PRE-GAME Round 7 - Broncos vs Titans

[Accept]

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

Surely not, Kodi isn't good enough to lead this side around. Bennett might give a specialist HB his debut.

 

[Thelmus]

Whoever replaces hunt, will have to play second fiddle to milford. I think alot of tonights performance was down to how macca stood up in attack as well as defence. He did so many kicks, good kicks too, and he organised too. He was talking all the time. I dont think you could ask more from any hooker, even smith, than what he gave tonight.
If he could repeat that, we should be fine. If not, then milford will need to step up and lead the attack, which is tough for someone so young. But the next few weeks will be good for the teams future development regardless.

 

[Donald Garner]

Just listened to the Broncos press conference. Bennett said that Oates would be back next week and when questioned about mead he said he wasn't looking forward to leaving Mead out of the team and then he realised what he said and said straight after "well if I have to leave him out of team and that mead would get plenty of other opportunities this year". That to me says Moga stays and Mead goes for Oatesz

 

[rnabokov]

Moga deserves another shot

 

[Sproj]

I'd go with:

1. Boyd
2. Mead
3. Roberts
4. Oates
5. Kahu
6. Milford
7. Nikorima
8. Blair
9. McCullough
10. Ese'ese
11. Thaiday
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Glenn
15. Pangai Jr
16. Arrow
17. Fai

I would really like to go to this game but the fact its on Good Friday precludes me from doing so.

Not that I'm religious, at all, in any sort of way, but not being able to just get a beer before and after the game, kills it for me.

 

[Morkel]

Mead was impressive. But we finally got a glimpse of the Good Moga, even if Bad Moga started the game. Our "defensive specialist" Reed was easily beaten by Ferguson, twice in one game, at least Moga burnt him back, multiple times, and took him out of the game.

 

[broncsgoat]

Why can't we just have a good left centre... Doesn't even have to be a gun just someone who's not polarising who we have to weigh up perceived strenghts and weaknesses...

 

[Unbreakable]

I don't want it to happen because I love him on the wing, but I think the most likely scenario is Kahu going to left centre. You can't leave Mead out after that, plus he has a good relationship on and off the field with Jimmy. Nikorima was impressive, still think I'd prefer his impact off the bench for the moment. This would be my team until Hunt & Sims return.

1. Boyd (c)
2. Oates
3. Kahu
4. Roberts
5. Mead
6. Milford
7. Scarlett / Murphy (Whoever has the hottest form in the ISC)
8. Ese'ese
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. McGuire

14. Ofahengaue / Fai (Whoever has the hottest form in the ISC)
15. Pangai Jr
16. Thaiday
17. Nikorima

 

[vertigo]

Surely you have to play Mead against his old club, Oates could use another week off tbh.

 

[meady]

Titans will be sending traffic straight down the Milf/Moga corridor and the Bronx should be returning serve at Elgey.

 

[Organix]

I wonder if Roberts played better because Mead was there?

 

[1910]

Not sure what some people were listening to last night. Bennett didn't say it would be Murphy or Scarlett.

He said- I don't know. Kodi is there Scarlett and Murphy play each other this week. We have a good system at Broncos.

 

[jarro65]

The fact that he mentioned them suggest that they are in the mix somewhere

He said I don't know; then named the three players in the club who can play.

 

[Taylor1921]

Don't count out Scarlett and Murphy, Bennett said he'll be watching qld cup games this weekend to see how the both of them go. I like Murphy, would love to see him get a crack.

 

[Super Freak]

I can't see either Murphy or Scarlett getting a shot.

Perhaps they will come onto the bench, but Kodi will get that halfback spot.

 

[pagey]

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.

I think moga showed signs he can attack and defend. He just needs to read the defense better , and like i said before he is trying to help milf to much. The try to Ferguson he was sitting on milfs shoulder and let fergo get on his outside , and fergo will beat anyone in that position. I remember one jack reed being owned by fergo, some people have short memories.
