PRE-GAME [Round 20, 2026] - Broncos vs Panthers

[Sproj]

Let's assume we are full strength for this game, I'd start to have a bit of an eye on 2027. So I'd consider going:

1. Walsh
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Anderson
6. Mam
7. Duffy
8. Carrigan
9. Walters
10. Haas
11. Piakura
12. Jiki
13. Willison

14. Mozer
15. Semu
16. Talty
17. Francis
18. Reynolds/Bunt
19. Perham

20. Bunt/Reynolds

I know this won't happen.

We have a bye which means we’ll be even worse than the week before because somehow resting does the opposite for this team.

Difference with the ball on a string so far for Souths.

Difference with the ball on a string so far for Souths.

Hope he comes right in. Even if he's not 100%, at least he gives a shit and will put in more effort than most of these soft prima-donna *****.

This exactly where I'm at. Our defence has been shit for years, even during our last two grand final years. I don't think Teo brought that much to the table re: defence. I think the bigger issue was that the players seemed to love him being around. They all talked highly of him from what I've seen.

This. People have just latched on to the fact that Teo was our D coach, nevermind that our D has been shit for years. The players need a buffer between them and the coach, which he was and the loss of that can't be understated IMO.

Need a change at hooker. Someone that will keep the markers honest and give the boys front foot ball. I get Walters may be lacking match fitness, but fk it we've lost 8 in a row, something has to change. Start Walters, sub in Mozer after 30mins, then Walters comes back to close out to the last 15-20mins of the game.

Start Haas, X and PC in the middle, play them 60mins each, stagger their rest. Have Talty + 2 others spell them, and hope + pray they don't shit the bed during that time
