PRE-GAME Round 5 - Rabbitohs vs Broncos

[nopatience101]

We gonna get flogged next few games. Might as well experiment and get some combos happening cause our set plays are still predictable and slow..
Walsh at 1. Isaako is not that answer and wont be long term. Need some x factor and speed from the back.
Oates for Mead. Ready to give Oates a chance. We need some metres coming out of our half we only average 35m a set last night.
Milf / Deardon.. if Deardon is long term. Croft out of the team completely, useless on bench.
Asiata at lock. We need a ball playing lock. Carrigan is a prop the way he plays. Bench him.
TPJ on the edge replacing Glenn. I don't care if Glenn is captain, he isn't performing there. Bench him.
Paix as cover for Turps. He is not a 80min player and not the answer long term too..
Give Kennedy a spell on bench. Fledger has been ordinary.

Isaako is more long term than Walsh...

 

[Jedhead]

We need to have Kennedy in the team somewhere. Maybe drop Flegler

I'd be more inclined to drop Lexy. He's offering us absolute nix at the moment.

I wouldn't keep Isaako long term

 

[Kimlo]

Starting to think Payne Haas is a big reason for our shit form to. His first game back and by far our worst performance.

You've got some pretty shit takes but this is up there.

 

[winslow_wong]

i think getting as many lads as possible into this side that AREN'T apart of this losing drop your head when it gets tough culture may be the way to go. It kills me to say it but the likes of Copely, get Asiata back in bring K Hunt in. Guy's who when we get points scored against us arent in the mode of "oh shit not again".

Its a culture of losing and dropping their heads, bringing in as much new blood as possible could change that?

What is the situation with k hunt? Can he actually be selected for first grade. I feel like we need him for his experience, talk and leadership pretty badly.

How good would it be to have him play centre or something. Heck I'd swap him with Milford next week. He may be a bit old, but I bet he still plays with heart and a winners attitude. You don't lose that type of grit and Milford never had it.

 

[Cult]

Throw it all out and start again.

Whatever happens from now on they need to stop fucking around with Dearden, he’s the halfback. The kid must be soo confused.

 

[BroncsFan]

That's not what it was.

It was Isaako's kick that went dead. One way traffic after that.

Isaako's kick went dead because Milf decided to run a block play on last tackle and dumped it off to him with nothing on.

Milf should be taking ownership of that play and putting a kick in... instead of palming it off to whoever is outside him.

Lack of awareness, responsibility or both. He's the senior player in the squad, senior player in the spine and he doesn't take ownership of our attack.

 

[WASSHHH]

Even though Munster ran in first. Was a very shit call. That ref is always a **** to us

I actually thought we got the majority of dodgy calls in our favour last night, almost like the ref felt sorry for us.

As a Broncos team, you must know you’re a fucking disgrace when the ref starts trying to help you.

Milford & croft are undroppable it seems.

Reminds me of a certain fullback last year.

Ref could have helped us by making the Storm actually keep 10m back in defence. Very easy to build pressure when you are offside all night.

Got home only to watch the set (was listening on radio in the car) but I am 1000% certain that Milf needs to dropped. Anytime he got the ball before the last play he thought he was in kindergarten and played “hot potato” to anybody dumb/unlucky to be next to him (Glenn as last receiver, really?!?). Otherwise it was a “bomb and pray” kick that never troubled the Storm because our backs were so gassed that the ball could even bounce once, get retrieved and our blokes were still 10-15 metres behind.
As bad as Croft is, at least he’s trying not to play himself off the team. Time for Milf to go back to Q Cup, it worked for B.Hunt didn’t it?

 

[BroncsFan]

Yes exactly. There is nothing I can enjoy about the sport anymore. Vlandys fucked it

Game is predictable and no longer competitive... prison rules NRL where whoever cheats the most wins (6 again for an offside is the absolute nail in the coffin for keeping the game competitive)

Cant even enjoy supercoach nowadays because it's just players from the 3-4 strong teams... so everyone ends up picking the same players.

 

[vertigo]

Coaches baby big money players who have been playing like shit for far too long for some reason. I really don't get it.

Can you sack a player for being useless?

I agree 100%. Thing is, we have no attack to own, mainly because the defence is all over us before our halves have the time and space to do anything. Trying to explain the mess we are in by blaming individuals is pointless for mine. We need to fix our defence first, then work out ways to give our halves room to make decisions and execute. Put Munster in our side and I really doubt much would change, except Munster looking for a transfer out.

 

[BroncsFan]

Then it shouldn't be dumped off to him to kick it on the last
