PRE-GAME Round 25 - Storm vs Broncos

[broncsgoat]

My heart rate has just dipped below 100 for the first time since we played Melbourne in Melbourne last year. Was the tensest game I can remember, ever.

Storm spluttering and us finding form has me cautiously confident, however I believe Melbourne will definitely be up for it so it's going to be an absolute belter.

Storm will definitely be up for it.

Bellamy makes sure of it when he goes up against Bennett.

I was at this game last year and what a day that was!

 

[Unbreakable]

So with Roberts likely missing this one, we should get another look at Pearson.

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Opacic
4. Kahu
5. Pearson
6. Milford
7. Hunt
8. McGuire
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. Parker (c)

14. Wallace
15. Pangai Junior
16. Glenn
17. Nikorima

 

[Dash]

For sure, but it's not a long term option, he's too good to be a bench player, and we need bigger bodies than that on the bench for next season.

I think he's perfect for the bench. We'd have 2 props, Glenn and a utility (Nikorima or otherwise). Someone's got to give the back rowers/lock a rest. He also provides better back line cover than Nikorima.

He played in the middle last night when he came on - maybe Wayne might give him first shot at Corey's spot next year but looks like it's sitting on the pine for the rest of this year

 

[Stix]

As cool as that was last night and as much as we have improved I think we'll get found out in this one. I reckon there's still a fair gap between were we are and where the Storm are. I hope we smash the pricks but I can't see it.

Can see more of the same from the Storm in this game. Cronk will bomb our wingers so their fijian duo can out jump us. Only difference is this game they won't be up against knik on the wing. Hopefully Kahu and Oates hold their own.

 

[Super Freak]

Well at least we won't have to see Koroibete destroy Maranta repeatedly.

If Roberts is out, you never know...

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Well, let's see if Vanlvvuvlvuvuvtllulu can score three against a real winger rather than a substitute hooker....

 

[GCBRONCO]

Scored 4 in one half already, Storm look like they are back and typical just before we play them :rolleyes:

Doing a job on Taufua lol

 

[Stix]

Manly are rubbish, but things aren't looking too good for us next week

 

[Super Freak]

We aren't as weak defensively, we are better in attack.

Storm won't be going up against a garbage side next week.

I hope Nikorima plays instead of Arrow. Arrow is useless atm, especially in his "we have a 4th forward on the bench so lets give him some token minutes" role.

Niko would be hoping to play anyone BUT Melbourne I would imagine, I reckon he's still having nightmares about that big Fijian winger running at him at 100 mph

We could certainly use his zip out of dummyhalf.
