Round 8 - Broncos vs Titans - Build Up Thread

[Kimlo]

That fan doesn't watch much footy and has no idea of how it works. He's just jeleous that the boys are going to smash his hopeless team.

If Hodges plays on Friday he will set a personal best of 9 games in a row :cheesy:

Wow, he's never played 9 games in a row before? Not even in 2006?

sorry i though the emoticon showed i was joking, just having a laugh given his poor injury and suspension record over the past several years.

i'll change the emoticon to try and make it more obvious :smile:

Haha well I thought you were serious :P But yeah it's been good to see him not troubled by injuries this year(touch wood).

Haha, it is an entirely believable statistic though. :haha:

 

[GCBRONCO]

Hoffman cleared of a potential injury so looks like his going to play.

 

[Alec]

I'd rest him just in case, but I'm no doctor and don't know the circumstances. It's just he injured it twice in 2 weeks, better let it rest another week, we are only playing the Titpants.

For a team that sucks so much, the Titans fans over at the Legion are pretty damn optimistic.

It's not so much optimistic as... How should I put it... Hmm... Deranged?

Their strength is their structure and our weakness is our lack of structure ... that will be the measure of this match-up as we are better on paper than they are man for man. Titans by 1.

Say what? :wowzers:

 

[vertigo]

Nek minnit..

 

[Stu Omo]

Titans by probably 1000.

 

[broncos4life]

Titans better on paper? Yeah nah. lol.

1. Zillman Vs Hoffman - Hoffman
2. Gordon Vs Beale - Gordon
3. Idris Vs Reed - Reed is better but let's make this an even comparison just to clear any bias.
4. Peyroux Vs Hodges - Hodges
5. Mead Vs Copley - Mead
6. Sezar Vs Norman - Norman
7. Prince Vs Wallace - Prince (Wallace is in way better form BUT Prince is better "on paper"..)
8. Bailey Vs Hannant - Hannant
9. Srama Vs McCollough - Macca
10. Douglas Vs Civoniceva - Civoniceva
11. Myles Vs Glenn - Myles
12. O'Dwyer Vs Thaiday - Thaiday
13. Harrison Vs Parker - Parker

Minicheillo, Henderson, Thompson and Bird Vs Teo, Hunt, McGuire, Gillett - Bench is an OBVIOUS clear winner to us.

So that's:

Broncos - 9 (Including the bench)
Titans - 4
Equal - 1

And if you REALLY want to, to avoid any ridiculous bias (which, I don't think I have been, I've been fair with it I believe) But just for the sake of the argument, let's give them 2 back. It would still be a win to us on paper.

In conclusion, Toidans fans have NFI.

I seriously do not think Prince is better than Wallace... not at all

 

[Coxy]

He's not. And he hasn't been for 2 years. But Prince will always be better on paper. Prior to 2011, Prince has been all class.

At their best, Prince is a better player.

^^^ This. Prince has won a premiership, played Origin, been around a lot longer than Wallace. So on paper he's better. And he was better than Wallace on the field until end of 2010. Last 18 months Prince has played like a busted, and Wallace has improved steadily since his rather horrible 2010. I think we've seen the best of Prince now, his good days will come and go, but I reckon he used up his "good" credits against Manly the other week.

Prince had one injury too many. He has never really come back from his last broken arm. And who can blame him? How many broken bones has he had?
No help from his useless forward pack last year didn't help either.

I liked Prince he was a VERY good player. I would have rated him in his prime above Cronk in his prime too. Just unfortunate that he has played on too long/injuries.

Shame for him that he peaked just before Queensland's dominance of Origin, and had been passed by Thurston.

 

[Broncoman]

He had a fine debut in the 1st game in 2004 (the Timmins field goal). In that game Prince scored QLD's 1st try and set up the 2nd. He played well every time he wore a QLD jersey.

 

[pennywisealfie]

Can't wait for this. Titans to get smashed as usual. since the first game where they beat us and a game here or there when we were missing our origin guys, we have dominated them.

 

[Porthoz]

Despite being confident in a victory, this will not be a walk in the park.
The Titans are potentially a much better team than their ladder position indicates, and that win in Brookvale will certainly have done wonders to their confidence.
