Round 7 - Tigers vs. Broncos - Pre-Match Discussion

[Big Pete]

Discuss

Representative round next week, so you won't see the boys until Saturday the 27th of April at 7:30pm.

It's good to have a nice easy game after a few big ones.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Would be good to have McGuire back for this one, I think with him on the bench alongside Anderson and Hala that would give us a real top forward platform to work with.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I wonder how many boys we will have backing up. We should win this but away from home and after 3 huge efforts it could be tough. McGuire back would be a bonus.

I hope Hodges and reed are playing at the level they were in the first two rounds. That injury really killed Hodges form

Reed was terrible in the first two rounds.

 

[GCBRONCO]

And Hodges is still playing well from returning injury, I would hardly claim it has killed his form.

 

[Alec]

I do wish Hodges would pass more. Look how much it improved Reed's game.

 

[Kimlo]

Hodges form has not died, he's just not getting much ball on his side of the field. He was very good tonight with what he got, he always goes looking for work.

I really think Griffin should put Hodges at fullback in games in 5-10 minute patches, he's lethal with space but at centre he always gets the ball flat infront of the defence. Norman and Hodges can easily swap positions for short periods.

I wouldn't call it an easy game, they gave the Storm a run for their money for 60 mins.

 

[Son Edo]

Let's just enjoy the bye and then we can worry about the Tigers.

 

[ningnangnong]

Typical... we get some momentum, start looking like a good footy team again, and now we've gotta wait two weeks for our next game!

FFS.

 

[Kimlo]

I think the two week break is good. We'll help the team with niggling injuries and our forward pack has been tireless so they could use a break.

 

[coreyh88]

Reed was terrible in the first two rounds.

I totally meant fillet but on second thought he was in better form last week.

 

[Coxy]

Mmm. Fillet

Benji Marshall probably won't play. Hard to see them even remotely threatening us without him.

 

[Browny]

Maybe Farah can carry the team

 

[Kimlo]

We just need to focus our game plan of Farah like we did to Thurston, without Marshall he'll have to do it all.
Honestly, the way we're playing I can't see us losing to the Tigers, especially without Marshall.
