PRE-GAME [Round 3, 2024] Broncos vs Panthers

[1910]

I'm hoping to see Willison this game, I would bring him for Taupau on the bench.

He's been with the opposition all week and subbed in in the middle for a little bit but he's also had to stay back to do extra fitness with Hunt.

 

[FACTHUNT]

Haas ruled out apparently. Willison gets his go.

It’s the expense for the greater good. Rest up and hopefully Willison won’t lose his spot again. Both middles are now dogshit.

Ok BHQ, I know Willison has been massively hyped this year ... But remember, he is still a rookie, so is if he doesn't replicate Payne's stats, please go easy on him

Baker is better than you think .
He had surgery during pre season . He will continue to improve . Did you not notice the speed of his PTB last week or his offload ?

His PTB will help things happen on the next cpl of plays .
He is hard to put on the ground and gets fast PTBs .

Him and Baker can speed up the Broncos ruck if they are allowed .

 

[Manofoneway]

I don't like this. If we beat Penrith it will be a miracle.

 

[Jedhead]

A nice early season test of our depth for 2024.

Keep in mind this team is still coming together and working on new combinations.

If we can improve even our ball retention from last week we will be in with a chance. Please, no further injuries though.

Walters confirms Payne Haas won’t play. Will consult specialist, as he’s currently playing with knee pain. MRI scan shows no issue, with surgery unlikely at the moment. Time frame for return to play TBC.

IDK seems concerning IMO

 

[Footy Fanatic]

We will still win this.

 

[Fernando]

We're gonna get pumped

Yeah. His stats have been good but the opening 2 games have been 2 of least impactful of hos career.

 

[Santa]

Easy win.

 

[Super Freak]

Yep. It's going to be a long night for the Broncos.

 

[Battler]

Riff are also without JFH and are looking a bit off compared to last year. We still have guns across the park, namely Walsh. We just need Marty, baker, hetho to come ready to put in that extra 10-20% to cover Payne’s meters.

I’m excited to see Willison in this game. I reckon he’ll be fired up.

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Yep. It's going to be a long night for the Broncos.

Panthers*

Anything short of 250 run metres, 25 tackles and no misses, 5 offloads and 80 minutes played then I’m off him and he needs to be cut immediately
