Round 19 - Broncos vs Warriors - Pre-Match Discussion

[Alec]

Thaiday has been playing lock, but with both Oates and Gillett out, we need him out wide.

 

[Big Pete]

Surely the backline looks like...

20. Jordan Kahu
5. Dale Copley
4. Justin Hodges
19. Lachlan Maranta

Kahu on Hurrell would be death.

 

[Foordy]

Probably team:

1. Barba
19. Maranta
20. Kahu
4. Hodges
5. Copley
6. Hoggman
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Parker
11. Glenn
12. Thaiday
16. Lowrie

14. Hannant
15. Hala
17. Granville
18. Stagg

I think Copley will move to center and Kahu on the wing

Jordan Drew possibly.....

 

[Bucking Beads]

Forgot about Kahu. Apparently there will be 1 more change as well.

14. Hannant

17. Granville
18. Stagg

Copley to reeds spot surely

 

[broncos4life]

Haha **** we are a joke. An absolute fucking joke

 

[Big Pete]

Jordan Drew possibly.....

Knowing your strike-rate, that possibly is basically a 'probably'.

Forgot he was back this week.

 

[Porthoz]

Surely the backline looks like...

20. Jordan Kahu
5. Dale Copley
4. Justin Hodges
19. Lachlan Maranta

Kahu on Hurrell would be death.

I'd prefer that as well, but Copley is sortta used to the wing (at least in Hook's mind), where Kahu has been playing Centre in ISC. Jordan Drew is also an option, if he is fit.

 

[8R0NC05]

Marmin Barba also a possibility for the wing spot? Least we'd have someone with a bit of speed in the team..

 

[Big Pete]

Jack Reed has never missed a game and usually if there's been a change to the backline Copley has shifted to the centres to cover so I'd assume that will happen here. Just depends on how much Hook values Copley's ability to play right over left.

Also wouldn't be totally surprised to see...

20. Kahu
6. Hoffman
5. Copley
19. Maranta
4. Hodges

 

[Danoz Direct]

I would love to see someone like Drew or M Barba get their debut.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Kennedy in?

 

[ivanhungryjak]

@chrisgarry1: Martin Kennedy set to return for the Brisbane Broncos! Training with team right now.

 

[Rally Towel]

I would love to see someone like Drew or M Barba get their debut.

Drew's already had a shot last year, didn't he?

Word is Copley left centre, and Maranta / Kahu on the wings.

 

[Brett]

Man I hope Kennedy rips in.

 

[Rally Towel]

Man I hope Kennedy rips in.

I've hung my fair share of shit on him, but he's a better option than old man Stagg.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I've hung my fair share of **** on him, but he's a better option than old man Stagg.

Yeah as critical as I have been of him, his a better selection and hopefully he dishes out a performance that can at least warrant continued selection.
