Graham back for Broncos

Given how we brought McInnes back I can’t see that changing with Wade. Keen as
I still don't think McInness is 100% fit, he played 80 vs storm more due to Finucans and Uele injured, and Fifita has limited minutes.
He then played 53 against Eagles.
I would say he good for 60-65.
Wade should come in for Fifita

I've always wanted to see Graham as a 13 too but eventually understood how much of a left side specialist he is and feel like playing both sides in the middle in that Yeo/Murray type role wouldn't suit his strengths... But maybe he's more adaptable than I think idk, just feel that his kinda hole running VS stop prop and ball play, left foot short kicking game, very occasional switch back right on the edge is his game in its entirety..

Who’s left off the bench? I think it’s either Fifita or Hunt. Brisbane forwards are mobile and those two could get left behind a little with the expected speed of the game. That’s if it is a dry fast track.

Hunt started last week, hopefully he can do similar job as Uele.
Fifita has limited minutes in him, if you added Graham to that we would be carrying guys not expecting many minutes.
Bench for me.
Tolman.
McInness.
Williams.
Graham

Get Wade a trainer's shirt asap. Looked like he had swallowed a sheep and offered nothing. Notice his leadership when we needed direction? Neither.

Wilton was very solid.

Wilton needs to clean up his dumb penalties/set restarts. He's also good for a few in a game.
I said this a few weeks ago - really stupid, careless penalties/set restarts.

I’ve also said (to many peoples disgust), Wade is cooked.

I love what Wade has done for the Sharks , but , i said this last year and i will repeat it , he looks like he's running in treacle , his leg speed has completely gone . I know it was his first game this season but , and i hate myself for saying it , he looks like an old pro that thinks he still has it , no amount of fitness brings it back .
Happy to come on in a few weeks a say i got it wrong , but i've seen this many times , sometimes you just have to admit your time is up .

First game sure, but it ain’t looking great. Take the coin and go to France Wade.
And dump the captaincy of offered anointing Finucane.

What a mistake bringing this slug back. Killed the left hand attack. Should've been in Jets for a couple of weeks

Yeah shit.. what happens next week? Feel like they'll persevere with him on the bench but needs some time in those legs for sure

Thank fekk you guys have identified the reason for the loss against the Broncos. Here I was thinking every player was mud.

So far the forum majority seems to have a preference for Fifita, Graham, Trindall, Moylan, Williams, Tolman to be gone. Add Hiroti in as well I guess.

In Fitz we trust! :rolleyes:

Pretty astute summation Frenzy.

it’s was a pretty shitty performance overall, but I’m not sure why people are cutting wrists and throwing dog turds at individuals.
Poor game where there whole side looked tired and unable to lift. Move on, it happens

Just showed where we're actually at as a side which has disappointed the forum components who bought in, projected as anger at players who have faces to be mad at..

We're not a genuine top 4 side, but the comp being how it is we have a good chance of being up there.. the Broncos game was an inexperience, communication and structural issue with a bunch of guys thrown together to fill in and re-learn roles etc etc added to a halves pairing still figuring out how to construct their sets... Don't think anyone looks at that 17 and thinks its final yet.

I don't reckon we'll know for sure what we are until the post-origin reset.. the bench make up, spine clicking or not, outside backs and balance of the pack rotation are all kinds up in the air and we're 50:50 when we come up against anyone who sticks it to us.. nothing to cry and stress about, but I reckon some expectation management is in order! 6th placed team imo
