The crippled Warriors will smash us.

Mark my words, we are not beating the warriors.

[BroncsFan]

don't fucking care at this point as long as Oates isn't on the fucking wing again and Darius is fucked off to centrelink

Seriously pay the wank out and don't let him back into the joint.... hire a fucking broomstick as the 30th player!!

I'd like to see Farnworth at FB with Niu in the centres. However, Boyd won't be dropped and he was ok tonight so it would be a joke to see our best strike player in the backs shoved out to the wing. He has too many skills we need at FB for mine. Tesi is still too young to take on FB. Herbie's football brain is what a good FB needs, and we need a good FB urgently, someone with the brains to connect with the halves and hang around the ruck looking for the ball.

I'm sure Herbie's instincts would make that happen. He is seriously all class

 

[mrslong]

Boyd won’t be dropped. He’s the link between Seibs & the senior players I was told.

 

[mitch222]

Boyd won’t be dropped. He’s the link between Seibs & the senior players I was told.

Hopefully we have a new coach this week
One that won’t tolerate mediocre performances week in week out

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Boyd won’t be dropped. He’s the link between Seibs & the senior players I was told.

Then drop every single senior player. If that is the hill they want to die on after playing like turds for 5 straight games, then they can join 'em out the door.

 

[GCBRONCO]

What are they going to do if Boyd was dropped? Play worse? Is that even possible?

 

[theshed]

1. Milford
2. Isaako
3. Farnworth
4. Staggs
5. Coates
6. Dearden
7. Croft
8. Flegler

14. Niu
15. Teo
16. Oates / Hoppa
17. Kennedy

coach: anyone else

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Don't be too disheartened guys and girls. Yes it fucking sucks to see our club burning like this, but it's not like 2020 means jack shit anymore anyway. Just way too disrupted, way too experimental, and still incredibly precarious depending on if NSW have a second wave. What has happened to the Warriors alone is enough to say "yeah this doesn't mean shit anymore."

The Rorters will get their three-peat and they will dance around with it like it is worth anything, but lets be honest, this was the 2020 season in March:

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Time for Croft to dropped and Dearden to play halfback.

If you still think at this point that Croft is an NRL level halfback at this point, I just don't understand what you have been watching. Croft is woeful in all of the important parts of halfback play...

Cant wait for team list tuesday...
