Surely Glenn won't have anything to answer for, right?

Yeah no shit, half of the time the players touch referees is because they're literally just in the way.

Opacic 3 trys as well. New week 1910.

Haha didnt hodgo mask how crap macca really is at hooker..May as well play lock with the amount of defence he does..think he forgets hes supposed to be the attacker too. And really more attack than defence.
1 boyd 2 eden 3 roberts 4 kahu 5 opacic.
Id say this week. Hoping for a switch of centres for jimmy even thou he looked to be getting better. He made more runs even looked close to scoring.

Macca has been great this year, even his haters agree. This is absurd.

mate i enjoy some good insider rumour/innuendo as much as anyone (bar faithy) but some of this is getting just a little borderline..

He has no idea Sus.

New week; so whichever player scores tries on the weekend that's the player your sources will tell you will be in the Broncos' side the next week.

Insightful.

At least we no longer have to wait for his latest tip, we can just check the results in the paper.

In the scheme of things, the only thing that matters in Rugby League is improvement on your performance last week.

Psychologically, someone nailed it early on. We're almost disinterested in the first 26 rounds + 3 finals games + 75 minutes of a grand final and just wanting to test ourselves again in those championship minutes...

I mean, where else could have we improved in day to day, round to round, game to game performances?

The odds of a Cowboys/Broncos grand final in 2016 I think are very tasty, especially given the piss poor performances of some of the other contenders so far in 2016.

Unless Hunt has been building to this as a mental redemption since 5 October 2015.

I know it felt that way for the opening rounds of 2009 and when we beat the Storm 14-12.

...what a game that was too.. When the Broncos ran with depth (look a those crisp almost cross field passes) and the Storm went out to maim the opposition in every tackle.

 

[Super Freak]

Hmm..

These highlights just show Wallace wasn't always garbage..

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Origin ruined him.

 

[Super Freak]

Reed out.

Got surgery to repair a damaged retina. Expected to only miss 1 game.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Jack Reed being out is a big blow. This is going to be a ripping match.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Kahu will be just as good in the left centre. So i dont see Reed being a big out. Kahu is better than Reed. Im sure Opacic will do well enough on the wing if we pass it right.

Injury Update - Jack Reed - Broncos

JACK Reed has today undergone a minor procedure on his eye after suffering a bad knock against the Penrith Panthers on Saturday night.

Reed left the field with blurred vision in the second half of the game after taking some contact in a tackle.

After seeing a doctor this morning he underwent surgery to repair a damaged retina.

The prognosis was positive, with Reed only expected to miss one match because of the injury.

“After consulting the doctor Jack had immediate surgery on a damaged retina,” said Broncos’ High Performance Manager Jeremy Hickmans.

“Although it sounds dramatic and anything with the eye is serious, it was fairly good news.

“It should repair quickly now and he should only miss one match because of the eye injury.”

Meanwhile, two Penrith players have been charged out of the match that was won 23-22 by the Panthers.

Lock Jeremy Latimore will face a week’s suspension unless he can beat a dangerous contact (head/neck) charge for an incident with Broncos’ winger Greg Eden.

Panthers prop Sam McKendry will get off with an early guilty plea for a high tackle on Josh McGuire.

Knight Sione Mata’utia faces a week for a dangerous throw as does Tiger Chris Lawrence, while Rabbitoh Paul Carter could do a week for a dangerous contact.

Eels’ captain Kieran Foran will beat a ban with an early guilty plea for contact with the referee, while Rabbitoh Kirisome Auva’a will also be free to play with an early plea on a dangerous contact charge.

Option A) Kahu to left centre, Maranta/Opacic/Seve to wing
Option B) Opacic/Seve to left centre

Which would you guys prefer? I think I'd rather keep Kahu on the right wing if possible, the Roberts & Kahu combination needs to grow ASAP, and switching Jordy every few weeks isn't going to help that.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

A..also think this line up will be the better one. Kahu over Reed in centres for mine anyway. Seve or Opacic to do well enough to keep Reed out. As will Eden until Oates returns.

So when all fit and healthy i select
2 Oates 3 Kahu 4 Roberts 5 banking on Opacic/Seve to fill this role.
