Especially given we are possibly losing Herbie as well, so unless that intel is wrong, things are looking eerily bad again.

What is the source of that "intel?"

Well time to give Cobbo the Walsh treatment and let him know we are fully backing him for the next 10 rounds and that he’s allowed to make errors.

Surely 10 weeks of working with Darbs and Reynolds will do something for his yips.

It would be interesting to hear the thoughts on why we did get rid of Isaako and let Arthars go to the Warriors for nothing. Especially given we are possibly losing Herbie as well, so unless that intel is wrong, things are looking eerily bad again.

Salary cap is the answer to both. Just hopeful the club has someone worth while lined up to use it on and it isn’t just to overpay the guys already in the squad.

Same as journalists, this forum.

So is this a conditioning injury?

I'm calling bullshit on it, but I expect it to be true eventually

Poor bastard, finally starting to look decent.

Really? He showed what he always has, flashy in attack occasionally but still a dumb player who sucks under the high ball. Throwing a few good passes doesn't make that go away.

Nah, he was objectively looking better imo

Objectively looking better for 20mins? I don't doubt Tesi could put together a good game or 2. I don't see him ever putting together a strong, consistent season.

Perhaps not. All I’m saying is that first half suggested an upward trajectory and it’s a shame we couldn’t see the outcome, one way or another.

devastated for the kid , jeez broncos can't catch a break.

He had a few games towards the end of last year which showed that same trajectory. Didn't last.

I think that first half the was the best he has looked against quality opposition.

 

[Foordy]

And our decision to get rid of Isaako a year early is becoming more and more a stupid move by the Broncos

hindsight is 20/20

although it's not like he is looking crash hot for the Titans either IMO

 

[Renegade]

well, well, well - isaako, probably.

Speaking of which, Josh Hoffman is still kicking around in Q Cup.

Cobbo to fullback, Pereira to wing, pretty easy swap and JP is going to be a safer option on the wing anyway (more experienced etc).

Cobbo will hopefully have learned from his mistakes and from what I saw (albeit on the TV), he was very vocal in defence, organising numbers and barking orders.

I still have hope that we'll make the finals, this is a setback but a minor one IMO. If we lost Reynolds, for example, season over.
