Round 3 - Titans vs Broncos - Build Up Thread

[ningnangnong]

Nothing better than dishing out a shellacking to the Titans. :mrgreen:

 

[Kimlo]

With Hodges and Hannant back(Copley and Beale out) I can see us going very well if we hold the damn ball.

A Titans thrashing would be really awesome.

Anderson any chance?

Last years 2 games against the Titans were probably amongst our best, hopefully that trend continues.

Looks good to me. Would probably swap Gillett and Glenn as I tought Gillett looked very good tonight, but then again Glenn did too so either option wouldn't have me complaining.

Te'o to start over Glenn.

 

[shaneomac]

they said torn calf on anderson i would have said 50/50 with a strain but a tear would have to assume hes not there next week.

we played better once it was back to macca on the field tonight. time to get rid of ben hunt all together. i hope hook has enough intelligence to see that

I really didn't think Gillett was that great, still doesn't seem to be running the right lines, always flat-footed and defence isn't as strong IMO.

I think he's a weapon, and to bring him off the bench would be a great luxury.

Te'o to start over Glenn.

Normally I'd agree but Glenn deserves to stay there after tonight.

Ideally, Te'o will come good and our bench will be...

14. Glenn
15. Gillett
16. McGuire
17. Anderson

At full strength.

The problem I have with Te'o starting over Glenn is the balance of the side.
McDummy could go well playing the full 80, but there will be some games he would need a rest or has an off night. I can't picture Te'o playing too much dummy half. And you don't want to shift Glenn from backrower after doing a heaps of tackling to the hooker role

 

[Mister Wright]

I'm 5th row in the Broncos supporters section. Can't wait! I think it will be a fantastic game, certainly hope Hannant and Hodges are back.

 

[pennywisealfie]

my fave game of the year. everyone to the away supporters bay!!!

 

[Jeba]

I'll be there!!

 

[Fozz]

Hm...I think I might get myself a ticket after all.

I think Glenn was great last night and should certainly keep starting in the back row. There must be a reason Te'o is starting on the bench so I think he needs to earn his starting spot back.

Agreed. I think Te'o has been disappointing in the first 2 rounds considering how well he played last season. Every now and then you get a player who has a ripper season a couple of years into his career and then he goes back to mediocrity, I hope Te'o doesn't go down that path.

It seems like he wasn't very good through the off season as well. I have no proof of this though.

In the trial I watched at Redcliffe he was very good in the first 20 minutes or so after he came on but then took a bit of a back seat after that. But I'd put that down to Hook trying out all the combinations etc.

What pissed me off last night was when he gave away the penalty for throwing the ball away. He should know better than that.
