God I hope Hunt's injury is not too bad.

It could be anywhere from 2 weeks to a couple of months.

 

[Foordy]

If Hunt is out ... Nikorima will get his audition for the 7 jumper for 2018

 

[Donald Garner]

Broncos twitter said mild hamstring. Not serious! That's good news!!

 

[GCBRONCO]

If Hunt is out ... Nikorima will get his audition for the 7 jumper for 2018

Even if Hunt plays I think Kodi justified staying in the side tonight and I would like to find room for Mead even if Oates returns. I was pretty impressed with Milford's effort tonight some real nice touches and good signs of his running game, good signs.

 

[Foordy]

I would like to find room for Mead even if Oates returns

you don't need to look very far ... just to the bloke playing left center

 

[Super Freak]

With how easily Fergo brushed him off, I would be fine with Kahu being centre because we would get just about the same defensively but a far better attacker.

Saying he was a turnstile would be offensive to all turnstiles out there.

usually you touch a turnstile as you go through it ... that wasn't the case for Ferguson tonight

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Same 17 as tonight, if we play with the same level of desire and speed, we should thump them again

Oates needs to come back in ... and i know just to to drop for that to happen

 

[Unbreakable]

Hunt is out 2-3 weeks with his hammy strain, confirmed by Bennett. He also said that Scarlett & Murphy are both big chances to replace him, they play each other this weekend in the ISC.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Well good to see Bennett looking at all options available in Hunt's injury absence.

 

[Rhino1001]

My prediction for next weeks team

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Roberts
4. Moga
5. Kahu
6. Milford
7. Niko
8. Ese'ese
9. Macca
10. Blair
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. Mcguire
14. Glenn
15. Sims(if he is not injured)
16. Pangai jr
17. Mead(60th minute move oates to second row, Thaiday off Mead on wing) or Fai or Offa

Will be good to see how Niko goes.

 

[Unbreakable]

I liked what I saw of Scarlett in the trials, I think we should give him a crack, can't hurt. I imagine that Sims may miss some time as well, foot injuries aren't something to mess with.

 

[Donald Garner]

Surely we go with Kodi at 7 and a four forwards on the bench!!

 

[Donald Garner]

Wish Benji wasn't bloody injured. Perfect chance for him to have come into the team!!

 

[Rico]

Yep two bad misses for Moga but that can be fixed. He ran for 234 metres and did well to get back into the game after the howlers. He put that shot on ferguson and he was never seen again so on balance definitely worth sticking with
