Writing is in the wall.Mariner justifying his selection over Oates.
Oatesy (love him) won’t get a look in unless origin etc…
AquaMan & Jesse are the wingers.
Writing is in the wall.Mariner justifying his selection over Oates.
mate half the time the Carrigan is first receiver, in the modern game locks are being used more and more as first receiver.Nah 2nd 5 / 8 .
He takes the ball on the run a cpl of passes wide . Half is 1st receiver and closer to the ruck .
Defending as a fullback and defending on the line are soo different there is no way you can assume to think he could or couldn't handle it, most tackles Reece has to do he has players flying at him at much higher speed often as last man, totally different, in comparison most tackles halves make they have help.The opposition 2nd rowers would be licking their lips .
He is not up to making 20 tackles on the edge .
He is an attacking weapon . A liability in defence .
We parked at Oxley too. I grew my beard back waiting for the train at MiltonMy car is parked at Oxley station ... I could walk there, pick up my car and still get home to Ipswich before a train arrives to take me home
How did you find your first game back at Suncorp??We parked at Oxley too. I grew my beard back waiting for the train at Milton
Just being there was awesome. Frustrated at what was a sloppy game from both sides.How did you find your first game back at Suncorp??

Yep sloppy game to view... happy to get the two points out of it. Thought we looked a bit better for the second half.Just being there was awesome. Frustrated at what was a sloppy game from both sides.
Was great to see star moments though, Walsh, Cobbo, Mariner all can turn poor games into a Broncos win with a moment of magic.
Disappointed but not surprised at the cost of food & drink.
Happy to see 35k for a Thursday night….. it was a bit harder getting up for work the next morning too.
Overall it was great to be back!
Also his chase on Johnson. Corey doesn't get close. Mariner had to turn and close a 10+ meter gap and was able to do it easy.Both of those tries from Mariner, Oates does not score those. He doesn't even come close.
We have a genuine speedster for kicks behind the line, I'm willing to sacrifice the metres Oates makes for that. And that chip and chase try, the confidence to even try it..
I would like to think he's putting the debate to bed on whether Oates should be in the side over him.
I might get the occasional slip up if you lost a big game and the emotion got the better of you, but this guy just cussed a handful of times after putting in a shit performance.
Its not necessary and this is a family sport.
Hope he gets a nice fine for it to be honest.
Do you want Walsh to get the ball first or do you want him second or third on an edge? It’s a simple choice for me.mate half the time the Carrigan is first receiver, in the modern game locks are being used more and more as first receiver.

He is obviously a better fullback, but I still don't see any evidence he can't play 7, I never once said I would prefer him at 7 over fullback don't know how many times I have to repeat that before it sinks in.I think Musta saw Walsh step through the Rabitohs ruck the other night and thinks he could do that every week .
He will be better value out wider and on both sides of the field IMO . He throws some very nice passes out there .
If you think Reynolds isn't among the greatest retention **** ups (souffs) and retention coups (broncos) in the respective club histories, you're an idiot.
Add to that he is a club legend and wanted to stay for peanuts.... ffs. And his post career desire to help out the club through invaluable coaching with his smarts o the fields... he could be held together with tape, nearly is, and he's still great for us overall...
I thought Cobbo had.a pretty good game
