Same here big pete, can't watch the game.

Interested to see how some of the younger guys go in particular Gagai, Copley and Lingwoodock.

 

[Smiley]

Good to see Ogden getting a chance. Really like what I've seen of him in the QCup.

Surprised not to see Ahern named.

 

[ethos]

The trial's actually on the 12th Big Pete.

But there's a lot to look forward to in that lineup. Interested in the whole backline really, especially the halves and Gagai at the back. Plus Dodds and McGuire and even Carlaw in the forwards.

I should be going to the game, so can give you my 2 cents.

 

[Broncos fan!]

Agreed. From what I have seen of him in QLD Cup he is a great talent. I was stoked when i read the lineup and saw his name.

 

[Big Pete]

Thanks for the heads up ethos, thought it was the 12th originally but got my wires crossed, probably because of how early they announced the side.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Ogden is a good finisher but he can't tackle. I'll be there for Wynnum's game. Not sure if I'll stick around considering Wynnum could beat those two squads. It's Tweed Heads vs the rest of the Qld Cup.

I'll be at the game creaming myself over Kempy.... Hope he goes well if not oh well he gave me some quality sessions...

 

[Country Bronco]

Hi all,
As the players have a off season, I have a break from all things rugby league as well. Its good to be back though and look forward to supporting the broncos.

As for this trial. I see it as a run for some players and a challenge to step up for selection for other players.

And beads. Noone I know loves kemp as much as you. Hopefully we get to see a lot of kemp this year. Might want to put disposables on beads if thats the case. lol

 

[Seagullsrock]

Te Reo's out with a groin strain and Gagai will be playing in the 20s trial. I won't be there for either of the Broncos games but if you want a review of Wynnum's trial, I'm happy to help.

 

[Seagullsrock]

In relation to Gagai, he's been dumped from the NRL squad if you were wondering why he's playing 20s.

Any reason why he was dropped?? Bad behave or poor training or something else??

[Steve_oneskie]

Hunt to Captain

 

[6TimePremiers]

42-18, seems an impress start for the youngens in the squad.. Anyone happen to go out to Wynnum and watch it?

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Yeah I was at the game (the NRL trial only). Yeah I thought that wasn't Gagai at #1. Seagulls can you please let us know why Gagai has been dumped? Pretty big blow for the Broncos so early on as he was tipped to do great things!

Back to the game. It's quite an amazing scoreline given how bad our ball control was how many penalties we gave away (and yes there were at least two against in the play the ball area, one for walking off the mark and the other for not playing it with the foot). Our goal line defence was a bit brittle. Anyway its a positive that we won by so much because there is lots of room for improvement.

Our outside backs didn't get that much ball, hard to fault anything they did, but Copley looked pretty good though. Managed to finish off a few slick backline movements, Hunt and Norman were dangerous enough. Baptiste was quite good at the start of the game. Carlaw was quite ineffective tbh.

The hooker for the Titans (name?) was easily their best player.

 

[Titanic]

Srama ... my pick to start until Friend comes back.

The refs are cracking down on play the ball infringements in Qld Cup as well. They were at least 7 penalties against the team in possession. The reasons for Gagai's dumping will come out (in the media) this week I'd imagine. It's not my go to be reporting what I've heard but it's a combination of a few things.

Thanks for the info and appreciate that you cant say.
