PRE-GAME Round 7 - Broncos vs Sharks

[Accept]

Who is everyone tipping? I'm so tempted to tip the Sharks, but surely, SURELY we won't lose 5 in a row? SURELY?

Tip Cronulla. The Broncos are 1000/1 in this one.

 

[Kyall]

@Kyall the changes to the forwards were to allow your two favourite players (Haas and TPJ) to not only come into the side but to start ....

I thought you would be throwing a party, not complaining

That would be normally the case but in this situation I’m sick of seeing the same spine getting named and failing each week. WB still had the desire to debut our youth but siebold doesn’t have the balls to change our spine.

Not sure of the losing streak but in 1999 Broncos lost 8 out of the first 10 matches.... oh and Gordon was in that team. I don’t think he has mentioned that in his comments about the Broncos this year... I.E teams do play like crap and can’t get a win. anyway see what happens this Saturday..

Cronulla are 2.12 underdogs.... money to be made

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I'm tipping us for the first time in ages, so take that how you will.

Like many have said, why change when there's no better options atm. We should at least wait until we can field our best team in consistent weeks. I think that bench is pretty close to our best atm , until lodge comes back then one of flegler or carrigan to drop off and rotate.
Am a big sua fan but think it's in his best interests to go back to cup and play full games in his preferred position, I have no doubt he will replace Glenn in the near future. Other than that maybe bring a half or a nine on the bench, and maybe replace isaako if he keeps stinking it up(although he wasn't to bad on the weekend).

Am a big Sua fan too. Seibold has set him up to fail this year though. He is a damaging edge player and people forget what we saw of him last year on the left and right. Defenders would be more worried of him and Fifita than Gillo and Glenn at the moment. He’ll kill cup and We will probably lose him like we did Arrow and retain Glenn.

I don't see us retaining Glenn unless he improves dramatically.

I doubt it, seibold is a fan. I reackon he will take Glenn's spot before long, especially if Glenn doesn't pick up his game.

Someone said Dearden is in development and not top 30, guess they are wrong.......

 

[Alec]

Well, there are 30 players here, so maybe this is our top 30?

He wasn't in our announced top 29. But since then we've cut Kahu, added Kennar and cut Savelio. So we still had 2 spots in the 30 to fill, obviously Dearden has been elevated.

He has/is in our top 30 from what I believe.
Interesting selection, means he can’t be too far away.

For mine, it's not the spine so much as the awful defence , especially the left edge, which is the problem. We put on good points against the Raiders who are possibly the best defensive side in th comp at the moment and went down by 4. If those turnstile tries to Leilua were properly defended by a competent defensive unit we would have won easily.

I am however glad to see Dearden in the 21. To me, it is a wake up call to certain players by Seibold who did say he would
re-assess the roster by Rd. 8 and I think he is laying the groundwork, preparing for change.

And this is why I want sua there instead of Glenn, much more sting in defense.
