Round 20 - Titans vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Old Mate]

haha really??? FFS this is getting ridiculous. Move on mate she wasn't worth it, plenty more fish in the sea etc etc.

How can you say that with a username like yours, I'm a broncos fan, I'm not going to move on even if there are 16 different fish in the sea. You fair weather supporters.

Allright guys, no more posts regarding anyone's worth as Broncos fan or Josh Hoffman unless it relates to the Titans game. If you want to continue the discussion on Hoff, make another thread.

One thing I don't understand is why Gillett doesn't play at centre, considering he played there earlier in the season.

 

[Kimlo]

Cause he was horrible there in the last few times he's played.

 

[Alec]

He'd only be up against Michaels, could be a good way to get some confidence back with 4 tries, haha.

 

[Kimlo]

I think Glenn played very well there, actually excited to see what he can do this week at centre.

 

[ningnangnong]

Glenn didn't even really get a chance to play at centre last Friday... he shifted to the wing with Te'o moving to centre when Copley went off. Still did an admirable job though!

If we're doing the whole 'moving a backrower to centre' thing, it has to be him or Te'o. I don't want to see Gillett in the centres again. His defence there was horrible.

 

[Big Pete]

Glenn, Gillett and Te'o all share the role.

Gillett's actually been fine in the centres. The problem was, he wasn't used to playing the full 80 and was caught out in the end.

 

[noisetheory]

glenn is the best option in the centres imo. teo should be used as a weapon on the edges. gillett should be used.. i dunno. just not at centre at least at this point in time. let him float around and tell him to follow the ball a bit.

 

[Alec]

I like Glenn in the back row. I want to see him be used a bit more like Wade Graham, setting up others with short passes every now and then.

 

[noisetheory]

id prefer him in the backrow yes - just mean out of those three choices as a fill in centre.

 

[Alec]

I think Te'o has played just as well in the centres as in the back row in the past. He knows how to hit holes too, and there is more space out there.

Isn't Idris on the Titan's right side?

 

[Alec]

Hmm, you might be right. Either way, Michaels could get owned.

 

[Foordy]

actually he'd be up against Idris... Hodges will get the 4 tries since he is going against Michaels :laugh:

I like Glenn out wider than T'eo. Glenn has a very good step and I reckon he's more agile laterally than T'eo. In fact I reckon he's as effective in the centres, wing, FB wherever, as in the back row.
