Storm Vs. Broncos - Build Up Thread

[Nashy]

Marsh's career is long over IMO.

Fixed.

 

[Coxy]

No, I just don't think Glenn will start in the 7.
Yes, I think Ben Hunt will be called up.

The Broncos have the distinct advantage that the NYC team will be playing at the same venue on the same night, and thus Hunt can be interchanged in at the last minute.

Plus Hunt has been running at halfback in training drills for months. This week would be no different. The Broncos can play complete mind games and have him there at the last minute with no speculation.

I didn't realise they were playing at the same venue. If what you're saying is true, I think it will come out very very soon

I can see Glenn & McCullough switching positions throughout the night. It's great to have Teo back on the bench. I actually don't mind the thought of Glenn in the 7. K can take over a bit more of the attacking kicks as well don't forget.

As long as our forwards perform we can win. Melbourne have had a soft run into the finals, their game looked so clinical against Manly because Manly didn't have a half back to organise them. They were a complete rabble.

 

[Coxy]

Not necessarily. People can speculate but the only way anyone will know is when Hunt doesn't line up for the Under 20s ;-)

It would make total sense having him there. He would run all the plays Wallace does at training, so it wouldn't be out of nowhere.

I'm not saying it will happen. But it's what I would do if I was Ivan.

Those who follow any of the Broncos on Twitter, keep an eye out. Players are notoriously bad at keeping secrets! :P

 

[Je$ter]

ddd really needs to get off the crack pipe. Cronk over-rated? Smith past it? Seriously hate the Storm all you want, but those comments are ridiculous. As far as forward packs go, they match up evenly, but as Coxy said Melbourne is clinical so tight spots have to be on their toes all game.

FWIW, there is no way Alex Glenn will be playing halfback. He will drop back to the bench and Marsh or more likely Hunt will come in.

But who does that leave to be dropped? Carroll?

 

[Coxy]

If anyone's going to get dropped out it'd be Te'o to be honest.

 

[mrslong]

I'd be horrified if they dropped Carroll, his experience and level headedness is what we need. I agree that they'd have to drop Teo. Carroll is tried and tested, and no matter what anyone thinks, no Storm player is going to feel 100% comfortable having him running at them!!! (actually, no Storm player is going to want Kenny or Sims running at them either) muwhahahaha.........

 

[Coxy]

And Locky has defended infinitely better since he's had Carroll hunting with him.

 

[mrslong]

Yep, 100% and not too mention the affect he has on some of the other players in the team, just having him out there putting shots on and talking to the troops is worth it's weight in Gold.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Another Bennettesque selection IMO. I am not sure whether Glenn will actually play I wouldn't be surprised if Glenn or Marsh are running at halfback at training.

 

[Foordy]

I believe that Glenn has played a bit of 5/8 before so, i could see if Hunt doesn't get a call up Lockyer playing first receiver and Glenn playing as a second receiver

 

[Captain Staros]

And Locky has defended infinitely better since he's had Carroll hunting with him.

Chinny Carroll and The Big D side by side make me weep with pride and joy.

 

[jarro65]

I think Glenn will go Ok at halfback.

His defence will be fantastic ... and this is an area the Broncos have said they need to be on top of if they are to beat the Storm.

I'm not sure on the state of his kicking game though, so that could be one area we are let down in ...... we need more than one kicking option in general play (apart from Locky)

 

[Charmamba]

we will dont worry.

KHunt will step up. as will MC

 

[lyn]

If we win I think McCullough will get MOTM.

 

[Bucking Beads]

If we win I think McCullough will get MOTM.

wrong Billy Slater wil get it

 

[Alec]

I reckon Lockyer will get it. I really think we will win. And Lockyer will lift to god level.
