[rnabokov]

If Hoffman knew how to be a decent ball playing FB, I'd drop Norman in a heartbeat, along with Maranta

Son Edo, Corey Norman has no heart, literally, check out his X-Rays, he has NO heart, he's a robot designed to bring the Broncos down and turn us into a *dun dun dun8 SYDNEY CLUB.

Might as well go with Jordan Kahu. Wally rated him in his Top 4 most talented players. Clearly, Jordan knows how a thing or five about dictation and it's something we sorely need.

Oh and a new coach, preferably somebody with more than 10K posts because Hook knows absolutely nothing about football. Didn't you see he only played David Hala for 13 minutes? Moron!!!!!!

Imagine if no one bagged out the coach or any of the players??? I wonder what we'd do on BHQ!

 

[Broncoman]

Should beat the Banana Peels would be very surprised if we didn't

 

[Big Dave]

The only time Big Petey wants to drop a player is after a win.

 

[Browny]

We should win but no doubt will make it look hard. 2 point win

 

[Huge]

After watching the Eels the other night I felt this was a club truly in crisis. Like others have written we should win and if we do we will make them look good. Aside from Hodges we have no superstars yet even clubs like Parra have some genuine match winners . What happened to our glory days ? Since WB left we haven't attracted any great players...

We never really attracted them. We made them.

This has been done to death.

 

[Son Edo]

Fielding our worst team in the clubs history probably isn't going to help either.

Sing kum-bye-ya.

I don't have a problem with constructive criticism, when the focus of it becomes nit-picks or it's just an overly-negative shallow rant then there isn't a discussion to be had.

I still want Prince dropped. :glare:

Hodges & McGuire should be back next week, those are two big positive changes right there. Maranta is close to a demotion but I don't really know if we have anybody who can come in for him just yet. Berryman is a better finisher but looks a little on the small side, plus his work at the back concerns me while Kemp hasn't played a lot of consistent football this year. I don't rate Kahu as a winger either.

Nor do I but it seems too many people almost seem to take it personally when someone criticises a coach or a player, which is absurd, they're in a public positions, no one is immune to criticism.

I also want Prince dropped, I will be beyond disappointed if he's our 6 for next year too.

Well if he doesn't announce his retirement this year you can bank on it considering he's signed for next year.

Yep and everybody on here is guilty of taking criticism personally.

Another thing we're all guilty of is making knee-jerk reactions. If we were a selection panel, we would have had 40 players play for the side already I reckon and that's what I was poking fun at.

 

[Alec]

I just want one change, dropping Prince and bringing a hooker onto the bench. As it stands now, it's like the club is actually happy about what's going on with the spine. As for the rest of the side, I've got 0 problems with it. I think it's pretty damn good, especially considering how we've got 2 FG starter backs injured.

 

[nopatience101]

Kahu should be taking Maranta's place on the wing. It was great to see his confidence gain and he got more and more comfortable as the game went on and started showing off his footwork and the way he drew in and committed champion and then flicked the ball out to put Maranta away was very impressive for only his second first grade game. Confidence was always going to be the question mark on him because all the skills are there. It would be a shame to send him back to qld cup after seeing how quickly he was adjusting.

That's fair enough.

Personally I'd love to see Hunt take a halves spot from Prince, Baptise on the bench to replace Hunt and one of Kemp/Kahu on the wing for Maranta. I'm pretty happy with the rest of the team.
