Yeah righto, I know who we're talking about now, I watched the Redcliffe game on the weekend. Some reason I thought he was still in the 20's? I just hope whoever plays outside Roberts has the wheels to go with him in support

He has the wheels, don't worry about that.
 
Anthony Milford hasn't made a line-break since Round 10.

And it's no surprise really judging by this photo from training yesterday..

What's going on with our training staff? I thought Corvo was like some god-tier fitness guru who was going to get all of our players down to their ideal weight and playing at maximum fitness, Milford looks like he's worrying more about ice-breaks than line-breaks..

**** me dead, might put some coin on Parra so I don't rage too hard at the loss. Glenn is hopeless in the centres, deadset clueless in defence.
 
Michael Gordon plays his 200th NRL game tomorrow night.

Remember what I said about Broncos having a knack for losing when opposition players are reaching milestones?

And we also struggle with our own milestones.

ALEX Glenn has no idea what the Broncos are in for tonight from Parramatta - and he is not sure what position he will be playing yet.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]With Lachlan Maranta racing the clock to be fit because of a hip injury, Glenn could yet find himself in the centres.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is a position he has filled several times this season as the Broncos have dealt with injuries to Jack Reed and Jordan Kahu.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Glenn could easily play in the centres and Tom Opacic go to the wing, with debutant Jonus Pearson on standby to come into the squad.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Whatever coach Wayne Bennett tells him to do when he gets to the stadium tonight will be fine, said Glenn.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And aiming up against the Eels at Suncorp Stadium is going to be a huge task.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"They are one of those teams you really have to preare well against because when they are on, they are on and they can really do some damage on the field," said Glenn today.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"They are an electrifying team so we have to make sure we turn up tonight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"They are going to be fired up and playing with a lot of pride tonight.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"I'm still a forward at the moment so I have to keep my focus on that.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"But if Wayne tells me I am in the backs, then I have to do my job in the backs."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The match will kick off around 7:45pm, with Bennett to confirm his team an hour before that.[/FONT]
 
Maybe an attempt to take pressure off Pearson's debut but I can see it happening as well so not sure.

If this happens I'll be filthy... Winger can't play- replace him with another winger, everyone else stay where you are... Winning... No, lets shuffle the forwards and backs around again to cover the winger...

I wonder how big he'll get later in his career. Alot of players get bigger and bigger. Can't be good for a guy like him who relies on speed and agility.
 
I can see Oates coming back strong tonight - he will run over the top of French.

If we don't plan our game around getting Oates one on one with French than the coaches and playmakers have rocks in their heads.

I wish I was that fat.

He's fat the same way Joey was fat...


Who is confident tonight? Saw the 2008 replay on Fox a little while ago - pumped up for a win now. Want to see some SUPPORT play...the thing the Broncos used to be famous for.

The difference is that you aren't being paid to be an NRL player, he looks like a bloke you'd see down at the pub on a Sunday arvo watching the footy, not a professional athlete.

Needs to do some serious work on his body in the off-season, might be the reason he's constantly drifting in and out of games and having a fraction of the impact he was last year.

Welp put some money on the eels then.
