PRE-GAME Round 5 - Broncos vs Tigers

[Art Vandelay]

Why? The 6 and 7 both create a lot of scoring opportunities. Not their fault if their wingers and centres are dropping the ball.

The 1 is a huge reason for the defensive lapses though, he is also the captain, so needs to lead by example and direct players to fill gaps.

The 9 needs to give better service so the 6 and 7 can continue to shine. Creating opportunities to score is NOT a problem for this team currently.

We did bomb some chances against the Roosters, but conversely we've been gifted 2 tries this year from Ravalawa and Widdop dropping the ball cold, one from a Jesse Bromwich offload and one was just the typical 'James Roberts is fast' try that we don't currently have access to. It's probably too early to say whether or not our attack is a problem though. We've only played 4 games and the Cowboys matchup is historically an outlier.

Because it would take a first time watcher of rugby league to sit there and actually believe in their heart that Kodi is a halfback. He's not. He never will be. The experiment has failed.

i Just simply don’t think any good team can live without a good fullback these days, as this position provides so much to both attacking and defending sides, Boyd might still have something to offer, I just don’t know if it’d be too late till he gets his shit together

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

Doesn't matter who's at halfback if our forwards continue to be dominated. If our forwards get on top and our halves keep shitting the bed, then I'll join the drop Kodi chorus.

 

[Accept]

I think we’ll crush them this week.

Positive thinking there but I'm leaning towards a tight, low scoring affair. Flip a coin on who the winner is though.

Craig Wing points out here how our lack of structure contributes to forwards getting monstered in the middle.

 

[Foordy]

Fifita in the 13 is interesting ...

Glenn is an absolute waste of space. I can't believe Fifita is at lock, **** me dead. Haas not in the 17 either...

Fifita at lock? Has be played there before?

Geez for a hyped up pack, we seem light on forwards.

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Not particularly happy with the side named...

 

[tommy]

Haas misses out.

 

[Foordy]

Not particularly happy with the side named...

it's close to the best side we have available

 

[Super Freak]

Someone check on Wolfie.

 

[broncsgoat]

Smokescreen for Haas?

 

[Morepudding]

Surely they won't run out 1-17... That team makes no sense... Load up on the tigers boys. It's gonna be a long night. Fifita at lock? Block can hardly tackle... Haas at 18th man when Sua is useless and Shibasaki brings nothing at all and can barely play centre? I'd rather have Glenn or Fifita move to centre if there's a backline injury.

 

[Super Freak]

Haas misses out.

I'm not surprised.

I imagine the Broncos have told him that he needs to earn his spot after his **** ups.

 

[FaithinHook]

Oh **** shit this is fucking ridiculous. Seibold can piss off, I had huge hopes for him but he is no different to WB in the amount of chances he gives to non-performing players. He's a fucking soft ****. We are done for this week there is no doubt about that. Seibold is a gutless piece of fluff one season wonder as far as I'm concerned.

Seriously, what kind of incriminating photos do some of these players have to hold coaches over a barrell like this.
