Round 21 - Broncos vs. Eels - Build Up Thread

[Big Pete]

How do we turn it around?

 

[Bucking Beads]

It'll be tough with all the outs we are likely to have. Just need to play to our strengths. Also need to improve our last tackle options

 

[Alec]

Swap Hunt for Norman. Give him a shot, there is still time. I'd like to say swap Beale and Hoffman in attack as well, but you don't really see players swap positions like that every few minutes anymore.

 

[Big Pete]

If Hoffman, Hodges, Te'o and Parker are all out...

1. Gerard Beale
2. Lachlan Maranta
3. Alex Glenn
4. Aaron Whitchurch
5. Nathaniel Barnes
6. Corey Norman
7. Peter Wallace
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Petero Civoniceiva
11. Dunamis Lui
12. Sam Thaiday
13. Matt Gillett

14. Ben Hunt
15. Brendon Gibb
16. Josh McGuire
17. Mitchell Dodds

*shivers*

If we were to duplicate a player, maybe it should be someone better than Wallace?

This game couldn't have come at a better time.

[user_nat]

Us by 20.

Lol. (seriously though, needs to happen)

 

[Broncoman]

I'm going to this match and I will be cheering as loud as I can to get the boys over the line.

 

[rnabokov]

It's too late in the season to move Norman. He needs to be given some therapy on how and when to pass the ball. He can do it. Trouble is, it's not very often.

Last night showed what can happen if a lot more ball goes to Gillett out wide, BUT there needs to be support, particularly for Gillett, Parker and Thaiday.

Beale into 2nd man plays from the back.

Stop the bloody one-out running and pass and pass the ball

 

[Coxy]

There were times last night when the 2nd man play was building, but inevitably Hoffman killed it. Again it comes down to the fact he's too shallow on that 2nd man play. He needs to be told to get so deep that he feels too deep, and then get another 2 metres deeper, and that'd be about right.
