PRE-GAME Round 2 - Titans vs Broncos

[holdzy]

Broncos by 22.

Asiata to return off the bench.

Fifita to go missing for 60 minutes.

He's going to go missing permanently after Riki tackles his soul out of his body.

But the cream on the cake was no Darius Boyd. FMD that prick stunk up the team. Good riddance.

Fun fact: The opposition will have a Darius and a Boyd on the team list next week...that should be enough to bury them

I swear Tino just shoulder charged sironen. May be in trouble

That’s what I thought. Would like another look. 1 week suspension should do it ...

Pangai would have been sent off for it

Any updates on Asiata and Coates? It's reasonable to assume Lodge will be missing a couple of weeks.

Asiata good to go. Coates has nothing serious, maybe good next week.

I'm confident in getting the points if we play with the same intensity as last night. I am hoping Kevvie has told the team well done, but that is your bare MINIMUM performance moving on.

Updated team, given Asiata is apparently good to go and I would be sitting Coates out for a week as precaution anyway:

1. Isaako
2. Mead
3. Farnworth
4. Niu
5. Coates
6. Milford
7. Croft
8. Pangai Jr
9. Turpin
10. Carrigan
11. Glenn (c)
12. Riki
13. Asiata

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Bullemor
17. Teo

Given what is available, I like the balance of this team. The other option is Arthars to centre and Farnworth to wing, Copley out but I dunno, Farnworth was SOOOOO impressive at centre, he deserves another shot.

Coates still bit of a kid. He had the face of a sad child who just had a tumble when they walked him off.

I think Coates will be ok... doesn't sound like there was anything structural to worry about with him, likely just stiffness for a few days.

I think Asiata is less of a chance given it is nerve related, but I hope he is available.

Don't think I would change too much from last night's team. Kevvie has a plan for the team and I don't think one close loss requires wholesale changes.

Kennedy in for Lodge (Flegler to start)... if we lose Asiata as well it starts to get very skinny. It's probably Palasia or Oates that are next in line with Bullemor having to take on a much bigger role. I would prefer Oates remain in Qcup to get some confidence up and miles in his legs, but he probably comes onto the bench if Asiata is out

If Coates is out I'd bring in the next best winger (Arthars or Copley)... Herbie has been training all preseason at center so we can't just panic and move him to wing after one injury.

Paix to stay in Qcup to get some minutes at hooker... noting that he is playing at souths logan with Dearden.

1. Isaako
2. Mead
3. Farnworth
4. Niu
5. Coates (Arthars / Copley if out)
6. Milford
7. Croft
8. Pangai Jr
9. Turpin
10. Flegler
11. Glenn (c)
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Asiata (Kevvie has a plan for Asiata and it was working before he went off)... probably has to be Oates if Asiata is out
15. Kennedy
16. Bullemor
17. Teo

We should roll them on today’s performance.

 

[Sproj]

Fifita is off yeah?

Yup.

 

[Donald Garner]

Fifita ran for 44m

Definately worth that 1.1mil a year

I actually thought it was less.

Brandy sounds so sad congratulating the Warriors on their win.
