Round 23 - Bulldogs vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Mr Fourex]

I don't see the value of Wallace off the bench. I suppose he takes enough hit ups to play as a backrower but he doesn't really make the meters.

Lol.......no, not exactly the metre eater is ole Pete.

Still, as a utility he might be useful in giving either Hunt, McC or Norman a breather......

Limit Wallace's involvement is the key to going forward.

 

[The Brizz]

Wallace should be carrying the water for Redcliffe.

Wallace should be carrying the water for Redcliffe.

He's lack of organisational skill makes me doubt whether he's up to the task..........someone may go thirsty

Pete himself could get thirsty and hog the water for himself

Too risky......

 

[The Brizz]

He could inadvertantly fill the bottles with hot water or HP Sauce or something also, you are right far too much responsibility for Pete!

Glenn out for 4 weeks and Parker out for at least 2 weeks according to twitter

Four weeks for Glenn ay... damn! Massive blow.

 

[Bull Shark]

can't wait to see what the line is for this match .. I'd peg it at Bulldogs -18 ...

 

[noisetheory]

lets all put $100 on the doggies winning?

this is bound to cause a broncs win.

 

[Bull Shark]

Bulldogs -5.5 ... back up the truck ..

Let's hope Hook realizes that 2012 is gone and tries something new to prepare for 2013

In fairness, we've been hoping he will make a change and he did just that against Canberra with a Hunt/Wallace halves pairing

I just hope he continues trying some stuff coz what we got aint working

while reality suggests strongly that the broncos are dead in the water, whilst ever there is a mathematical chance of winning the premiership a coach is duty bound to keep swinging until the bitter end ..

there's no way the broncos will be experimenting ..

 

[noisetheory]

as if you seriously want the team to admit the season is gone.

 

[Alec]

Yeah, I don't understand how people can just give up. Sure, everything is stacked against us. In 2006, we were in the exact same position, it was only 4 rounds from the finals when the team grouped together and put in a great performance against Melbourne (even though we lost). Afterwards, we only lost to the Dragons. I go into every game thinking we are a shot of winning.

This!

There's no other way to support your club IMO.

Hodges is back and Hunt will start. That's all I know

[IBA]

Norman is worthless on the bench. If you're going to make changes, go all out. Baptiste on the bench is a much, much smarter move IMO. I'd also take anyone over Lui on the bench... J Wallace, Whitchurch...

Having centres in the centres is making me feel a lot better though.
