PRE-GAME [Round 7, 2022] Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Kezza]

Training notes (CM)

Turpin nursing a collarbone injury.
Gamble 6, Walters 9, Paix 14, TMM 1
Capewell doing no-contact work, but expected to play

I like the changes apart from the worry about Martin at fullback.

Source is the Courier Mail, numerous reporters but probably Peter Badel:

"Hooker Jake Turpin is in doubt with a collarbone injury. He wore a red no-contact bib running with the Renegades"​

​

Adam Jackson confirmed he was training with the reserves.

Turpin has been struggling with collarbone and pec injuries for some time:

Ex-Broncos skipper Jake Turpin could be dropped for Round 6

Jake Turpin looks set to pay the price for Brisbane's dismal run of form, with Kevin Walters reportedly considering dropping the Broncos former captain to the bench in Round 6.

Funny... My source told me he was training with reserves full contact. Maybe they're trying to save his reputation

 

[I bleed Maroon]

He's on the outer. I'm not believing this injury stuff. You can't tell me he's been used as a tackle bot while carrying a Pec injury. That's just fucking stupid.

Some wires being crossed either intentionally or accidentally not sure..

But Willison and Capewell were also in red vests. Full contact. Turpin also out snapping guys in half..

Strange

Palasia dropped? Wow. James must be a VERY impressive talker.

Must have gone to the seibold school of powerpoint and dazzled kevie with his presentation as to why he should remain in the team

Yeah... I don't get it.

He might be a great leader at training, but not every father can run out into the field with the kids on the weekend

The only thing I can think of is that Kevvie wasn't happy with his discipline which resulted in 10 in the bin, after that moment in the game we were never really a chance.

 

[TimWhatley]

With three 5/8's in the team hopefully we will get the output of one real one.

 

[Cult]

Is it possible that we had to train TMM at fullback for him to get an exemption as our fullbacks are injured and our five-eights aren’t? Quick switcheroo a few minutes in or something? Am I giving Kevvie too much credit? Haha

 

[Foordy]

Palasia dropped? Wow. James must be a VERY impressive talker.

I haven't seen that reported anywhere

 

[BooKhaki]

There is something very wrong if Palasia gets dropped. He has been really good this year.

When he got binned last game Ikin gave him the death stare clearly not happy with him.

 

[bert_lifts]

is TMM any good? Can't really remember him much when he played a few years ago.

From Palasia's point of view, he didn't really do anything to warrant being sent to the sin bin. Every game since the no punching rule came in, players have been slapping or shoving the opposition player in the face whilst holding their jersey.

If that's the reason he is going to be dropped for this week, then that's pretty ordinary from Walters. He has easily been our best forward after Haas and Carrigan. I don't think he deserves to be dropped.

 

[Wolfie]

I wouldnt drop Palasia. I dont think he was great against Penrith, but i dont really think apart from Jensen any of our other forwards were great either. Players have poor games sometimes and you cant drop them for one poor showing. You consider it once it gets to 4 or 5 straight, but not one.

I disagree, just watching last week I could see our players trying their arses off to not get lazy in the ruck or do anything to give away a penalty, without being in the group it's hard to know but I dare say discipline and not doing anything to put the team under pressure would be high on the priority list.

If that's all true, Kevvie really had to take a stance given it really wasn't necessary, you're welcome to view it as soft or whatever but there was no need to do it.

He was looking good before his brain injury, runs good support lines and knows how to get over the stripe. I really am hoping he has a breakout game and goes off like a frog in a sock.
