Round 22 - Raiders vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Bucking Beads]

I was listening to ABC last weekend and they listed the MWP (Most worrying player), measured by most missed tackles per game and errors and penalties conceded so far this season. Ours was Glenn. I was very surprised!!

That is surprising.

that is very surprising.

but there are missed tackles, and there are missed tackles.

Te'o is our most ill disciplined, in my opinion.

NRL.com had an article earlier this year on best defenders. Both Gillett and Glenn were in the bottom 5 back rowers. Thaiday was in the top 5 though surprisingly.

Not after the last game he wouldn't be.

I've definitely noticed that Glenn gives away quite a few penalties. The missed tackles thing I dunno about though. He does drop off a number of them, but it feels like it's only when there are 3 or more players in the tackle, the tackle is almost complete, and he gets up and runs into the defensive line, allowing the other two to be the markers. Sounds like a bro to me.

I suppose it's another example of stats meaning nothing. If I was to rank our back rowers this year the order would be Parker, Glenn,Te'o, Gillett, Thaiday.

Maybe having the halves run the ball is Griffins master plan and is just throwing the opposition a major dummy. Come finals time everyone will expect one out running from us and the halves will be firing bullet cut out passes and 2nd man plays and score plenty on the outside.
*dreams*

Lockyer to impersonate Wallace. Sorry seemed funny in my head

 

[Bucking Beads]

Parker and Reed are in apparently. :thumbup1:

Will be a massive boost if they actually play, especially Parker. Whenever he is out it always shows how much this team need him.

 

[subsbligh]

I just put a few bucks on canberra

If the Broncos win I'll be delerious

If they lose, I'll be gutted, but comforted by my winnings :)

Gotta love hedging against your emotion investment.

Parker's return is a massive boost for the Broncos (and my SC team). So is Reed. Pushing Glenn and Te'o back into the second row and Gillett from the bench is such a massive boost. Suprising how the return of a few players can boost morale, espeically Parker - he's without doubt the fans choice as captain (nothing against Thaiday).

Look I've almost forgotten about last week as a result of a very busy work week. Hopefully the boys can put last week behind them and get a win on the board. I really want to see us have a decent crack at Manly and the Bulldogs.

im guessing glenn will still be in the centres, yeah?
