Glazing Talty?! All. Day. Long.
He should start and Captain Australia as far as I am concerned.
However, keep him of the bench for impact.

He seems to come on and make a important play when we need it before half time.

Shibasaki really needs to sort his shit out. Thought he was very average tonight again. Had some decent moments but Mariner at left centre would be a step up if we could swing it

 

[Berry Barrigan]

Madge saying Jesse might just be a cork. Fingers crossed. I did prefer him at FB over Perham, but not after tonight.

Average?!
You mean Shitbasaki.
Time to take him for a long walk into the woods.

 

[Brocko]

We beat the dogs last year with Cobbo at 1, Hoeter at centre and Smoothy at prop as we had no Haas or Carrigan, coming from well behind. So our busted Broncos will beat them again.

 

[McHunt]

I’d be giving Bukowski 20 off the bench until Hunt/Mozer return. He’s not quite ready for prime time, but he’s already the best attacking hooker I can recall seeing in a Broncos jersey for a very long time.

 

[Super Freak]

They said Arthars has a calf issue.

I heard it's a cork, which might be the same thing.. I don't know.

 

[Brocko]

The list of injuries come Monday morning…

Madge going through the injuries on Monday

 

[Morkel]

Before we pick the team…
CATCHING PRACTICE
for EVERYONE. No exceptions.
Even if you’re injured you train to catch a bomb. It’s beyond a joke.
Otherwise… Go Broncos

Staggs and Walsh wizzing about on their mobility scooters trying to get under the high balls.

 

[BroncsFan]

Haas - likely MCL
Staggs - torn ligament in his foot
Arthars - ice on the leg, don't know what yet
Riki - playing on one leg
Mariner - playing injured
Hoeter - out
Carrigan - suspended
Walsh - test
Paix - test
Bunt - out
BTK - disappeared
Mozer - gone
Gibasaki - talent sucked out
Tawha - gone
Ganderson - gone
Walters - gone

Unreal to get the win (and should be 2-0 with the outs). I don't know who we even have fit next week. Losing Staggs and Haas though, that might be a bridge too far.

Did Madge say Jesse was a cork?

 

[Sproj]

Did Madge say Jesse was a cork?

Yeah he did, he hopes he’s ok for next week but won’t know for sure until after scans.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Staggs and Walsh wizzing about on their mobility scooters trying to get under the high balls.

Yep, it’s all in. Just had surgery, get out there! Here comes another high one!

Front Rower?!
Here comes another high one!

Won’t play 1st grade this year?
Here comes another high one!

You’re an assistant coach?
Here comes another high one!

Basically drill catching a high ball until we catch at least 10%, not drop 10 out of 5 attempts.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Pray that Walsh isn't bullshitting and is back next week cause we will be lucky to have a full 17

I don't know if we want to rush Walsh back for a game against the Bulldogs

 

[Big Del]

They said Arthars has a calf issue.

Corked .

I just want to point out, that dropping 5/10 is 50% so they're already doing it
