PRE-GAME Round 5 - Broncos vs Tigers

[tommy]

It's a sad fucking point we've reached when a coach can't drop people because it might upset them.

Can we try this for a couple of weeks? We've been lacking some punch in the starting line-up (Flegler/Fifita) and we've been lacking some reliability off the bench (Glenn/Joffa), I think this make-up makes a lot more sense for the time being, let's see what we've got with Flegler & Carrigan.

I don't mind that at all.

If coach is only going to make minimal changes then I'm happy for the inclusion of carigan to be one of them, most likely at the expense of sua.

If i had to pick one more change I'd like to see glenn back to the bench and fifita moved into his left edge for the full 80 mins. I think fifita is far more effective in the back row for 80 mins then for short burst in the middle and i also think he's better then glenn on the edge. Further to the argument from memory a few years ago glenn played the middle forward off the bench role quiet well? Plus depending on our bench make-up we could use his experience.

Of course if gillo gets moved back to lock to cover tpj and fifita into his spot that changes things. Definitely a few questions for team list Tuesday.

This isn’t a bad idea but I don’t think siebs will risk starting two rookies flegler and carrigan at the moment. I’d say they will come off the bench.

Then we can only hope for season ending injuries to the 'protected species' stinking up the joint.

Just read everything our old mate Gordie Tallis had to say about our team and club today.

I rarely agree with that guy but it pains me to admit that everything he said today is right and 100% cold hard truth.

I'm not sure if we sit in our 27 million dollar facility drinking coffee thinking we own the joint, but we definitely have a bad attitude and this current crop of players are not winners. I'm sorry but they are not winners.

It shits me to tears to admit old boof head Tallis is spot on but he is and it needed to be said. Our team and club needs to wake up to themselves.

They can definitely change their attitude and become winners and prove us wrong. I'm hoping for that, I really am but these young guys and this entire team isn't like the Broncos of the 90's, and I don't expect them to be but they could get inspired by the old boys.

Hunger, desire, willingness to win, great attitude, team spirit, it's not there with these blokes. It hasn't been there in a few years actually. Sad day when I agree with Gorden Tallis.

 

[McHunt]

Doesn't matter how many lunk forwards he rotates, until he dumps the lumbering cocksucker who's been shitting all over the play from dummy half he's just pissing into the fan.

Glenn should be dropped before Sua.

I’d be willing to go jack bird to fullback and become captain. Team needs a new regime.

“When an opportunity presents itself, the player has to go at it with two hands. Payne will come off the bench and be full of energy,’’ McCullough said.

Man, this made me laugh but not in a fun way. Be great if McCullough showed any freaking energy in what he’s doing, wish he’d spend some time on the bloody bench.

Now all I need is for Darius to give a quote about what Payne will offer in defence.

Macca IS the Broncos. He does the most tackling. He does the most ball handling. He does the most talking. Blame him if you don't like how that's working out.

It may well do, rogerwilco hinted at the fact that it might also cause some of them to sook and cause greater attitudinal and behavioural issues. I am all for dropping players that deserve to be dropped provided we have other viable options.

Let them sook. It will weed them out of the club

 

[FaithinHook]

Let them sook. It will weed them out of the club

Exactly right! If that is the type of personalities they are, we don't need them at the club. It only takes 1 or 2 players to infect the whole team and drag performances down. I don't care which players they are, or how much talent or potential they have. The coach can't keep mollycoddling them, they are grown men FFS. What kind of world exactly do some of these players live in. Talk about sheltered lives!

I would rather a team of plodders who try their guts out each week than a bunch of prima donnas with hearts the size of a pea and the attitude of a pre-menstrual 14 year old schoolgirl.

Can we please get Tommy Raudonikis in to slap some sense into some of these snowflakes.

 

[Wolfie]

Glenn should be dropped before Sua.

Rubbish, Sua has been poor. Lazy, unfit and offering very little, especially playing in the middle.He needs game time in ISC to build up some fitness. Glenn hasn't been anything more than OK, but he has been better than Sua.

 

[Old Mate]

If any young halves can stand up plz let Kodi play fullback. He will **** shit up.

Flegler & sua to qcup to play bigger minutes for fitness . Flegler hasn't done anything wrong but I think these young forwards need to be rotated, sua needs to get back some form.

I like it but no Mago for me and definitely another workhorse in Fensom. Otherwise perfect.
