PRE-GAME Round 20 - Broncos vs Storm

[ivanhungryjak]

Who was that in the Bunker? They should be deadset embarrassed to have come up with that crap. If it’s not cheating, it’s a bees dick away from it.

Just like the penalty count squaring up each game..

Bugger, the cowboys are getting flogged which, if we lose to the storm knocks us back out of the 8 as the tigers leapfrog us. I know there still 5 rounds after this week but it definitely feels better to be sitting in the 8. Please win fellas!

Yep, we are fucked refwise this week.

The only positive out of that is the team have fallen out of the 8 so they know a win gets them straight back in there... combine that with the words coming out of training and they as a team don't really want to look at excuses

Have to keep winning if they want to play finals.

Anddddd we’re out of the 8. Fucking cowboys

I don't think Coates is playing.

Fensom has been brought in to the 17 & Ofahengaue is playing right edge according to the team update.

WTF? Ofa on an edge?

Not sure how I feel about it. I have really liked Glenn at centre. His defence and the runs out of our end the backs normally do have been great for our team. Farnsworth or Coates would have been a risk, maybe worth it, but still a risk...
But I am indifferent to ofa at 2nd row and fensom on the bench. Don't get me wrong, I think they'll both do decent jobs but it makes our bench a lot more "reliable" and a lot less impact.we need a dynamic 17 to pay the full 80 minutes.
Tbf we are running out of options in the forwards. TPJ would have been perfect for this game. Its a shame the nrl are so intent on making it fair for the poor victimised storm team..
Farnworth or Coates on the bench instead of fensom would have been a left field option I wouldn't have minded.. Might have totally back fired, but we don't have a great record against the storm when we have played it safe...

I'll wait till the final 17... does Seibs update his 17 and reserves after each cut or does he just indicate that Gillett is out and someone decides what to do from who ever is left.

We have also played with Flegs as a 2nd row before (he scored a try in the game??) if that were the case then it would be Offa 13 Flegs 12.

It seems a bit odd to go with Fensom given our bench and I'm not sure Flegs is up to 80min on the edge against storm... seems more likely Herbie or Coates comes in.

Was there any footage of training through the week for who was playing where??

Saw someone say Herbie was in based on captain's run

 

[Old Mate]

Just pissed myself. Darius comment was classic. "wow... Wow".

Yeah it was that or a bunch of f’s and c’s.

Well, it's D Day. I think our season hinges on this match. I know there's five more matches after this but my gut tells me this is a must win. I don't doubt the team can win but should we lose I fear the consequences.

The team should be up for this game and they appear to be forming a rhythm, a familiarity with one another but they're up against a team that already knows it's song by heart. The Broncos cannot allow any soft tries early on, it's too difficult to score and nullify such an advantage.

We have to hope the refs have a good game and penalise the wrestle heavily. It's time for a bit of good fortune.

That just never happens against the Storm...ever.

You think that's bad, Issac Luke has been charged with a Grade 2 Dangerous Throw for his tackle on Dylan Brown. How can that be a Grade 2 and how can Trbojevic's be a Grade 1?

Because Jake is a good bloke.

 

[broncos4life]

It seems I agree with the governing body that hands down punishments for such events

It wasn't a shoulder charge and he wasn't charged with a shoulder charge.

Have you ever read a post you agree with or are you fundamentally different? Do you actually believe you are more intelligent than everyone you encounter? I think there's a name for such a condition.

He used to agree with plenty of posts when Bennett was coach.
