Round 9 - Broncos vs Storm - Build Up Thread

[user_nat]

If players need a break, why not rest them when we can win without them. Like.. next week.

2 points could be pretty valuable come September.

 

[Big Pete]

I'd rather not risk it.

I expect Yow Yeh, Hannant and Beale will back up. Apart from the centre position, I believe all the other players are ready to step up and take the opportunity in front of them.

 

[Big Pete]

Unfortunately the achillies is still giving him trouble and two games in two days isn't really an option.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Hodges wont be backing up. Too much of a risk given his injury history.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Unfortunately the achillies is still giving him trouble and two games in two days isn't really an option.

When you think about it, I think its actually 3 games in about 7-9 days, even worse.

Honestly guys if theres a time to rest the big names on rep duty its now when we can afford a loss, last thing we need to do is risk them given their circumstances be it with age or injury. By all means play the likes of Yow Yeh, but Lockyer, Thaiday and Hodges and even Hannant are that important that I'd rest them.

 

[Mister Wright]

The only two players I expect not to be playing are Hodges and Thaiday. Wouldn't mid if Lockyer rests also, would be good to see 2012's halves pairing together. I expect Yow Yeh, Beale & Hannant to play.

 

[jarro65]

Rest the lot of them, we can afford a loss after such a good start to the year

 

[Kaz]

We can still win. Just remember the Tigers game in 2002.

Who am I kidding, we are going to get smashed. [icon_evillaugh

 

[noisetheory]

anyone know if western side top will be opened up? wanting to get maroon seats but there's none available atm.

 

[user_nat]

Kiwi team has actually been named now, and not surprisingly Beale isn't in it. So I guess he will be playing against Melbourne now.

 

[Coxy]

Huh? Wasn't he named at Fullback?

No, he was named in the squad in alphabetical order :P

 

[Kimlo]

Hopefully Baptise stays on the bench and Hoffman is left right out.
I'm very keen to see Baptise play.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Beale in the centres, good lets see how he goes. Still think Norman is hopeless at fullback 95% of the time.

 

[user_nat]

Anyone else not like our kick defusing chances with Norman, Gagai and an unknown?

Doomed to fail.

 

[Charmamba]

Have heard good things about Moylan and from what i have heard i shouldn't be worried about his kick defusing.


Gagai, he has talent there is no doubt, Hopefully he shows it this week

The 1, 6, 7 and 9 are pretty good!

The backrow is nice with SKD in it haha, 2 backs on the bench will also be helpful eusa_think [icon_lol1.
