PRE-GAME [Round 22, 2023] Broncos vs Roosters

Disappointed that Xavier isn’t getting a game but that was expected.

 

[Mustafur]

I think Willison at 18 tells me there might be a late change because I don't see a Forward being our 18th man, I would expect Sailor, Madden or Perreira to be that by game day.

 

[Morepudding]

Disappointed that Willison is 18th man. He’s been better than palasia.

 

[Culhwch]

Honestly thought Willison would stay in the team. Still, shows the great depth and good form we've enjoyed that he's been pushed out, and he'll be back.

 

[Super Freak]

It's probably better for Willison to play big minutes in ISC than 10-15 off the bench in first grade.

Haas, Jensen and Flegs are going to play the bulk of the minutes.

Carrigan back where he belongs

This is actually makes sense. I’m in the “disappointed camp” of Willison missing out, however if he churns out 60mins in ISC, it’s more useful than 15mins in NRL. Good point @Super Freak
At the same time, **** Palasia.

 

[Swordfish]

Wish Williston is in the team. Having had a week off, except Piakura to build on his performances thus far.

All in all, great team which is bound to perform. Winner winner dinner Thursday night!

And imagine the beast getting fitter and more match-hardened, and coming on for a 20 minute stint against tired forwards and small halves in the grand final. Fucken tramplin' time.

22 - Dylan Napa - when did he go back to the Roosters

 

[Super Freak]

I think Kevvie was always going to opt for experience over youth against a pack like the Roosters.

22 - Dylan Napa - when did he go back to the Roosters

Earlier this year, been at the feeder most of the year I think

 

[Manofoneway]

Agree. Palasia playing 15 minutes off the bench is a better option. Go back and apply what you have learned in NRL to QCup willison. Also do we even know if palasia was offered a contract at brisbane beyond this year? I didn't hear that we offered him a contract which is why he's gone to the tits.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Anybody know the ETA for Oates to return? Mariner is solid but Oates is a beast!

It says round 24 to 27 depending on recovery.

During the pre-season, Palasia signed with the Titans for 2024, for more money than we were prepared to offer

Yeah just read. They offered 33% more than us. Fair enough
