Round 3 - Broncos vs. Roosters - Build Up Thread

[IBA]

agree on kemp. admittedly i havent seen much of him this year but we need the pace on the wing. kemp can find the try line too.

hoffman looks like he's enjoying in the wing. which is good to see. its going well for him

There was a moment in the Q Cup game when Kemp chased a pretty standard 5th tackle kick from within Redcliffe's own half, Kemp go there first, before the defenders, got the boot to it and almost scored. It really made me miss that crazy speed he has. His defence was excellent also and his runs were hard at the line. I'd take him over Maranta in a second. For me, Maranta is a solid with no x factor and had a very average return game last Friday.

no kemp this week

he is named for hte dolphins, as is hala, berryman, and bond.

 

[Big Pete]

Hodges named for Broncos.

Slyney and Lui on extended bench.

 

[noisetheory]

Side has been named.

They have named Hodges. hmm.

Lui and Slyney on extended bench..

 

[subsbligh]

Hodges coming back early from hamstring injury. Sounds like history repeating a shit sandwich

 

[Kimlo]

Interesting that Hodges has been named, looks like he just went off last week as a precaution. We definitely need Hodges as much as possible this year, he's our most dangerous player.

 

[Coxy]

I'll eat my hat if Hodges plays.

 

[Kimlo]

Why would he name him then? If there was doubt they'd probably not name him and have him as a late inclusion.

 

[noisetheory]

ignoring arguments over their abilities..

i am glad that the backline isnt being messed around with, and both norman and hoffman, as well as the halves, are being allowed the time to get used to their "new" positions. consistency is important.

I will supply sauce and salt and pepper in return for the rights to video tape it. :001_tt2:

 

[lynx000]

Re the team, I think there is too much risk in naming Hodges, I would have liked to see him at least try Hoffman in the centres and Kemp on the wing.

Damn, you took the words right out my keyboard. I will sponsor the video in return for broacasting rights though! :winky:

 

[Bucking Beads]

Same old story from last year. Play a backrower in the centres

 

[Broncoman]

At the amart all sports in Queen Street they have Broncos jerseys for sale alongside the team they are playing as you enter. When I went in today they had Cowboys jerseys next to the Broncos ones and I had to tell them they were playing the Roosters and the Cowboys are next week. Sad when an 18 year old customer outsmarts the whole staff.

 

[Son Edo]

I can't wait to read the league week tomorrow and see our stats against the Roosters.

Griffin joining the Tim Sheens/Brian Smith school of naming players who are no chance which totally bamboozles the opposition coach.
