PRE-GAME [Round 21, 2024] Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Johnny92]

Burton doing all the kicking and sending them left... that will be Arthars wing rather than Oates at this stage, but I can see him wanting to test Reece as well.

If I'm Kevvie I'm not picking Mariner to return to the wing in this game, because he won't stand a chance against those kicks.

If Cobbo is fit I'd be tempted to play him left wing and Arthars right wing, with Mariner left centre... big concerns about Mariner playing right wing in this game if it happens.

Annoying thing is the dogs chase is always offside, because Burton stands deep to get his kicks off... ref called a penalty tonight, but anyone getting inside the 10m on a Burton kick is pretty much always offside

Was about to post the same concern.
If Cobbo returns Arthurs will go back to the left for Oates and Mariner over to the right.
Having Cobbo and Mariner defending together alongside Ezra and Piakura or a new backrower is also a worry.

Reckon a smoky for left back row could be cobbo.

 

[Super Freak]

Bulldogs have been a real gritty side this year.

This is going to be a very tough game. We can't repeat the way we started last night.

Reckon a smoky for left back row could be cobbo.

Kevvie will go for either Patty or Willison and hurt our go forward.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Kevvie will go for either Patty or Willison and hurt our go forward.

Both options make the most sense tbh

 

[Manofoneway]

Kevvie will go for either Patty or Willison and hurt our go forward.

Whatever choice he makes, it will be the wrong one! thats for sure! rofl

If it were me, I would put Kobe in for Piakura. I think he can do the job there, and I think it disrupts the structure the least.

It needs to be Kobe... we can't lose Patty from lock, whilst simultaneously losing Payne, because he's doing Patty's ballplaying role... and we can't lose Willison from the middle rotation.

If Kev wants any tips to slay the Bulldogs just give Toddy a ring through the week...

Any news on Jaiyden Hunt being available? Understand he's had a hand injury but words been quiet.

There's been nothing about him whatsoever, even before he was injured, he just kind of disappeared.

Day game…

Day game…

Oh no we won't know what to do.

I think he would be another week or two away.

He had a hand operation incoming when we played the Warriors, that was expected to keep him out for 5 weeks.

Day game…

Coupled with Burton bombing all game

 

[Bucking Beads]

The fact that it won’t happen shows how little value Kobe has to the team tbh. If a guy his size isn’t an automatic shift to the edge then he’s just not good enough.

Day game…

I’m excited for a day game. Should see our best footy
