POST GAME [Round 3, 2022] Broncos vs Cowboys

[theshed]

Wonder if we can offer Staggs to the Dolphins at full freight and re-sign Herbie

 

[BroncsFan]

I wonder if Cobbs is experiencing a double whammy of post-Covid effects and second year syndrome.

With Cobbo I think Kevvie can justify sending him back to ISC for a couple weeks... you can sell it that we bought depth this year knowing we had young guys in the squad and we didn't want to burn them out early.

If he goes back to Wynnum they probably play him at fullback so we get the opportunity to let him play a few weeks back there.

Kevvie will cop a lot of heat for doing it, but I think it's easier to sell to the media.

Dropping Staggs feels like an impossible sell to the media... outside of saying he's got a minor injury and we wanted to give him a week off

They wont be able to afford him when they get Grant, Munster, JT13, Haas and Walker.

 

[Stinger]

I wasn’t sold on Niu since his first game and nothing he’s done since then has changed my view. We’ve had some dumb footballers in recent times but he really takes top spot in that department.

Yes indeed. He may have a great step and evasiveness, but he is not smart enough yet (he's not alone in this team. eg. love Cobbo, but not there yet clearly). For example Nui, - hit the F'ing ground when getting out of your own ingoal, instead of standing tall and getting smashed and dragged back into it, Isaako style. Yeah sure, Nui even has a try assist or two in him, but at this stage, the broncs need a capable fullback. Not just one with good potential.

But do we move our best back at the moment - Herbie - to fullback? I reckon he would make a real fist of it. Then bring Brenko in at centre. Staggs? F me, what happened to him? Always been sus at defence, but FMD, I was not expecting that poor performance. Please, Perrera in for Cobbo next round too.

Hass, Herbie, and Carrigan were our standouts (did I miss someone?). Carrigan - I don't love him at lock (at present), but mark these words: he is a future Queensland captain. Even Australian captain, and his rougher partner in crime that will join him on the journey to Queensland/Australian stardom will be the Flegler.

Very interested indeed as to what the team list for the warriors game will be...
Flegs back. Who do you drop? James? More Jensen for me, please.

Turps was a fav of mine two (?) seasons back. When we didn't have any halfbacks and he stood in there. What happened? Love him, but struth, please bring on Walters earlier/or replace turps. We really need more than just a tacklebot.

 

[BroncsFan]

History has proven that they won't play that way every week. They seem to go through an unbeatable period every year only to finish in the bottom four.

Probably more suggesting that they beat a lot of teams with the way they turned up this week... whether they can keep doing it is another question

I know you love the Dolphins mate but Haas is going to the Roosters, everyone knows that.

Haas is staying. Kevvie is offering him five-eighth.

I don’t even think Niu has that good of a step or is that evasive. I can only think of very few occasions when he beat defenders. At least Isaako had that

If you want to pinpoint exactly what Turps is lacking, watch Granville.

They have a more powerful weapon than SBW and Uncle Nick

 

[nopatience101]

This is textbook 101 for those with no patience.

Kevvie doesn’t exactly exude confidence.

 

[Sproj]

Or pretty much any other 9/14 in the comp.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Put him at fullback, wouldn't crumble under the bomb, would make it out of ingoal and make better kick returns.

I know, I just wanted to do a play on your name.

You're underselling Tesi.

He scored 8 tries from 16 games last year.
Jamayne scored 6 from 18.
Jesse scored 5 from 11.
David Mead scored 5 from 12.
Herbie scored 3 from 20.

He doesn’t even try deception. Just faces exactly where he’s going to pass then slowly shovels it over.

If I haven’t accepted your amount of tries as the key measurement yet, why do you think I would now?

You could almost argue he's worse than McCullough at this point, and that's quite a statement.
