The Longer Macca stays in the starting side the less I want Seibold as the coach, I get that he has a 3 year contract (and paying him out would be suicide for our staff budget as that has a cap now as well) and there has been a tonne of movement in the side this year, but he has offloaded alot better players and seems unwilling with the biggest dead weight in the team.yeah there is ... you can't play 3 hookers.
Dearden will be back before too long, and i think Turps is likely to play the bench hooker role.
Still he could have had Segeyaro play 80. Why waste a bench spot on rake when we could have an outside back or a forward handy?How do you know if Seibold knows or not? We’ve had no halves for 3 weeks. It’s what seibold does once a halfback is available that will show the full story.

Once Gillett returns, Carrigan or Flegler drops out because of this. Even Perese would suit the team better incase of HIA instead of Macca.

Get over your Seibold v Bennett agenda mate.your hero...
Every ISC expert on here said the same about Turpin. But guess what he can play 80 just fine at rake and at half. Im sure the Dally M winning hooker can do 80 just fine without cramping after serving lattes 3Seggy was pouring lattes a couple weeks ago. He rarely played 80 minute games during his career, surely he isn’t up for it now.
Get over your Seibold v Bennett agenda mate.
Clouding your judgement in every argument you make.
Parker, Hodges and Ennis are not so subtle on Fox. The whole world knows except Seibold.
Get over it guys, we are stuck with him till 2021.
A couple of plays stood out to me on Saturday.
In the first half when the Broncos were being bent over, Milford got an offload away to McCullough to open up space out-wide. McCullough spends a good second to assess the situation, spots the attack has plenty to space to maneuver in but instead of giving it, he stammers and hands it back inside to Turpin who gets dominated in the tackle. Next play, Milford has to beat two defenders just to get a kick away and the Warriors begin their set 35m out from their try-line.
That second try to Issac Luke came off the back of two defensive lapses from McCullough. The first the Warriors caught him out at second marker by turning it back inside to Nikorima who beat him for pace and created half a chance for Ah Mau. Then the next play he rushes up on Green but doesn't even consider taking him, falls for the dummy and the Warriors were able to expose Pangai who had a mare of a defensive performance himself. It was cruel what Kodi was doing to Tevita in that first half.
Attacking the line two plays stand out. Tackle 3, Brisbane lined out to the right where they've got Blair, Nikorima and Hiku defending together and Macca plays short to Carrigan who was doing a decoy run. Brisbane get a reprieve later on with another set of six, McCullough sends it out-wide but actually throws it behind Turpin who has to jump for it, Pangai has to stop then start his run and actually makes decent head-way. Couple of plays later, Turpin has his regulatory brain explosion of the game ending what should have been Brisbane's opportunity to hit back and go into half-time with some belief.
What Segeyaro does differently is that he works with his halves more. It probably hasn't been as effective as it should be at the Broncos just yet, but you can understand why the fans notice a change. His actual service though is very iffy, he threw the worst pass of the night and was lucky the Broncos got a good result off of it.
Difference between Segeyaro and McCullough is that while he has his shortcomings, he actually is a threat in attack and gets our forwards rolling like McCullough can't.
McCullough has always been a terrible decision making in the attacking 20 (just watch the 2015 grand final...) but now he is even less effective as his defence is not good enough to counteract that.
What concerns me is that for all this talk of Turpin and Segs' improving the attack, it hasn't really shown on the scoreboard.
If you look at all the time these two have been at dummy half, these are the amount of points that have come about.
26 vs. Manly
15 vs. Sydney
8 vs. Warriors
4 vs. Parramatta
6 vs. Newcastle
12 vs. Cronulla
6 vs. Warriors
Don't get me wrong, the Broncos aren't getting enough out of dummy half, but I don't think Turpin or Segs are really banging the door down either.
Segs' has a much better running game, but I also think he puts his supports in two minds. They never know when to expect the pass, which was illustrated in the dying seconds against the Warriors.
