Round 4 - Broncos vs. Storm - Pre-Match Discussion

[noisetheory]

would be very surprised if theres any real changes. might see hunt left off the bench again.

very surprised is probably an understatement.

i dont know if theres really any better options available. for me though wallace wouldnt be in the halves and reed wouldnt be in the centres. thaiday would go back to the edges.. although i dont know if its the game to play some raw faces..

 

[Alec]

I do because unless these players are going to improve the side then we might as well roll with our best 17.

At this stage, Norman gets to keep his spot.

Are we talking about the same Norman? The ordinary player who has no impact on how we go and is leaving at the end of the year? Having Bond there isn't going to make it any worse than it is now.

I don't care if Hunt is left off the bench but I don't want to see the 4 position shuffle again. Either name Hodges at fullback or keep him in the centres all match.

just worried about hodges legs if he plays a full game at fb. if we pretend thats not an issue i'd love to see him have a go starting there.

leaves us pretty short in the backline, someone like berryman would have to come onto wing, but it would mean hoffman could play in the centres, yes!

Norman at least looks on the level.

Bond is a mystery box.

Making unnecessary changes isn't going to solve anything.

It could change it for the better, but we'll never know since we are perfectly OK with mediocrity.

 

[Big Pete]

Hodges back.

Dodds out because he cost us the game.
Lui in.

Alec - At this stage, Bond doesn't deserve his spot.

At least Norman has shown some positive signs, he deserves more time.

 

[noisetheory]

Dodds out because he cost us the game.

if that was actually the case then our halves should both be dropped. they were the ones that cost us the game.

 

[Alec]

Dodds dropped because of Thaiday's comments?

 

[Big Pete]

Mitchell Dodds - Ruptured feelings - Available Round 5 pending apology

 

[Alec]

I guess we are lucky that Thaiday has been playing such high quality footy.

 

[Old Mate]

**** there's a lot to hate about our side at the moment.

 

[IBA]

Still better than supporting one of the other teams...

 

[Coxy]

Same side. What was that saying of Bennett's? "If you always do what you always did, you'll always get what you always got?"

Expect another insipid attacking effort.

 

[noisetheory]

its going to be a slaughter.

 

[Kimlo]

The blind optimist in me is thinking this game will be close because the boys will fire up for the challenge and produce by far their best game to date.

The realist in me says we will get destroyed.

 

[Coxy]

We will scramble well. We'll make it tough for the Storm to run away with the game. But we'll never look like winning it. Final score will be 28-6.
