Time to put these ***** to bed. Broncos by 52

 

[Fozz]

Let's roast some Eel

Please nothing bad injury wise from today.

Piakura almost has to start even with Riki returning.

 

[Kimlo]

By right we should demolish them, they're well out of form.

Capewell will need to be used in a more creative way to allow Piakura more game time.

 

[Santa]

Might have some injuries, but that's not gonna stop us from getting revenge!

Expect a big effort before the bye.

Broncos 58 - Eels 0

I reckon he will be jag a bench spot. Picking the team this week will be a real tough one

 

[LittleDavey]

Revenge is a dish best served at 8pm Friday night at the Gabba...

Piakura was benched because he was out on his feet. Recovering from illness. He wouldnhave played 80 if he could

 

[I bleed Maroon]

End 2 seasons in a row? I'm down for that.

 

[Sproj]

Let's say Herbie, Jesse and Ezra are out but Riki, Hetherington and Oates back, I'd go (and note, it is likely our 2024 backline):

1. Walsh
2. Oates
3. Staggs
4. Cobbo
5. Mariner
6. Sailor
7. Reynolds
8. Flegler
9. Walters
10. Haas
11. Capewell
12. Piakura
13. Carrigan

14. Smoothy
15. Hetherington
16. Jensen
17. Riki

 

[Midean]

Put these clowns out of their misery.

 

[Renegade]

Yeah this is/should be a banker.

If Ezra has a genuine injury that 2 weeks off would genuinely help then rest him but if it’s just a case of late season niggles we have the bye round a week later so he can have a rest than. And I know we might love to beat Melbourne rd 25 but potentially resting that game would be more ideal than having a crack at the minor premiership.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

There's my final ladder. First a hardy congratulations to the Warriors who will not only play finals, but may very well take out a top 4 spot.

It's gonna be very entertaining watching all the NSW bandwagoners swallow their pride and fall in lockstep behind the Pennies banner. Newcastle are in for a big surge, Canberra and Cows will barely make it. As it is, the minor premiership will be decided in Round 27, Penrith vs. Cowboys and Broncos vs Storm. One team wins, one team loses and it's gg.

Piakura has shown his qualities but Riki has developed into a more complete player with his kick pressure and the like.

It depends what game we want to play. All-out offence? Peeks for sure. Anything else - Riki deserves his spot. His kick chase pressure has been noticeably absent. It's a good headache for Kev to have and allows a bit of flexibility really.
