PRE-GAME Round 8 - Warriors vs Broncos

[Fernando]

If there was ever a game for big changes this is it. Doubt it happens though.

 

[Behold]

You already know Tuesdays team list - only changes will be suspended and injured players in. People that put their hands up in a dismal team performance out. I expect Glenn to dropped for trying too hard and making the other players look shit.

 

[Big Pete]

Warriors
1. Hayze Perham
2. Adam Pompey
3. Peta Hiku
4. Gerard Beale
5. Patrick Herbert
6. Kodi Nikorima
7. Blake Green
8. Adam Blair
9. Karl Lawton
10. Lachlan Burr
11. Jack Murchie
12. Isaiah Papali'i
13. Tohu Harris

14. Chanel Harris-Tavita
15. Leivaha Pulu
16. Josh Curran
17. Jamayne Taunoa-Brown

18. Jazz Tevaga
19. King Vuniyayawa
20. Tom Ale
21. Paul Turner

I could see Hiku and Perham swapping, Lawton could also miss the match. Tevaga is due back so he could be a late inclusion, otherwise Paul Turner may receive a shot off the bench

Brisbane Broncos
1. Tesi Niu
2. Corey Oates
3. Herbie Farnworth
4. Darius Boyd
5. Xavier Coates
6. Anthony Milford
7. Brodie Croft
8. Joe Ofahengaue
9. Issac Luke
10. Payne Haas
11. Alex Glenn
12. Tevita Pangai Jr
13. Patrick Carrigan

14. Tom Dearden
15. Ben Te'o
16. Rhys Kennedy
17. Tom Flegler

18. Kotoni Staggs
19. Richie Kennar
20. Jamayne Isaako
21. Ethan Bullemor

If Staggs passes, he'll come in for Oates who may come off the bench in place of Kennedy or Dearden. Farnworth will go onto the left wing outside of Boyd.

 

[Locky’s Left Boot]

Warriors 30+

 

[Unbreakable]

Haven't read any of the other lists in this thread, but this is what I would be selecting. (Assuming Lodge out and Staggs fit)

1. Niu
2. Coates
3. Farnworth
4. Staggs
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. Dearden
8. Flegler
9. Luke
10. Haas
11. Glenn (c)
12. Pangai Jr
13. Carrigan

14. Hetherington
15. Oates
16. Te'o
17. Kennedy

 

[Accept]

If there was ever a game for big changes this is it. Doubt it happens though.

Big changes? In this squad? When you don't have the cattle, changes are pointless. And when you have a team who lack talent and motivation, then a playoff spot is a pipe dream.

YeP, glenn really went out and tried to inspire the team, particularly defensively. One particular set he grassed their FB, then got the next 2-3 tackles.

It is hard with halves. It looks like we have no game plan or structure. Stick even the better halves in the comp in our team and with the lack of structure and game plans from a decent coach and they would struggle.

 

[WASSHHH]

Bet Kia are pretty chuffed they jumped on board...

Putting Farnworth on the wing, let alone on the side we rarely use is a bloody joke, a complete waste of strike power when we need it most

Well he won't be playing right side when Staggs returns, that's a given. I can't see Seibold dropping Boyd for him either, so it's the most likely option at this stage.

I know. It sucks. Farnworth ought to be FB and Niu on the wing

How long until Fifita and Turpin are back?
I thought staggs hammy was a month minimum

 

[Foordy]

NRL.com has Staggs back in round 8 or 9
Fifita back in June/July (he started running so hopefully not too far off)
Turpin back in July

 

[Foordy]

RTS has been charged with a grade 1 shoulder charge. an early plea will see him miss this game.

 

[Xzei]

1. Milford

5. Coates
6. Dearden

coach: anyone else

Like this side Kennedy to start Flegler to the bench for me is only change I'd make
Oh and milf and niu to swap

 

[hench2020]

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

Darius Boyd who has been pathetic for 18 months?

 

[winslow_wong]

Maybe smith and Bellamy can come give us a pep talk this week too. I’m sure they told the warriors to give us a flogging though
