PRE-GAME [Round 19, 2024] Broncos vs Dragons

**** origin.

I wonder if Karapani might replace Oates late as he has a knee injury which I think he’s been carrying for some time and would explain his massive drop in speed.

In any case, I feel 99% sure Semu is debuting this week.

I fear if Semu doesn't we'll be conceeding a couple of hundred kilos to their pack. Even with him we'll be light on. Surely it's ducks and drakes to keep pressure off him until game day?

Awesome. ANOTHER team that we will play into form because they will have a rocket up their ass from being flogged the week before

We should have had a rocket after the titans performance…

 

[McHunt]

So your plan is to drop our regular starting hooker so that a two game rookie can replace him or a bench hooker playing lock transitions to hooker effectively playing 80 minutes. If our halves go down, we move our fullback, winger and bench Centre into positions that none of them have ever played at first grade level before.

All during a game in which 5 of our regular starters are missing at a time when 13 of our top 30 players are unavailable.

Mchunt. Did Billy bang your Mrs or something mate?

Wait, have you looked at the team list? We're already playing a hooker in the forwards and a rookie on the bench. Complaints are we're not fielding another muscle. I was responding to that. You agree that Billy is only good for a short burst, right? Jesse has played fullback and Tristan has played in the halves.

Your reply makes no sense.

Why do you think that is mate?

I am eager to hear your view on this topic, I don't think we've covered it before.

Are you saying it's nepotism again? They're your words, not mine.

By the way, you two look so damn cute together.

The effort was there.

I didn't say anything, I asked for your thoughts.

We don't do rockets.

Just keep turning the ball over and making ourselves do more tackling. I'd be interested to know when the last time we completed near 90% was.

First half against sharks I think. It all went to crud after

I think we were at like 89% for the first half of the Panthers game (can remember it from the halftime show)... ended up being 77% by the end, but we were chasing points after they assed that try when no one went after the botched midfield bomb

 

[Bucking Beads]

Oates fit to play apparently

Karapani needs to drop off that bench... we are way too small with dargs naming a 4 forward bench.

Oates: The Results Will Come

Broncos winger Corey Oates reassures fans that hard work means the wins aren't far away.

www.broncos.com.au

- Oatesy wants to retire a one club player so it is either extend with the Broncs or retire

If he wants to stay on minimum wage, we should absolutely keep him. Yes he is showing so many signs of slowing down but he is very experienced and who else out there can offer what he does for the same price? Extending him should be a no brainer

Whatever you do, don't use a yawning emoji.

I don’t think he plays on. We won’t offer him a contract IMO.

 

[Allo]

Min wage only for Oates because honestly what’s the downside, hell you could even subsidise him assuming Reynolds hasn’t taken it all and he’d cost like 50k if that on the cap.

He can be the 10-15min benchie though when he gets picked, no more wing unless we have an injury mid-game

 

[Manofoneway]

I'd offer Oates a min wage contract. Can play on the bench or BR. If we have another season injury riddled next year we will probably need him.
