PRE-GAME Round 9 - Sharks vs Broncos

[Old Mate]

Keep everything else the same.

Bring in Waddell. He will only be playing for about 20-30 minutes.

Leave everyone else where they are.

We do not need to move our best prop to hooker.

I'm confident we can win this game.. Even with Waddell at hooker.

This. **** making mass changes, even if it means Waddell...

Unless the Broncos can find a different camera angle that proves Blair's innocence, the judiciary will back the MRC's view.

If he cops a Grade 1, the Broncos will just have to cop it. Anymore and then it's time to start talking about precedence and get the judiciary to wake up to themselves because it wasn't that bad.

Either way, I see Thaiday pushing to prop with Alex Glenn coming on as an edge backrow.

Waddell in as starting hooker. I understand the hesitance and often agree it's better to go with a new face rather than a proven failure. However, Waddell has shown he can handle the defensive workload and at least deserves the opportunity.

Outside of that, I'd keep the same side that's gotten the job done for us 7/8 times this season. I'm excited to see how they'll go on a Sunday afternoon. Shark Park is a tough place to travel to so the Broncos should be chuffed with the two points anyway they can get them.

This. The Sharks are playing seriously well. Keep our structures and keep developing them.

Keep working the combinations, let Hunt and Milford release the weapons on both sides and defend like we know we can.

And send Sammy on a search and destroy mission on Fifita like he did on JWH last year.

Fafita is a cat.

JWH kept coming. That's what made it good.

Based on yesterday, Sharks can't hold us down the edges.

Lewis is gone. He'll get suspended for a high shot yesterday.

 

[Brent81]

Just watching the replay.

No fucking way Blair gets charged let alone suspended.

It's a clear head clash. A head clash is not illegal.

Penalty for a late tackle and that's it.

Broncos need to fight it.

 

[sus]

blair to get 10 weeks (9weeks + 1 for reynolds ref touch)

 

[tommy]

I think we are due for a loss sometime in the next few weeks. Not that I'm hoping but it will keep them grounded.Will suck if it's against Sharks, Eagles or Cowboys though.

 

[Brent81]

Ps Jarrod Wallace (have a look at his metres) and Joe O for the first time have worked out that they can stand up to a big pack.

They will stand up to Sharks pack.

Wowee

That's just it... We won't fight it, Bennett would rather plead guilty and loose him for 1 week than roll the dice and risk loosing him for 3. It's bull****

 

[Broncoman]

Ok I just had another look at Blair's hit on Reynolds and I still maintain that Blair could've pulled out of that and he was using his left arm as well, so they have do have a case for suspension. The possibility that Reynolds might've broken his jaw will be used against Blair.

Best to just take a guilty plea and get it over with.

 

[Fozz]

I find it amusing that Reynolds will have to wait until Tuesday to find out if he has a broken jaw according the news reports I've read. Are the X-Ray machines on holiday or is the diagnosis in a sealed envelope that he can't open until Blair has faced the judicary?

 

[Fernando]

^Same thing they did to Graham last season isn't it?

 

[Battler]

Mautolino wasn't even charged for a late shoulder charge that injured Oates. Blair should be right if precedents are anything to go by.

EDIT: And Tapau earlier in the year. I also love that intentional trips are A OK in the NRL now.

 

[Fat Gandalf]

Looks like Blairs got a 1 match ban even with an early guilty plea. Good news for us!

Offa will be free to play the sharks with an early guilt plea as well for his grade 1.

Blair, Carter face one-match bans - NRL.com

Bullshit!

The charge demonstrates how desparately they searched the book for a charge because it was a fucking head clash.

And you deliberately trip a bloke and you get a fucking week.

That will fucking do me.

 

[Unbreakable]

Don't bother fighting it imo, just take the week.

 

[winslow_wong]

Offas charge was ridiculous in the first place. I swear tackling will be banned one day and we'll have a national touch competition and then eventually touch will be too violent.
