Suspended Round 3 - Titans vs Broncos

[Marty Deutschmann]

I think we'll be in really good position to win this thing this year once it comes back...

1. It'll be mostly based in QLD it seems so we'll have full home turf advantage and the least affected lifestyle and be used to the climate

2. We're one of the more rich clubs in the league so surely we can maintain most of our football department support staff salaries ..?

3. We will have most of our top squad back who were injured or in doubt

4. When crowds are allowed back, we may have a semi and grand final on home soil.

5. Cause win FFS

If we win this year we'll never hear the end of "wasn't a proper season doesn't count"

You mean just like how the ‘97 ARL season was the only ‘real’ season and the Super League was an inferior competition, even though we came along in ‘98 after winning SL and destroyed all and sundry?

Sounds about right.

Gold Coast made the ARL finals FFS and if you look at the 90's grand final teams they were dominated by Super league teams, hell all finals sides bar the Sharks in Superleague 1997 won a premiership in the 90's. The superleague competition was the superior competition.

Talk is starting to grow of this conference system and also stripping all clubs of any points earned this year.
For us it would be shit as we are 2/2. A team like the roosters who are 0/2 would largely benefit.
IF this eventuates, they’re basically telling us that the first 2 rounds didn’t mean shit and we should be telling them that TPJ’s suspension also shouldn’t mean shit.
But we all know we will just get fkd over by it instead..

Yes it totally was, but nobody ever talks about the 97 SL Grand Final except Broncos fans. Even when Fox does GF replays, they only show 97 ARL. It's an absolute disgrace.

Oh man that is SO true. If the points are removed, they are saying the rounds didn't happen. Therefore 100% any suspensions didn't happen either.
You either restart the comp from scratch, or you don't. Not half half.

Broncos lose 4 points and lose TPJ for a THIRD of the season, that is a acceptable win for all (the 'media') in their eyes regardless of anything else.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Players can be suspended in international matches and rep games.

 

[Kyall]

Hopefully Milford has kept training hard to keep fit for not only this game but season.

I would have Hoppa in over Kennedy, Hoppa showed some real impact and force in the 1st 2 games.

 

[Unbreakable]

Confirmed in the Daily Telegraph that Lodge, Glenn, Croft, Oates & Kahu are all 100% fit and will be available for Round 3.

Good but can't see Kahu getting a start in the 17.

 

[Unbreakable]

Good but can't see Kahu getting a start in the 17.

He's no chance.

Was more so just informing that he was recovered from his shoulder injury and available.

Agree.
He will just add more depth to our outside backs in case of injuries.
