Round 24 - Panthers vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[winslow_wong]

I just think we aren't agressive/ruthless enough. Our defense line is very passive. When was the last time a bronco put on a massive hit? Probably ben teo.
All we do now is hold them up for a dance then the third man in will tackle the legs. Yeah technically it may be effective but theres no intimidation

Yeah be nice to have a Peter Ryan/Tonie Carol/Tallis in the squad, someone who opposition were scared to run at.

I could be wrong here but when i watch us we seem to only have 1 gear when we play, even at the start of a game. I remember one semi from a few years back where Ashton Sims and Nick Kenny of all people were absolutely smashing anything that moved and paved the way to a win, from memory against St George.

i've never really seen us lift as if we have blood in the nostrils for a very long time.

Interested to see Jarrod Wallace have another crack tonight. I reckon he had a decent go the last couple of games he's played. I hope he get's the same or more game time than Lui.

Tasi will have to have a big game off the bench.

 

[Brad Miers]

Anderson will play tonight. Has been very good in Q Cup. Need Hook to pull a swiftie and put Glenn in the centres and Lui to Q Cup for some much needed match fitness.

Last time he only got about 5 minutes right at the end...and didn't make a single run. I do hope Griffindor uses him more too, but he'll undoubtedly save 1 forward for the last 5-10 minutes again for whatever reason, and it's likely going to be Wallace.

Is Lui there for impact? He's like a Nick Kenny version of Sam Thaiday.

Where's Hala? At least Hala could bend the line for 1 or 2 hitups before being stretchered off.

 

[Big Pete]

It's the Wayne Bennett method of blooding players, although I think it's utterly useless on a player like J. Wallace who's fairly limited in what he can do. Right now, he's a poor man's version of Tasi, and Tasi isn't exactly a million dollars himself.

Sanderson scored the equaliser last week for Norths and should provide more than Wallace.

NRL.com says he's gone for the season with a shoulder injury back in Round 19.

That all comes about when you have something to play for, the aim is the premiership and anyone in your way gets dispatched.

The confidence and belief has to be instilled throughout the season, you have to know you have the team, tactics and gameplan to make it.

 

[subsbligh]

I'd love to see a 100 metre sprint between Hala and George Rose.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Put Thaiday in there, he had a hard enough time making a metre last year.

 

[pagey]

Hala by 20 I reckon

Wheres Owen Craigie at these days?

I think Ian Lacey ate him.
