Mam: We'll Come Out Firing

Ezra Mam is looking for a fast start in Newcastle on Saturday as he returns to scene of his NRL debut.

www.broncos.com.au

- Need to fix the errors in our game
- Start hard and come out firing
- All of us individually and as a team need to find another level
- Has been frustrated with himself and making errors
- We need to start fast and the rest will take care of itself
- Not sure when Reyno's full return is but he's out there training with the team
- Reyno wants to come back as fast as he can, has been working hard on his recovery
- I've missed him but its been a good opportunity to learn how to play without him and the last 20 last week gives him hope moving forward
- Definitely can make finals
- We'll break the 6 losses in a row to win it things this year
- Ezra debuted against Newcastle three years ago now

That’s some talented reserves. Some bright futures in that bunch.

 

[mitch222]

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh Reynolds named on the extended bench gives me great fucking hope.

 

[Sproj]

The most expensive extended bench ever?

 

[Bronx48]

I just hope the origin guys back up. If they don’t, then Kevvie absolutely just wants this season over and doesn’t want to give them a chance of winning. It’s nice to see Arey’s name on there, but makes me sad too, imagine what could have been if he didn’t get injured.

 

[Sproj]

Well...let's say they are all available to play, I'm going:

1. Walsh
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Cobbo
5. Arthars
6. Mam
7. Reynolds (c)
8. Jensen
9. Walters
10. Haas
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Mozer
15. Willison
16. Taupau
17. Smoothy

Wow we have not had anything close to this for ages.

If we can win without them it’s a genius move
If we lose again…

No way do you run two hookers on the bench. Put Kobe over one of them and Mariner over Oates and thats the team to move forward with.

Smoothy was a better middle forward than Kobe last week. I'm not pulling this out of my butt

 

[Super Freak]

I'm willing to bet Walters naming the Origin players in the reserves means he's going to rest them.

I just got a feeling...

 

[Bronco bob]

Fogarty is back for the Raiders this week and he did his bicept in round 7. I don't think we should push Reyno despite our desperate need to win.

 

[BroncsFan]

I'm willing to bet Walters naming the Origin players in the reserves means he's going to rest them.

I just got a feeling...

Based on the presser last week I think the only way they dont play is if the high performance team say they cant.

I think Walters knows what this game means to our season and so should all the rep players. Barring injury, I would genuinely be shocked if they don't all back up.

I’m with you, I hope behind closed doors they are telling Kev that barring injuries they want in.
