Round 20 - Cowboys vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[broncos4life]

Lama injured last night in a very disappointing performance.

From the if only file- Munster was outstanding. 105m try and three try saving tackles.

How serious is the injury? And was it a disappointing team performance? Or disappointing performance from
Him?

Yeah I heard Cameron Smith played really well the other night too, another one from the if only files!

Seriously though, is there any point to bringing this fact up? Or are we just gonna use it as a rod to beat ourselves again?

And Alex Glenn.. Griffin happened. Backwards at a rate of knots this season.

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for the club.

Hook has the opportunity to make some changes on Tuesday which I hope he opts for.

And if not, I'm sure we'll get a direct response.

Looking forward to it.

PING: Coxy, Beadsy, Foordy re: tomorrow's team list. Guys, just wondering what time the team list is due to be annouced for the Cowboys match? You guys got any intel on who may be in or out? Will keep checking back every few minutes from around 11am tomorrow anyway to see who has made the cut!

What a day tomorrow...I think tomorrow night's address by Hook is being looked upon as similar to a keynote speech by Whitey, Gee- Gee and the rest of the Board - let's hope all the prep work Hook has done for it pays off and fans come away from the address breathing a little bit easier. I know Hook doesn't have that great a reputation as a world-class orator but I think he is going to pleasantly surprise a lot OF people tomorrow night!

Anyways guys, get the munchies ready and can't wait for kick-off time...i.e. (Hook's address I mean, not the game).

Heard there will be, wallace benched.

Heard there will be, wallace benched.

Wow, that to me indicates Wallace will come on as bench hooker and Hunt will be in the halves. I like it.

Or more likely something like

1. Hoffman
6. Prince
7. Norman
9. Hunt
12. Macca
14. Lollace

Can't see the team looking like that.

 

[Rowan Edwards]

I think with the webchat being after the team announcement we can expect to see some minor changes. Wallace and Hunt swapping positions would be my best guess. Is Kahu's injury legit? I get the feeling Hook is going to persist with Thaiday in the front row with the reasoning being Hannant to come off the bench due to his calf. I'd like to see Maranta dropped but I really don't see it happening, not this game anyway.

1. Norman
2. Hoffman
3. Kahu / Oates
4. Hodges
5. Maranta
6. Prince
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. Macca
10. Thaiday
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. Parker

14. Wallace
15. Hannant
16. Hala
17. Stagg

Tasi unlucky to miss out but I don't think it'll be long before he gets another shot.

 

[Alec]

Can't see the team looking like that.

Probably not, but you never know with Hook. 10 points from Griffindor.

 

[noisetheory]

chris garry has posted that hunt will be the halfback this week with wallace playing hooker off the bench.

Wasn't the DCE rumor something like if he signs Wallace is leaving? Maybe I'm reading too much into things but I'm hopeful...

In any case I think it's a good move, Wallace is better suited to Hooker, Macca can play the opening and closing exchange and Wallace can play 20-60 minutes with Hunt at halfback. I like the move.

 

[rnabokov]

I can just see Wallace exploding out of the blocks at dummy half

 

[noisetheory]

this could mean nothing, but garry also says hoffman trained taking bombs from hunt and prince while norman and wallace trained with the normal group. he also said hes not ruling out hodges playing fb, but thats just his opinion.

guess we'll see tomorrow

 

[Kimlo]

I'd like to see Hodgo at fullback.

NRL: Parramatta Eels Chris Sandow, Corey Norman on notice

Some interesting stuff in this article.

Norman might not get a spot in the 17 (please be true).
Newcastle and Penrith have both expressed interest in Wallace, lol, appears he's much wanted.

I'd rather he did get a spot. Don't want there to be some sort of secret deal for us to keep him because they don't want him any more. :tongue_smilie:

 

[Broncoman]

Going to the leagues club for this one.
