Round 20 - Storm vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[noisetheory]

yup. round 1 is more of a warm up round anyway.

this week is business.

 

[jarro65]

The Storm are purring along nicely at the moment, but so are we.

It'll get down to errors in the end i think ..... i just hope we have one of those days where everything we try comes off.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Get angry guys. This is the same team that unfairly ended our season in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Bellamy, Slater, Smith, Sika Manu, Adam Blair...all scum. I lol @ the Titans but a I purely HATE The Storm.

 

[Meat77]

This is absolute crap that those of us in NSW have to put up with watching two bottom feeding teams live instead of two top 4 teams...

Please defend that Rocky!

 

[jarro65]

Lockyers got the flu and has been sent home from training today.

 

[vertigo]

Flu-like symptoms... fingers crossed.

 

[Kimlo]

Lucky it's early in the week!

 

[The Brizz]

I don't expect a win but am reasonably hopeful. We have to go up several gears in attack to score any amount of points against this side who are in great form and also lift to play us on most occcasions. This is a real barometor for our young squad as we can see about 8 weeks or so from finals footy exactly how we match up against a side that will definitely be there and play that grinding finals style footy. I am not that concerned long term if we lose as long as it is close.

 

[noisetheory]

I am not that concerned long term if we lose as long as it is close.

agree. as long as we take something out of it and then beat them in the finals, when it really matters.

[Porthoz]

Hope we will hatch a plan to protect Beale against Matt Duffie in the aerial battle, as it is a mismatch of Folau vs Turner proportions...
I have no doubt Cronk and co will bomb that side preferably.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Well from the interviews I have read and heard Griffin apparently has the side working hard defensively at training so hopefully that will help, can't afford drops like Yow Yeh did in the first half against the titans either.

Now ask yourself would Cronk not target that same wing if Gagai was on the wing. Go on do it.

 

[Charmamba]

agenda against Beale :shake:

 

[Coxy]

Yeah why the Beale hate? Can't work it out.
