Late change for Broncos game

[Iafeta]

Ripper. That speed merchant Toddy Byrne comes in for Nathan Fien on the bench who is out with injury. Cooper Vuna is 18th man.

Koopu, Fien, Martin, Tuakara and Fai were all unavailable injured.

 

[Jesbass]

Not a single available player is missing out! :lol:

 

[ozbash]

toddy at hooker ? interesting.

 

[da mad maori]

Looks like Hohaia could go walkabout during the game.

 

[Iafeta]

I'd say Lance will slide into hooker and Todd Byrne will go to centre as the game progesses.

Exactly my thoughts. That'll give Gatis a breather on the bench.

That is brilliant hyperbole Feka. And while we are at it...

That man mountain, Nathan Fein
Jerome " the rock" Ropati
Fabio-alias Simon Mannering...etc, brilliant:lol::lol::lol:

 

[Martli]

Could also be a chance to test Paddy Ah Van at centre if it seems reasonable to do so.

 

[Esoj]

kinda like ropati playing at 6 right :lol:

obviously byrne would play center with hohaia shifting to hooker and gatis goes to the bench for a breather.

 

[Sanchez]

that was the plan with vuna but he didnt even get a run

 

[Kakihara]

Interesting to note - win lose or draw against the Broncos, had we not been deducted 4 points for the salary cap breach we would of made the 8 with Parramatta losing against the Cowboys.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

I dont like having a winger/centree on the bench. Waste of an interchange. Still could see Mannering in the pack or Gatis playin the whole 80.

Heard on the radio thats its Webke week and they have pre sold 40.000 tickets all ready

True, and I reckon Ivan would have learned that lesson after Vuna sat on the bench for the full 80 during the Storm game.

Maybe Byrne will start and Hohaia will come off the bench instead as cover for the 6/7/9 jerseys? Or maybe Mannering to the forwards? Or maybe Vatuvei will be given a rest? (He was quiet last week, still carrying an injury perhaps?)

All will be revealed tomorrow I guess.

kinda like ropati playing at 6 right dont start me esog. dont want to bugger up fekas thread.:roll:

 

[Daniel Anderson]

I never wasted m,y interchanges

 

[Scott]

I'd still like to see Hohaia play out in the centres for the duration.

Just play 16. It worked in Melbourne. ;-)

 

[playdaball]

Byrne - When did he last play? Why is it that he seems to be excempt from playing BC Cup games?

Is his BC team still playing?

 

[Sel Pearson]

There are only 18 fit players to choose from

lol calm down it was an obvious joke. and it's esoj btw no g on the end.

I somehow don't see clearly suddenly changing the starting lineup and bringing byrne in who hasn't played for a good few months.

it is odd having byrne on the bench but cleary wasn't left with much choice with the other players being injured.
