Round 21 - Broncos vs. Eels - Build Up Thread

[Old Mate]

That's something that also grinder my gears, how often Beale and Hoff would nearly close under the highball.

I will say this (for at least the 4th time) the best performances Corey Norman has had at the club has seen him partnered with Ben Hunt. I don't know what it is, maybe it's how Hunt positions himself that puts the defence on the back-foot but Norman seems to relish that combination.

Wallace's positioning has always been a bit shakey for mine. Always seems to stand very flat and sometimes he'll be right next to a player....usually Thaiday.

Teo is free to play the Eels:001_tt2:

Great news :)

 

[Big Pete]

Loved to know how they got away with that.

Awesome news.

Scott Prince - if he lasts more than 2 more seasons without retiring or going to UK for a payday I'd be very suprised. I think he is also emboriled in some sh*t storm with Coral Homes isn't he??

Shaun Johnson - Kiwi through and through - harder than getting JT from the Cowboys

Todd Carney - yep, would last 3 minutes at a club with a strict culture (FFS we let go of Gagai for farting out of place)

Tongue in cheek about Carney. I don't even rate him that highly.....Prince is past it

Now Shaun Johnson would be worse odds than JT

but

you can't say for sure, about anyone. Hence the "who knows" in my earlier comment

Wallace's luring to Brisbane in itself was kinda left field ......

Ben Hunt, Wallace and Norman are the future for the Broncos. As soon as Broncos fans understand we have been unbelivably blessed with once in a generation players (Alf and Lockyer) at halves, then you might be able to put things in perspective

We can aim higher than Wallace.

How is Norman and Hunt ever going to play together or develop into a strong combination with ole Pete in the way?

maybe its just coincidence, maybe not. but i definitely agree.

Disagree.
Normans best game at 5/8 was VS Rabbits in 2010 with Wallace.

Disagree.
Normans best game at 5/8 was VS Rabbits in 2010 with Wallace.

And had a bloody good game vs Raiders last year as well, despite missing a thousand shots at field goal.

 

[Big Pete]

I'd take the 2012 Manly game over the deadbeat NYC type Souths game.

Is tonight the first time a Broncos player has had a charge dismissed at the judiciary ? Serious question ....

 

[Fozz]

It wasn't dismissed, it was downgraded to Grade 1.

 

[jarro65]

It wasn't dismissed, it was downgraded to Grade 1.

Which was a good result, as that is what it should have been graded as in the first place.

 

[Fozz]

I agree. That's two charges downgraded for T'eo this season and two (with Inglis) in one night, just proves MRC are a bunch of clowns. I wonder if we'll see more gradings being disputed in the future.

 

[Bull Shark]

Feels strangely liberating to have had one of our players treated like a Sydney player at the judiciary last night ....

surely it can't last - next bronco who fronts for anything will get eight weeks ...

 

[broncos4life]

My favourite part was that we get Teo back for the eels game and he will most likely head to Souff$ with 77 carryover points hahaha

 

[noisetheory]

they only gave us teo because its against the eels and no one cares about the eels.
