Round 9 - Eels vs. Broncos - Pre-Match Discussion

[Bucking Beads]

With Locky, though, we had that one player with the vision to could direct the attack at the right time. That's missing now, unfortunately, and it doesn't look like anyone currently on the roster has the ability...

Exactly. We still had close to the same game plan but Locky was capable of playing what was in front of him as well.

Kahu in for Maranta, yes!

 

[noisetheory]

Broncos: 1. Corey Norman 2. Josh Hoffman 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Jordan Kahu 6. Scott Prince 7. Peter Wallace 8. Ben Hannant 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Sam Thaiday (C) 11. Matt Gillett 12. Alex Glenn 13. Corey Parker.
Interchange: 14. Ben Hint 15. Scott Anderson 16. David Hala 17. Jarrod Wallace 18. Josh McGuire 19. David Stagg (Two to be omitted).

I'll get heat for this, but If Hodges wasn't playing I reckon Eels would get us in an upset.

 

[noisetheory]

eels will pull their finger out sooner or later and what better time than against the broncos.

 

[IBA]

Anderson and Wallace to drop out barring any other injuries i'd guess.

Glad to see Maranta lose his spot to Kahu. Kahu needs all the game time he can get to see if he is a potential number 1 for next year. Maranta doesn't look to be more than a filler player at the moment.

Sydney teams love to turn it on against us. Always seems to happen.

 

[Culhwch]

Great to see Kahu make it over Maranta. Didn't think it was ever going to happen. Hope he embraces the chance.

Be interesting to see the final makeup of the bench. If McGuire and Stagg both prove fit I fear it will be at the expense of Hala and Wallace...

 

[Alec]

One less round to go until Prince is gone from the side (due to retirement). Makes me optimistic.

 

[Son Edo]

Except for the Dragons, they suck against us lately.

 

[Son Edo]

Big Pete will probably be upset because he doesn't rate Kahu as a winger.

Not having a go at you, mate.

14. Ben Hint 15. Scott Anderson 16. David Hala 17. Josh McGuire

Would be my bench

 

[Coxy]

Surprised nobody's talking about this rookie "Ben Hint" who seems to have relegated Hunt to QLD cup?

 

[Son Edo]

Is that supposed to be a hint?

 

[Culhwch]

He's actually Hunt's cousin from New Zealand.

 

[Morkel]

Kahu in for Maranta. I'll take it!

 

[bb_gun]

Kahu in for Maranta. I'll take it!

It's a good sign that Griffin is perhaps willing to make some changes.

 

[Son Edo]

I wonder if people are going to have a whinge because Kemp wasn't picked instead.

I'm looking at you vertigo.
