Very real possibility you know.

not this week it is not. Pearson was not named in the 21 man squad ... he wouldn't be allowed to play

 

[Broncapz]

Can you blokes send a box of Toffee Pops to BroncosHQ please?

Are they still a thing? I can't find them ANYWHERE! They were my heroine growing up, and now that I can afford to swim in them, I can't find them anywhere.

Tom's Confectionary Warehouse bring them in man. Get. On. It. Oh, and Squiggles, BOTH FLAVOURS!

Edit:

Woolworths used to (might still do) do Woolworths branded chocolate fingers. They's just the Kiwi ones re-branded.
Coles brand "fake" MellowPuffs are kiwi real MellowPuffs.

Think we'll get smashed tomorrow to be perfectly honest.

It’s like the Gold Coast in here.

Welcome Bros.

If Oates moves to the forwards he will be allowed to play.

The NRL will allow it because we have no one else that can cover wing.

Another one from the Warriors forum here.

Been to quite a few Broncos games over there as my wife has a sister over there we used to see often on holidays. I'd usually get a few games in depending on the Broncos schedule. Jealous of your stadium...........and the weather.

Good luck for the weekend.

The Broncs have been given an exemption by the NRL this week to bring in Pearson due to the injury crisis, hence why I listed him in the 22.

Can any of the new cuzziebros here explain what this bullshit group deep breathing is about?

Its just about refocusing. Deep breaths lower your heart rate which makes you less prone to fatigue related errors or brain snaps.

It’s obviously about refocusing and retaining composure despite scoring or being scored against. Remaining calm and reminding yourself of the game plan. Essentially it’s about winning.

And winning they are, so we probably shouldn’t give them any shit about it.

On top of its calming effects there halve also been studies that sports teams who have more physical contact with their team members during a game have greater levels of success. Very smart by whoever implemented it at the warriors though I believe the allblacks have been doing it for a while.

Yes correct. Allblacks captain Keiran Reed got the warriors into it when he came into camp. We do it after scoring to refocus, and not make stupid mistakes and brain snaps to let the opposition undo the good work thats been done by scoring that try.

Gazing Evan's uses it with the Ab's- blue head and red head. Blue head is confident and concentrating, calm, certain and in the moment. Red is anxious and doubt and not on task.

The AB's and the Warriors now use it to know when you're heading to red and need a trigger to bring yourself back to blue- McGaw would stamp his foot.

 

[Huge]

@Huge is going to blow. his. fucking. load.

At 60, it's just a quite murmur ! I am very pleased to be honest, yes. I want to see him come on after 20 or so minutes and keep the roll on while being solid in defence. I don't expect a win nor do I expect a bench forward to change the game, just a solid contribution and decent metres. If he can be error free and make both his metres and tackles I'll be happy. Yes, it's a good day but I'm disappointed it has to be this game because if we lose people will be looking to blame someone. I know that's true anytime but we are really up against it this game.

doubtful because we would still have Haas in the 21 that can cover the forwards ... or Bird that can move into the forwards with Dargan slotting into the halves...

we would have too many options for positional changes for them to allow it.

IIRC, they denied the Titans when the signed Copley (despite them not having another center in the 21)

that is massively out of character for the NRL

That was last year.

The NRL are being more lenient this year and we have no cover for wing.

They have approved a few clubs this season.
