PRE-GAME [Round 22, 2022] Broncos vs Knights

[Mightybroncs2k17]

To me the last two weeks we've been playing like a side who's run their race and run out of puff. Given we are still such a young team it's probably no suprise that we've hit the wall.

The real unknown is if that game against the Eels was our grand final and mentally and physically after been so strong most of the season can they pick back up for finals.

I'm hopeful the last two weeks were a combination of a bit of fatigue and complacency which two bad losses and a 9 day turn around will take care of and we pick up our act here.

It would be Handy if the knight's have an absolute stinker saturday and play our boys back into a bit of form and give them a confidence boost.

I don't even want to think about what a loss or poor performance does for us but i would suggest a long, slow painfull and premature exit from the competition would ensue.

 

[McHunt]

Well, Penrith did us no favours.

Yep, they've put us on seven minutes to midnight. We need to put the Knights away in the first twenty minutes tomorrow night.

 

[Volvo Driver]

Lee out with a leg injury. Hoeter in.

That sux.

 

[Sproj]

Hoeter will finally get to show what he's got in his preferred position, he'll go fine.

I think you are right but there might be a different reason too. The Broncs have qualified for finals regardless of the mathematical possibilities, it could be that the young guys in the team have kind of checked out of the season and hope they can just switch it on again for finals. Dangerous thinking but given where we've come from and how young they are, it does make sense.

Take Lee out with a leg injury. Hoeter in.

I love Kevvie but I dearly hope TMM comes out, has a blinder and just completely humbles him.

Respect you and your posts mate, but this one has me scratching my head.
It's not like Kev has kept TMM out of the side by choice and has been forced to pick him because Tesi is injured or something.
TMM lost the spot through injury and Kev has bought him back in a managed way.
Can you explain your thinking here?

Dang !
Brenko has battled calf strains for a while . Interesting Hoeter and not Mariner ?

Did you not know that four minutes ago when you stated it was interesting Hoeter was picked over Mariner?

 

[Big Del]

Hoeter started one game at centre .
Had to move to wing mid game . Is that right ?

Forgot / didn`t think it was that bad .
No reports re during the week I saw ?

We see guys grabbing and flexing their shoulders all the time . Doesn`t automatically make me think . Well he`s out next week .

I think so, yep. Plus if he struggles, just throw Cobbs there.

 

[Foordy]

Klemmer has been ruled out after “flaring up and old knee injury”

Was said knee injured upon contact with Adam O'Brien's face?

Not really. Mariner had a run and didn't set the world on fire. Hoeter did a solid job, and (correct me if I'm wrong), plays centre normally?
