PRE-GAME Round 4 - Broncos vs Titans

[talanoa]

Broncos have two all ins a year and yesterday was the first one. Few were asked about the cricket but interesting a few were asked about Haas and said he's ready.

I think they're jumping the gun having watched his last three games.

i agree, i think he is still a bit off yet.

McCullough is our leader. He gives everything he’s got every single game

Imagine if Milford had McCullough's heart and work ethic, we'd have the best player in the world.

 

[Unbreakable]

Unsurprising, Cartwright isn't very good. I'd be expecting this forward pack named this arvo -

8. Wallace
9. Peats
10. Latu
11. James
12. Proctor
13. Arrow

14. Rein
15. Cartwright
16. Boyle
17. King

My fear about this game is that we still seem (and have been for the last couple of years) to be happy dropping our intensity and only playing at the same level as our opposition.

If we play with the passion and energy like we did against the Cowgirls then we roll right through the Titans and a lot of other teams.

I think this is where we are a level below the Storm. Bellamy doesn't just ask for that commitment each week he demands it.

The difference there is the storm have been playing under a structure that has been ingrained and developed over the last 12 years with minor tweaks as personnel change.

I kind of see this year as a rebuilding year for the broncos... primarily because our halfback is gone and we have changed our entire focus to Milf being the dominant playmaker, which is something he hasn't been exposed to at all in his career.

We have had a pretty massive clean out over the last few years and now have a decent youngish core of players to build a base from. Sammy would be the oldest regular by a long way followed by Boyd?? The rest are pretty much under 30 from a guess.

I say rebuilding in that I can see us making the 8, but don't really have us down as a full fledged contender. If it all clicks, mainly with Milf, we will 100% be a contender and would have basically bypassed a rebuilding phase altogether.

Well that's disappointing.

 

[Kyall]

There won’t be many changes to the line up really imo, Sims starts and Su’a on the bench. Pearson straight swap for Oates, Opacic still on the bench.

Totally going to brag here but I 100% called it

You are great at stating the obvious, no doubt about it

Really good for Shibasaki after one ISC game.

Well done. I think the broncos have found their new coach

 

[Morkel]

I have a theory with Tagataese. Otherwise known as Taggers, or as I like to call him, Tiggy Tiggy Tutu.

I don't think he was ever intended to play first grade for us. Not because he's not good enough, actually because he is a genuine first-grader who works hard and is a team man. With everyone kissing the arses of every young talent that comes through, they need some form of grounding. Enter Tagataese. Decent first-grader who may or may not pick up a spot in the 17 this year but every week is busting his arse at training, never letting his head drop, and happily doing his job in the ISC. The fact that he is going so well in that comp by all reports just reiterates it to the young guys - a spot in the NRL side has to be earned, over time, through hard work and commitment.

I'm sure during Origin, or through injury, or for a couple of select games, Wayne will play him to show the kids that there is a reward for all the effort. But he's here as a grounding influence IMO.

I love it when people quote themselves.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Off to the naughty corner @Kyall. I would tell you to reflect on yourself but I think the last thing you need is more of yourself in the mirror

 

[Wolfie]

Really good for Shibasaki after one ISC game.

Hope he can come good for us. Always thought he has the potential to be a pretty good player here

 

[Socnorb]

Well done. I think the broncos have found their new coach

And in Nrl news, Broncos coach, Kyall, has named a completely new team for the third week in a row. This weeks team completely made up of teen sensations.

Do you think he'll be making his debut at some stage soon?
