Round 21 - Knights vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[Foordy]

Who drops off the team with Stagg back to the bench and Hannant joining in?

The CM says Slyney drops off the bench should Hannant play. And Stagg and Lui are fighting it out for the final bench spot (I assume because of the inclusion of Reed)

I hope the young guys do the jersey proud like they did last week against the Cowboys. Oates, Maranta, Dodds etc need another big game. Defensively we'll need to be even better as I fear the Knights have more points in them than we do. With better use of our bench, I think we'll get the win.

 

[Kimlo]

I'm missing the game because I have to work late. :witchhunt::witchhunt::witchhunt:
I do not like missing my Broncos games, I try to always roster around them but my hands are tied, we better win.

Don't worry mate, I'll text you the result! :thumbup1:

I hope Maranta realises that when the ball is being passed out towards his wing, he doesn't just stay 20m behind the line exposing his insider defender and instead runs up into the line.

In fact, if either of our wingers come in, and not mark their opposite, we're in big trouble against Uate and McManus. Unsurprisingly, one of their pet plays is the 2nd man with Boyd, hoping to draw the opposition winger inside.

Change to the bench. One drops out.

 

[Alec]

Hannant in?

 

[Porthoz]

If one drops out, it's probably Slyney for Stagg, with Reed in the centres.

Absolutely, rnabokov. Hopefully with more games under his belt, he will get better with his defense. I only just noticed that Maranta and Uate will be facing off. Let's hope both sets of halves give them quality ball. I wanna see these two speedsters flying down the sideline!

Genuine lol

Hannant is 'expected' back according to nrl.com late mail and McManus mightn't play. While I rate naiquama he has nothing on mcmanus' current form. I could see him scoring multiple tries from bombs. But with all these changes I think the win is ours

 

[1910]

Hannant in?

A decision has been made yes.

 

[Alec]

What decision, Locky?

 

[Bucking Beads]

I don't care either way but I'd prefer we save Hannant for next week. If it is such a close call it sounds like a risk. I know nothing though.

 

[1910]

What decision, Locky?

One forward in and one forward and not who the paper has named is going back.

 

[Porthoz]

One forward in and one forward and not who the paper has named is going back.

Is this after the Reed change already?

 

[Morkel]

One forward in and one forward and not who the paper has named is going back.

Sounds to me like the Q-Cup is getting an injection of Doddage.

 

[coreyh88]

That be crazy talk. Dodds is playing awesome. It'd be slyney or Lui or both. I hope Lui is first gone. I rate slyney and Lui has been linked with manly
