PRE-GAME Round 4 - Broncos vs Cowboys

[Battler]

Handing the Cows a thumping would make Saturday's disgraceful display easier to swallow. Make sure Thurston and Morgan know they're in a contest in defence (Beau Scott style).

 

[Cult]

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.

This isn't going to happen

Wheres your faith?

 

[Brett]

Just win ffs

It's a done deal now. Thank you!

Since we are experimenting with Kodi, I think I would rather have him in a roving role or 3rd half. He looked very dangerous in backline movements in the club challenge and I just think that's how we are going to get more out of him since he has been quite frankly ineffective after 3 rounds.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Very interesting. Re Kodi, Macca, Parker 3 players off contract this yr and next.

 

[broncoboy]

Hmm..

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

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

how can origin ruin someone ?

 

[Browny]

Origin ruined many NSW halves as they tried to get a good combo to beat the dynasty. When they failed the NSW media savaged them and destroyed their confidence and self belief

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Am i that stupid??? I see others agree. Maybe even Wayne agrees. Does it look like this is happening?

R.I.P Grammar.

Hi D. Sorry for not catching up for a while as have not been submitting any postings or even reading threads other then Freakie's tipping comp as been concentrating hard on doin well an winning hopefully. Be interested to hear your thought though if Carlin maybe a chance to be IN team this week ? Surely better then Eden ?

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.

i have never been a big fan of mcculloch and i think he lacks real creativity and zip from dummy half. however you cant blame him for what unfolded last week.
im a little confused about your post, your effectively saying he tackles too much for a hooker?? im not sure of the stats but i would nearly hazard a guess and suggest most hookers would neqrly lead the tackle count each week if not be in the top 3.
as for his attack, if the pigs in the middle are getting over the ad line then that would give him more room from dumny half to roll forward, but lets just think about that. would you prefer the ball in maccas hands ball playing or in hunt/milford?? no brainer for me.

'A rival sports journalist' - this phrase implies you are a sports journalist, which you are not.

 

[Super Freak]

Out of the top 10 last year for amount of tackles made, 6 of them were hookers.

 

[Wolfie]

I thought we suffered big time when Macca moved from hooker against penrith . Nikorima was pretty poor.

Macca was the leading tackler in the comp last year for all players.

Yea new role its a work in progress. More time equals more experience.

Might be something else he has to work on. Seve and Opacic are ahead at the moment.

 

[Unbreakable]

McCullough lead the league in tackles made last season and we had the best defence in the league last season..

"Hey Andrew stop making so many tackles please"
