PRE-GAME Round 9 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos

[Unbreakable]

Shibasaki is training at right wing, Bird is training at right centre, Staggs is training at left centre.

To me that indicates Roberts is 100% gone.

They wouldn't be shifting Bird to Roberts side of the field unless he's gone I'd say.

So Dearden to takeover kicking duties? Still don't see what Shibasaki offers..? But seeing as he's always in the mix I must be missing something. Does anyone see him being a solid winger?

 

[GCBRONCO]

Would this leave Milford to the goalkicking?

 

[ChewThePhatt]

Sure I read somewhere Staggs kicks goals...?

Pretty sure Dearden's got a good boot on him.

His stats are impressive in QCUP this year, although he's playing centre.

4 games - 2 tries, 1 line-break, 21 tackle busts, 176 running metres per game.

So you think Seibs has Isaako getting sometime in qcup to make a case for a shift to fullback?

[BroncsNBundy]

I wonder if Isaako is just being prepared for NRL fullback role? Maybe give Boyd a break?

Doh.... beaten to it lol

 

[Foordy]

David Fifita has also reportedly been training in the opposition team

On the week we sold our back up hooker

Staggs or Dearden I reckon

Team isn't playing well but surely some black cats, ladders, mirrors and Wayne Bennett hex involved.

McCullough suffers knee injury at Broncos training

Brisbane hooker Andrew McCullough has sent an injury scare through the Brisbane camp after suffering damage to his knee during a training drill.

Maybe another new face at hooker too.

 

[Unbreakable]

Looking like an ACL for McCullough, FFS.

If we thought our defense was bad with him, wait till you see it without him.

 

[mitch222]

Is Turpin even around at the moment?

Maybe so but what if we lose a bit in defence but gain a lot more in attack?

 

[Unbreakable]

Yeah, still playing Hooker for the Dolphins. Not playing too bad based on the stats (Haven't seen any vision of him this year)

6 games - 1 try, 2 try assists, 3 line-break assists, 3 forced dropouts. 28 tackles per game @ 94% efficiency
