PRE-GAME [Round 5, 2022] Broncos vs Roosters

[vertigo]

The only bit of hope left is that capewell and riki coming back helps.

Palasia and robati aren't first graders.

 

[McHunt]

Is Gamble even in good form down in ISC or will we just be leading a player to the slaughter??

It's likely he will be brought in with Albert being injured, but he will be coming into a team that has zero confidence or belief, and now has injuries piling up.

The great thing about Gamble is we've all (I've) written him off and a lot of us (me) are expecting him to sign elsewhere. And that's just what brings out the best in him.

Unfortunately, I expect this has now given Kevvie licence to install his son at 6.

Palasia has been good at prop. Horrible on the edge but wasn’t really many options.

His son did nothing all game despite going into six early. Gamble would offer infinitely more like he did last year.

Here's a completely bullshit theory I came up with while pulling my **** this morning:

Billy has got progressively worse - Turpin style - since training under this old man's posse. He's a fairly ordinary 6, but a passable 14, if not put under too much pressure.

Careful - you’ll go blind

I already am. I'm thinking of signing up to be a referee.

I wonder if Niu switched off mentally once he knew his main competitor for the fullback spot was shipped off? He seemed to offer something prior to Isaako moving on, but the last two games were appalling.

I doubt it... he's only signed until next year and you would imagine he was signed on a cheapish deal as no one was really in for him and we weren't all that urgent to re-sign him.

If he's clocked off then his career is done at the end of next year... he'll want a big year this year to get an extension and upgrade

You know Ive been thinking about Tesi. 12M ago everyone was up in arms because he wasn’t support running if someone poked through.

He does now.

So all his faults, I honestly feel he’ll get there. He’s young and people who are young so dumb things sometimes.

Back him or sack him but if it’s option 2, you’d better make sure you have Walsh locked up.

 

[Accept]

Not sure Riki is either. Capewell is a proven "big game" player but how many big games is this team going to play? Some fans state that we have the roster to be a top 8 team. We don't and the results are already starting to show.

Good chance Albert has played his last game for the Broncos.

What happened?

He’s been ordinary since day one. But he had a highlight reel try last season and that buys you immunity it seems.

 

[Xzei]

What happened?

think his foot injury will have him out most of this year iirc and not sure if he was signed beyond this year.

 

[McHunt]

What happened?

Confirmed Lisfranc foot injury. Could end his season, or very close to it. He's 31, hasn't extended and is expected to make way for Ezra Mam.

Sad for Albert. I’d say gamble will get his chance now.

Tesi scored 8 tries in 16 games. Herbie scored 3 tries in 20.

Only one of those players has immunity from criticism. A shower of shit will rain down on your head if you dare. Trust me on that.

I think Herbie just tries more than Niu. Does more work which people appreciate
