So much for Fusitu'a and the likes going home.

 

[Big Pete]

I didn't realise Matt Manukia's Twitter post was a thread.

Fusitua, Maumalo, Paasi are going home...

...after the July 19 game against Cronulla.

Also should have read further into Egan's suspension, I read the NRL.com headline and just went from that.

Honestly even if they lose RTS, the Warriors should win this weekend. I'm not sure when the penny is going to drop with the Broncos, but they've done nothing to suggest it's going to turn around.

He came out and trained in front of the press so sadly that won't go over.

Noticing the trend here yet? Seibold just told the whole League world that Boyd and Milford are protected species simply because of how much money they are on. If Bird was fit and playing like garbage, he would be in the same basket.

This club is far more interested in protecting its face than it is winning games.

And they fail to see, these things are inextricably linked

RTS will run for 500 metres if he plays.

he'll get cramps and fall short.

Warriors starting 13 would be getting close to their full strength??

Jazz to come into 13 and Murchie out for Katoa, but the backline looks close to their full strength pending Herbert as they hadn't really settled on a center pairing I believe.

That bench looks pretty horrendous though

 

[Dexter]

We will win this week. If this public flogging isn't enough to get these guys up then nothing is.
I'm cheering for AS to find his way and help lift us to a convincing win.

Didn’t they have a public flogging the previous week too?

 

[McHunt]

That was the week before, and the week before that, and the week before that. Oh the week previous to that.

 

[holdzy]

5 weeks of shame is enough.

This weekend we will feel...whats the opposite of shame?
Pride?
No, not that far from shame.
Less shame?

A win this weekend for Broncos fans and less shame.

 

[Unbreakable]

I can almost guarantee Lodge will drop out, Flegler will start and Oates will come onto the bench.

 

[theshed]

Justice for Isaako at least, and he’s finally named a bench that makes some sense. We might just lose this one by a little less than normal.

 

[Alec]

I wouldn't mind seeing how Isaako would go in the centres. He's not very good on the wing or at fullback, but centre might suit him the most. Farnworth can stay on the wing (and I don't mean that like a demotion, I rate wingers higher than centres).

You know the bench won't stay that way. Luke will probably get dropped for someone too because he played well last week.

I reckon they'll get smashed again because they will think all they have to do is turn up to win again.

 

[winslow_wong]

That was the week before, and the week before that, and the week before that. Oh the week previous to that.

I thought two first round exit from the finals via floggings would have been enough for some hard truths.

You know Isaako played centre in NYC for Cronulla and won quite a few accolades there.

*In my best Jack Nicholson voice* THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!

Broncos seem confident he won’t miss any games. They say he’s been cleared of a leg injury and has settled nicely.

He was good with ball in hand, where he struggled was in defence. Even at NYC level, he was horrendous in that regard.

It doesn't appear he's improved that facet of his game either.

Just missing Ah Mau.

Afoa would be on the bench as well.
