PRE-GAME [Round 8, 2022] Broncos vs Sharks

[LittleDavey]

Finucane and Graham back for the Sharks, and Hass touch and go to play. Hope the other forwards are ready to step up.

If he's not 100% I hope he rests. We were fine without him the other week, I'd rather he got back to full health if we don't need to rush him back.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Look until Kevvie sits down with the refs and demands a more balanced approach from the refs we won’t progress from the bottom half of the table. It’s so obvious each week our opposition gets their 6 agains at tackle 5. We get ours at the start of the tackle count. I would like to see how teams like Penrith roosters eels and the storm would adjust to having twelve tackle sets 8 or more times a game.

 

[Scorchie]

We have, but I've never been completely satisfied with a halves pairing since Langer/Walters. That's a long time between drinks.

Wut.

Milford/Hunt was completely satisfactory.

you do realise what the result of that convo will be, don't you.

they'll parrot their bosses "you just need to be better" and there is "no bias against the bottom of the table teams" ... then we'll be even more hard done by than we already are.

 

[McHunt]

Wut.

Milford/Hunt was completely satisfactory.

Compared to now, but:

Langer/Walters - 4 premierships
Milford/Hunt - 0 premierships

 

[Scorchie]

Langer/Walters - 4 premierships
Milford/Hunt - 0 premierships

And if Langer/Walters lost '92 perhaps the others wouldn't have come.

Your example is skewed but does not make Milford/Hunt any less valuable in '15, which to your point you reckoned we haven't had a halves pairing for 20 years. I'd almost argue Lockyer/Wallace worked pretty well too, considering we played Wallace into an origin jersey.

Perhaps you and Travis can write about that in the next scoop!

 

[theshed]

No logical explanation at all but for some reason I think we win this one

*** BEWARE ***

Do not click on the video preview of this game on NRL.com, unless to want to be subjected to the guy responsible for the position we currently find ourselves in ... Anthony Seibold

 

[Broncapz]

$100 bucks is safe money for a Bronco to be binned this game after the Roosters controversy.

 

[easybreezy]

Gene Miles puts on a masterclass in the second half to destroy the Sharks.

This is one of those games where you see why Gene Miles was so highly rated and why he is regarded by many in the Rugby League community as one of the best players of that era.

seriously, how good was Graeme Hughes...possibly my favourite commentator of all-time...had the big moments like Rabs and Eastlake, but sounded smart enough to stitch the other 78mins of the game together too

 

[Coll094]

Replace Walters with Turpin and basically that's the team.

Walters and Turpin both should be playing qcup the fact Paix isn’t running is a joke what more can one kid do to get start he practically won the game for us last week and billy did everything to loose us the game and Turpin is way to slow

I understand the bit of frustration but could be the perfect move if Walters plays his cards right. Get Walters to take the hit of the opposition forwards and give quality ball to our halves. Once we have made a way into the game play Paix for the last 50-55 minutes. That's how I believe he should be used and we definitely get our attack flowing again.

 

[vertigo]

All this talk about the number 9 jumper and people wanting Turpin back, yet we won last week (and won by quite a bit). However shitty we looked in periods of the game, we still won.

Have you looked a the ladder lately.

Sharks are 4th. Dogs are 16th.

Is that the game that was 2-2 half time and Broncos won 40-2?

I was at that game as a kid :)

Actually ever since the cowboys coach mentioned the bias they have had a much better run with the refs. This injustice has to be exposed rather than kept under wraps. The d grade actor has to be put under more scrutiny than he currently is. When his job is threatened he’ll stop stroking his goose.

Cowboys have had the rub of the green from refs for as long as I can remember.

They had it in round 3 when they spent the whole game offside without getting pinged

 

[McHunt]

Except I didn't. I said I wasn't completely satisfied with one. It was a subjective opinion.

Perhaps you and Travis can write about that in the next scoop!

I know this isn't really the thread for it but anyway, Brimson and Campbell don't go into 1 number 1 jersey. If the Titans wanted to back Campbell, Brimson will gladly be taken up the highway at Red Hill.
