Well Beale is faster than Gagai so he wins!!

 

[Charmamba]

Gagai is an awesome player.. but he isn't ready for a fulltime 1st grade spot yet.

Beale's not fast. Couldn't even keep up with Gagai on the intercept.

Well you are the stats man so I am sure you can find something around that will prove you wrong..

I think he would handle fulltime first grade fine but he is behind Beale and that is the way it will stay until injuries or form make that change.

The only person behind Beale is [insert witty line about Bucking Beads and homos]

I wonder if Griffin ever calls in any Ex-Broncos to come in to do a speech before games? Would be the perfect game tomorrow night to make that happen... I should just drop into the change rooms on the way to my seat.

This is the one game that I worry about all season. There is only one team I cant stand losing to and that's the Storm add to that, from what I recall they have a 66% winning record against us. IMO this IS our game of the regular season, we will have no excuses for a loss. IMO I think if we play smart, tough and apply consistent pressure we will win. The Storm have not been playing all that well and have racked up scores against teams, like the Raiders that give them cheap ball in good field position. Kick to the edges and smother Slaters kick return, good line speed in defence reducing Smith and Cronks options. And in attack, the inside pass does not work too well against the Storm as the Raiders proved. I think the wide running plays work best against them, sweeping back line movements to get on the outside of their wingers as they like to jam in, in defence and back their scramble. If we are on our game we should win, if not, then the Storm have enough quality players to put plenty of points on us, I'm nervous but can't wait.

i also cannot wait for this game. been itching for it all week.

had a dream about it last night. we were down 16 - 4. someone like alex glenn then grabbed an intercept after some good defense pressure and we got it back to 16 - 10 early in the second half. cant remember what happened after that. haha

Hmm..
So we should back Alex Glenn for FTS of the second half?

Norman back in the under 20's seems his QLD cup experiment was short lived. Gagai in under 20' where he belongs lol

Not quite. Split round in the Queensland Cup this weekend, Norths aren't playing. But fingers crossed he's back there the week after!

 

[Bucking Beads]

Gagai is hopeless in defense as a fullback and Norman is all class great kicking game.
