Probably Sailor comes in, wouldn't be against Rogers too if Reyno is out, Madden has been very uninspiring.

 

[Santa]

Omg I actually feel bad for the Cowboys. We are gonna be out for revenge after that game.

Broncos 1,000,000 - Cowboys 0

 

[Battler]

If there’s no structural damage to Walsh (and we would’ve surely heard if there was by now) then surely he’s right to go for this.

I’d be dropping baker for hunt and possibly Walters for Mozer as well.

 

[Mustafur]

Rogers is a Left sided half right? @1910 @Big Pete

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Are we done with this ridiculous Walters/Smoothy experiment yet?

Reyno and Walsh to play or we are in trouble again

baker can’t be picked for this game based on his performance tonight.

Was horrible in r1 as well. He’s gotta go

IMO cobbo is very athletic but not very footy smart, waters had a quiet game but not that bad to be dumped, but I definitely don't want two hookers in 17 for sure, there must be a spine back up there!

1' Walsh
2' arthars
3' staggers
4' cobbo
5' mariner
6' mam
7' maden
8' Jensen
9' waters
10' Baker's
11' Riki
12' Piakiria
13' Carrigan

14' Herrington
15' Willison
16' Taupau/Hunt
17' Tailor

who's your Tailor?

We’ll lose big Marty for that same knee lifting action so Williston will get more minutes. Baker and to a lesser extent Madden are not Bronco players. Sorry Jock but we’re not expecting much but you needed to show some spark, some threat to give your backline that extra second on the ball. Sure you’re still learning your craft, but there is absolutely no indication for me that you have the nous, skill, and quick thinking mind to be a true spine player in our team.

Billy Walters should be dropped for next week too. Lazy twat.

 

[JayPee]

Good guys by 2. Feldt scoring on the bell and that lovely man Valentine kicking it from the sideline to win then running in jubilent celebration into the crowd and sculling a tooheys light right in front of those feral fans...

There'll be structural damage, for sure. Hopefully only 4-6 weeks.

Not really an experiment given it took us to a grand final...

In saying that, Walters was poor tonight.

I would imagine there will be no Reynolds (certain), Haas (certain), Walsh (likely), Taupau (likely) and let's be honest, Baker and Walters have to be on thin ice too.

So I would honestly go:
1. Cobbo
2. Arthars
3. Staggs
4. Mariner
5. Oates
6. Mam
7. Madden (give him another chance without so many disruptions and without being against Penrith in Penrith)
8. Jensen
9. Smoothy
10. Baker
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Walters
15. Willison
15. Hetherington
17. Sailor

We need a back on the bench or something. Our squad is starting to look thin with all these injuries.

Put Sailor at 1 (if required).

For sure, not argument from me but I do think we need Oates in the team somewhere because, while you don't want him playing long minutes in the forwards, he can play there in spurts and we clearly need that cover.

We didn't have many injuries last year, this year is clearly already different, we need to cover it.

Sailor above Cobbo if fullback, he plays the same style as Walsh so our edge plays will still be on, but I would have Sailor on the bench at 17 regardless if Walsh can play, drop Baker and keep Willison.

Willison can be the Backrow/middle shuffle option, Sailor to come on late as a roaming 13 if no issues in spine.

18th man has to be Oates, we can move Mariner or Arthars to centre if he comes on.
