PRE-GAME Round 20 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[pagey]

Nikorima fullback .. cant see it .. just a wayne tactic .

Milf back to fullback??

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Milf back to fullback??

No way. Milf was pretty solid in his return to the 6. Need to build on it going into finals

 

[Broncs_Fan]

Even if Nikorima drops 2 or 3 bombs, we should still win IMO.

Yeah should. I think it will be close though.

According to Big League, Luke Patten is in the Bunker tonight. Sounds fair ...

Imagine Lionel Messi referring a Barcelona game after he retires... I wonder how that'd go down. The NRL at it once again with bonkers decision making.

It's amateur hour. Like it really comes across to me as, not that they're trying to **** us over, but that they just don't give a shit at all anymore about the integrity of the comp they're meant to manage. Say what you want about the AFL as a sport, but as an administration, the NRL isn't fit to polish their balls

This is why I hope the broncos game play will just click for once and we put a cricket score on these grubs. Don't rely on the 50 50 calls, just ruthless attack that can't be denied. Some Length of field tries wouldn't go astray.

Feeling a big win tonight. Playing to our strengths is playing to their weakness.

Play up tempo, keep the ball moving, kick deep and chase hard. Offloads once we work it over halfway. Run them ragged and watch them feel to pieces.

If we do run with Niko at 1, we'll have plenty of speed men in play at once. Milf, Niko, Hunt, and Jimmy the Jet. Pretty sure Pearson has some wheels on him too. When Marshall comes off the bench that's yet another weapon for them to contend with.

This is true, but when have we played to our strengths this year haha

Once against the roosters.

Milford will defend at fullback to protect his shoulder and then play 5/8 in attack. That's my guess. Makes sense.

Pearson isn't much slower than Roberts over a distance... Roberts is untouchable over 40.

Last time big fat Sam Kas took great pleasure in running all over Milford. Need to put him on his back tonight.

ALEX Glenn will start at second row while Kodi Nikorima will make his forecast switch to fullback tonight against the Bulldogs.
Glenn will start as per program with Sam Thaiday to come off the bench.
Both started in the back row last week with Matt Gillett rested, but expect to see more of Thaiday in a middle forward role tonight, with both Glenn and Gillett to play big minutes.
At the back Nikorima replaces Jamayne Isaako, who made his NRL debut last week.
Nikorima will provide some ball-playing skills in the custodian’s role, similar to what is expected to return when captain Darius Boyd makes a comeback from a broken thumb next week.
