Round 5 - Titans vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[Big Pete]

Broncos: 1. Corey Norman 2. Josh Hoffman 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Lachlan Maranta 6. Scott Prince 7. Peter Wallace 8. Ben Hannant 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Sam Thaiday (c) 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker
Interchange: 14. Ben Hunt 15. Dunamis Lui 16. David Hala 17. Scott Anderson 18. Nick Slyney 20. Jarred Wallace

J Hoffman and Hala would be the 'shocks' I guess. I don't know who else would have fit the bill other than perhaps Show.

I think one of the shocks was Hoffman being named. Big fan of Hala so it'll be for him to get some first grade form going. He hits the line so hard.

 

[Kimlo]

I was hoping shocks meant a change in our halves... Such as Hunt getting a go.

 

[Alec]

The shocks are how Wallace and Prince continue to get a free ride.

 

[tkday]

Funny, although it shouldn't come to a shock for you anymore. If they've been playing this badly for so long you have to think that nothing will change. Although to be fair Prince has only had 4 games.

 

[Big Pete]

Surely if we lose this game a change has to be made to our halves.

I'm fine with giving a new 1 and 6 time to gel but 5 weeks is enough time.

They'll probably make a change. They'll put Norman in the halves.

Papers report Hoffman's injury is big toe, not achilles? WTF.

 

[subsbligh]

You've got to hope Princey will be fired up for this one. He's a premiership winner and Origin player, so hopefully he can lift for a big occasion.

Hope Hala gets a run.

You're having a lend of us no doubt. Either way I giggled.

Good to see Hala back after his injury in Melbourne last year.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Prince in defence is the big worry this week. Taylor and Idris are coming his way.

Could be what they call 'turf toe' in the NFL.

Brisbane's injured list includes prop Josh McGuire (calf strain), backrower David Stagg (medial ligament), wingers Josh Hoffman (big toe strain), Jharal Yow Yeh (knee recovery), Dale Copley (ruptured knee) and centre Justin Hodges (hamstring).

But then, given they list Yow Yeh as "knee recovery", suggests the writer has NFI.

 

[Fozz]

The toe bone is connected to the knee bone....

 

[Coxy]

The knee bone's connected to the, red thing, the red thing's connected to my wrist watch.... uh oh

If things go as expected at the judiciary there could be a surprise inclusion on the bench.
