PRE-GAME Round 4 - Broncos vs Roosters

[Stix]

Radley is actually set to miss next week.

I read he will have a few carry over points.

Ordinarily he would get off, but since he has carry over points, he'll just be above the threshold.

Yeah gotcha. Thanks, this makes me feel a little bit better! Lol

TPJ - Suspended
Glenn - Injured
Fifita - Injured

We have constantly had 3+ players from our first 17 just go missing for the longest time.

Literally can't remember the last time we had our strongest 17 on the field.

Like never, coz both Macca and Boyd used to be in top 17 till this round

You could add Milford, Oates and Boyd also go missing too. Our whole back line is pretty much non existent at times

[Allo]

1. Isaako
2. Herbie/Coates
3. Arthars
4. Boyd
5. Coates/Herbie (whichever side suits who)
6. Milford
7. Croft
8. Lodge
9. Turpin
10. Haas
11. Bullemor
12. Hopoate
13. Carrigan

14. Paix
15. Flegler
16. Kennedy
17. Offa/Oates - one of them deserve to sit out and consider their attitude and if they really want to be out there playing

that 11 & 12 is terrifying. The Roosters will be sending Cordner and Crichton at Milf and Croft all night long (more than they usually would anyway)

Things I want to see next week:

1. Forwards running wider from the ruck in pairs, no starting at the A defender then trying to run around the rushing defence ffs

2. Turpin getting out and engaging the markers creating space for the forwards

3. Line speed and Aggression in defence

This is local club footy standard shit and we couldn’t even do that last night

THIS. This says it all. ALL the top teams who won well did, and do this: forward shapes (no constant one-out running) , hooker engaging the line, aggressive defence with good line speed.

No individual player is going to get us up into the winner's circle. To expect Fifi and TPJ to carry us into the finals is a wet dream. This is a team game, not a show case for individual talent. We showed glimpses of good team play in rounds 1 and 2. Time to return to that and build on it.

Is Bullemor a 2nd rower or more of a middle forward?

 

[1910]

Is Bullemor a 2nd rower or more of a middle forward?

I think second row, Norths started him twice last year at prop and I thought it took away his edge. His best games have been second row and off the bench.

His impact was a lot less, he is too smart and reacts to situations too quick to be a up and down prop. He is quick and powerful. He's good backing up the middle like he did against Townsville and chasing kicks like Souths. I like him coming on all over the place he's been great doing it for Norths. He's on both sides and taking advantage of his instincts and speed which are his best assets.

Roosters are fighting the Radley charge.....what could their argument possibly be? It was clearly a dangerous tackle. Hold on, we are about to get fucked hard.

The whole lineup is terrifying. The lack of experience will ensure that victories will be hard to come by not helped by persistent injuries and suspension. This team needs all hands on deck for it to be reasonably successful. On one hand, it's good to see rookies gaining experience as they will be invaluable for club in a few years time but as far as short term success, there is going to be very little of that.

Of course he’ll get off, Uncle Nick demands it.

He’ll get suspended but they’ll get an exemption to bring Cronk and sbw back

I just don't understand what their argument could possibly be? Are they going to claim he never went further than horizontal?

I hear Tesi was also training out the back today. Could be some interesting changes this week.
