I wish we had prince again this season, we was playing so good in back end of the season.

Many of griffins plans baffled me, but none more than this. Unless prince actually said he was going to retire (which I doubt) why tell him he won't be needed next year? Obviously griffin convinced himself Milford was coming in 2014, but with so much doubt prince provided the perfect insurance policy.

Griffins a dick

We have been so fucking flat the past couple of weeks. Well drilled sides know we revolve around Hunt so if he has no room we are fucked.

Get deeper, run better lines and for ***** sake Macca learn how to fucking pass!

True that, we kinda took Prince for granted last year, he had his fair share of poor games, but towards the back end of the season he was pretty much just class.. throw Hoffman on the wing and put Prince in the 6 this season and we're probably a premiership contender.

I would be happy to trudge the same side out this week against the dogs (Reed to centre, Maranta to wing for Hodges). Kennedy for Lowrie would be nice but aint gonna happen. Also, I think bench Thaiday cause he has been really poor with his work ethic in the past couple of weeks. Put Parker to lock, promote Hannant, bench Thaiday and tell them to start getting more creative.

Guess we shouldn't be shocked at this stage of the season. Lowrie over Kennedy still makes no sense and Parker is still being played out of position to accommodate one of Glenn, Gillett and Thaiday.

Anyway, it's hard to see a Broncos win here unless Hunt fires. I just hope for the team they stay competetive. We still love ya guys!

What is up with his obsession in having 1 prop on the bench?

fwiw i thought Lowrie had his best game for us last week.

but,

it's still ridiculous to have him on the bench and play limited minutes.

need some bigger bodies against the doggies.

It's fucking bullshit. I can't even be bothered with the stupid old bastard anymore. I wish he had just left, even if it means we had Kearny for the rest of the year

What is that saying about doing the same thing time after time and expecting different results?

We really do need Kennedy against the Dogs, their pack is full of huge fuckers.

I guess most of those selections weren't unexpected. I just knew Reed would slot back in after the Hodges injury but I still would have gone with Kahu. The constant naming of a 19-20 man side is now just ****ing me. Brian Smith used to do this as a bit of gamesmanship - he knew the 17 who were taking the field. I don't get that with this coach. How can you not know who the best 17 are?
