Round 26 - Broncos vs Panthers

[user_nat]

Prediction for tonight's press conferences -
Both coaches: "Norman was great"

 

[Manifesto]

Wallace was great. First good game in 7 weeks and we win. No coincidence. Corey Norman is the worst five eighth in the NRL. He's an absolute gibberer. All the vision of a blind man.

If I was Andrew gee I'd tear his contract up right now. The kid is absolutely useless.

Couldn't agree more, Norman is one of the worst players to pull on the Broncos jersy. As I have said previously, Hunt has been the catalyst for the good form in the Storm and Dogs game, and I'm sure we would have belted the pathers tonight with him playing the whole game in the halves. Hook WILL pick Norman next week though, I hope I'm proved wrong.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Definitely Wallace's best game for a long time, he wasn't outstanding but he did make some important plays and tackles.

Agreed...he still come up with his standard 1 or 2 or 3 numpty plays but.....

well played Peter.

(lucky to not get pinged for the strip from the short kick off. Totally unnecessary and could have cost us)

 

[Kaz]

I will be disappointed if Hunt doesn't replace Norman next week.

Be prepared to be disappointed.

Here is your disappointed face.

 

[Old Mate]

Norman was shit and Hoffman had so many dumb moments, like he can catch a bomb safe enough but when quick hands are required or thinking he is hopeless.

Would love Reed or Coplay to have a go at fb with Hunt in the 6 and Hoffman and Norman dead.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I honestly don't understand why anyone would suggest Jack Reed to play fullback. I just don't get it.

 

[Bull Shark]

lol, yeah way too slow ... just not a fullback, not by a mile

 

[Huge]

My view. It's not how good you are when your good...it's how good you are when you are bad.....and we won !!!...

Corey Norman wasn't spectacular, not even good but he tried hard and will be better for the run....Funny, some people actually go better when they are encouraged. To my beloved Broncs...I believe

Pace for a fb? Anyone remember Hodges.

Corey Norman tried hard to give Penrith a shot at winning, they got that try off 3 horrible mistakes in a row from Norman + he butchered liked 3-5 tries.

Hunt is far better.

You aren't really comparing Hodges in 2006 with Jack Reed are you. Has Reed ever played fullback?? It is just a hopeless suggestion on your behalf IMO

 

[Kimlo]

Who said Hodges is slow anyway? In 2006 he was certainly one of the fastest in the game, he may look slow but Hodges is no slouch.

 

[Old Mate]

Lol honestly the more you post the stupider you seem.

Righteo then numb nuts.

Reed = Elusive/powerful with the ball
Reed = incredibly safe under the highball and can read kicks great
Reed = put people away

This would allow Copley to play in the centres with Maranta coming in on to the wing and if we HAVE to have Norman in the side he could play centre with Copley on the wing still.

Looks like an improvement to me.

I wouldn't say he was one of the fastest, definitely elusive though.

 

[Kimlo]

I wouldn't say he was one of the fastest, definitely elusive though.

I remember him a few years back making a few linebreaks through out the year and no one could chase him down. I think he's a lot faster than he looks. Haven't really seen him run this year so hard to say if he still has the speed, luckily his style of game doesn't rely on speed.

yeah.....nahhh

 

[Old Mate]

yeah.....nahhh

Yeah but you love the Hoff/Norman and want to kill our best half.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I doubt Reed has every even played fullback but yeah lets put him there when we have much better option. Seriously someone has no clue at all. Gotta laugh when people make idiotic suggestions and actually believe they are right. :loool:
