PRE-GAME Round 2 - Sharks vs Broncos

[noisetheory]

fifita is a beast

Not sure if Dodds deserved to be dropped..

 

[mitch222]

If Wallace does make his way onto the bench I wont actually mind that. He was one of the very few actually improving last year and if he can keep this up he will be a solid prop. Maybe not your superstar but the bloke that comes off the bench, gives you 25-30 minutes of reliability and doesn't let you down. That's all I want from a bench prop.

 

[noisetheory]

Not sure if Dodds deserved to be dropped..

true. though he doesnt provide much go forward and maybe thats what bennett is looking for from wallace.

 

[subsbligh]

Why would that be Bennett logic? If you are just being negative for no reason then no need to answer, however if you're not I would be keen to hear why

Whitchurch appears untouchable.

He was a suprise selection in Wigan, played atrociously. Somehow still warranted selection.

He was a suprise selection for Rabbitons game and played atrociously.

Bennett's past selection behaviour indicates his terrible performances do not play a factor in selection decisions.

There's an unknown Bennett factor that Whitchurch possesses that puts him up the pecking order above Oates, Ofahengaue, Garbutt, Wallace, Vidot and even Lowrie and Stagg.

I would not be suprised if Nikorima replaces Gavet, and that's the only change.

BUT HAPPY TO READ SOMETHING DIFFERENT IN 10 MINUTES TIME

 

[subsbligh]

wallace may have made his way in? guess we'll see if this is right..

Ben Dobbin ‏@MyMateDobbo 2m2 minutes agoQueensland, Australia
@TripleM_NRL @TripleMBrisbane @sam_thaiday to start off the bench with j.wallace , ofahengaue ,k.nikorima for Friday clash @Cronulla_Sharks

Awesome news, if true.

 

[noisetheory]

I would not be suprised if Nikorima replaces Gavet, and that's the only change.

vidot already posted an instagram a few hours ago saying congrats to niko and ofa for making their nrl debuts this week

i bet we see an 18th man listed to keep us and everyone else on their toes lol

 

[broncos4life]

Erm.. No.

He ran for over 200m and made 35 tackles.

I'll admit he had a few silly errors but I'd kill to have him at the Broncos.

Fifita is still awesome but he didn't run for over 200m it was around 167, which is still awesome obviously

 

[Bucking Beads]

There have been rumours since they signed DCE, that they are also after a high profile Broncos player ... Thaiday fits the bill

It is Glenn or Thaiday from the rumours I have heard.

 

[Unbreakable]

If the Titans wanna take Thaiday off our hands I'd be extremely grateful.. More room for Glenn/Gillett/Oates, more salary cap room.. one less lazy player.

[noisetheory]

lol they picked mitch brown again


our team as expected after twitter news earlier. no 18th man listed :D

 

[Rally Towel]

Yes please.

Price notwithstanding, he'd be a good fit for them. Queensland product, well known and marketable. Past his prime but they'll need a few old hard heads around DCE as they rebuild.

 

[BroncosAlways]

Awesome to hear Joe made it despite WB saying publicly he'd have to wait, shows he didn't slack off and get disheartened. Just worked harder and earnt his place.

Time to get excited

 

[subsbligh]

Thaiday off the bench is a much better proposition.

Will he play in the middle?
