PRE-GAME [Round 24, 2023] Broncos vs Eels

[McHunt]

I wonder if Taupau will even make it back into the team once his suspension is done...

Not unless we have injuries. Or Kevvie wants to rest someone against the Storm - which he insists he won't (but...).

Yea, I mean I wouldn't know who to drop for him now either. It's too bad, he was playing really well before his suspension.

Insane to see how good palasia has gone in the last few weeks. I remember when patty was suspended he played some lock and looked terrible. He's come such a long way in 12 months. What a buy for the titans.

Personally I never understood the Palasia hate. Even in 22 he was doing alot of ball playing and I liked the variety he brought to our pack. My one criticism was that he never ran hard and bent the line but he's got that covered lately.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

The question is… Can Palasia pull a DCE on the Tits? Is it too late?
Coz if he stayed, all of a sudden that $1.1M dollar “rejected offer” would seem a lot more generous….

It's always been known he's a better starter than bench and when you only get 20-25 mins a week it's not setting you up to play your best. He's just finally started to bring starting form off the bench

It's probably also no coincidence that he's about to hit 50 NRL games as well

Maybe unpopular but given Flegler's upcoming defection, his recent average form, his propensity for giving away penalties / sin bins and the depth in the forwards, I wouldn't mind seeing Jensen picked over him.

I don't think you lose much upside but you eliminate most of the downside and are building around a player who will be part of our team into the future.

I get the same feeling about Flegler ever since he signed up with Bennett. He does his work (which also includes the at least 3 penalties/drop balls per game) but otherwise just going through the motions.

Unlike Herbie still competing for us, I wouldn’t mind having him dropped unless we’re desperate for reserves. His bone-head plays might really cost us especially if it’s a semi final/grand final game.

TL:DR - drop the him like a Sims brother playing the ball!

He's also nearing 27 which is golden years for props.

I totally forgot Marty. Great sign. I would expect him to be back though - I think Kevvie values his experience.

Jensen is not going to intimidate any one with a big hit or skip through the line like Thomas can .

Jensen is very good at the basics , doesn`t have the X factor Flegler does .

Willison will play more minutes than Jensen next season if he stays fit .

 

[Alex Wingnut]

A lot of cobbos ones are because Staggs already came flying up and did nothing. Both are useless.

Staggs has made the most 1 on 1 tackles out of any backline player in the whole nrl for the second year in a row and saved 3 tries against the Cows alone. (2 on Feldt and 1 on Muzz)

His timing is very rarely off when it comes to his reads, has quite easily been our the best defender in our backline the last 2 years and it still seems like Broncos fans don't pay enough attention to realize that.

 

[Swordfish]

Don’t want that below average footy player in Cartwright do away with those dubious offloads to his center/wing. Shut him down the moment he touches the ball. With Arthur’s being out, I reckon our left will be targeted a lot so our left edge has to be on game 100%.

This is the game where we suck everything out of those Eel grubs and deny them any chance of playing finals. Smash them, bash them & humiliate them.

 

[McHunt]

Smash them, bash them & humiliate them.

Title of your GF's sex tape?

 

[Swordfish]

Want some? Even if I send you those sex tapes, It’s way too late for you mate. Even a truck load of viagra pills can’t do shit for your rotten dick. So, don’t bother about any of those ideas.
Instead, fantasize some journo stories and masturbate yourself if you can.

calm blue ocean, swordfish

 

[Waynesaurus]

I think Jensen has been unlucky, he hasn't really had consistent time in the team and on the field to build some form.

We've seen what extended game time has done for Piakura.

 

[Sanjit Joseph]

I think Marty comes straight back for Palasia. Will come in for experience
