Round 5 - Titans vs. Broncos - Pre Match Discussion

[Alec]

apparently hook is filthy with norman for signing with the eels

I don't get it, why does everyone other than the viewers rate him so highly? Media rates him as a superstar, Ricky Stuart is throwing money all around him, Hook is now filthy...I really don't get it.

 

[Porthoz]

Where did you get that from?

Source? Or stfu lol

 

[noisetheory]

source is a bloke on fb who had a few drinks with one of the broncs tonight. did post a pic that at least proves he was sitting at the same table.

suggested that norman will be out when dugan comes in

edit *withdrew name of player*

How do you know Ricky is throwing money all around him? Norman ain't a stripper lol
Source?

i really dont know what happens when dugan comes along.

the bottom line at the moment is hunt needs more game time. our go forward improves dramatically as soon as he comes on.

hoffmans injury is a real shame was so good to see him get a couple tries. i think he's found his position and has been close to our best this year for pure effort alone.

i hope thaiday can continue on from what he showed last night. he really let his actions do the talking. huge game from him and he just needs to try keep that up now.

Why did you edit the players name out?

 

[noisetheory]

eh, its not really necessary to the story. not a player in competition with norman for position.

 

[Bull Shark]

A titans win tomorrow would set things up very nicely for the broncos to get the W next Friday...

 

[rnabokov]

When is the last time Dugan played a full game of NRL at full fitness ? (relevant only if signed.)

Titans Game

1. Dugan
2. Kahu
3. Reed
4. Hodges
5. Berrymann
6. Hunt
7. Wallace
8. Hannant
9. McCullough
10. Thaiday
11. Gillett
12. Glenn
13. Parker
14. Anderson
15. Norman (replacement for backrow or backs)
16. Hala
17. Timu

 

[Foordy]

Hook wont drop Maranta or Prince and i think Hala is injured

 

[jakepearce94]

The only reason I want to see Wallace shifted to hooker, is because I want to see how Hunt performs in the 7, as he seems to have a bit of creativity and unpredictability about him, but mainly because I want Macca out of there.

Hunt is not the answer ! :001_unsure:

 

[Porthoz]

Hunt is not the answer ! :001_unsure:

Care to elaborate?

Not that I am convinced he is the answer, but it's the solution to get Macca out of the hooker position and get someone with a better and quicker service in there. Besides, he deserves a chance to make his case!

 

[hayseed]

Titans have us covered in every department, even Steve Micheals will run amok, will not be a pretty scoreline.

 

[Charmamba]

Hunt is not the answer ! :001_unsure:

How so? He shows creativity, He directs the guys around him well and has quick hands. I noticed during the Storm game he was directing the likes of Thaiday/Parker without second thought.

To John Cena it, His time is now!

he's had his chance to make his case. in trial games and in nrl and hasn't made the most of his opportunities.
his kicking game is pretty shit imo.

 

[Charmamba]

He went well in trial games alongside Prince, The issue is he is vying for spots tied up by the golden kids Wallace/Macca. Hook is afraid to drop these guys, Lok at how he moved Hoffman just to keep Norman on the team.

I believe I've seen similar posts about the Storm game. :001_rolleyes:
