R19 vs Broncos

[OldPanther]

Without an off season training and the extra defence workload is just crazy

Yeah but working hamstrings is a big bonus.

 

[franklin2323]

But all of the options Peachey provides arr pretty shit

Whare pushes to fullback. Blake moves to right centre. Peachey at left. Or worse Peachey plays right which I don't recall him doing for us

Or Peachey plays 6.

Luai could come straight in for either with no shuffle at all, and would be better than Whare at fullback or Peachey at 6.

Granted that's only if either player can't get through the game. But if there's any doubt at all Luai and May are better utility options.

I wouldn't of risked DWZ but I am no doctor. You'd think they'd be sure he'd get through or wouldn't risk him

Broncos confirm Isaako to start at fullback, Boyd moves to centre

WAYNE Bennett is set to make a shock switch to his backline for the match against the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium tomorrow night.

Bennett confirmed today he could re-jig his backline in a decision that will move captain Darius Boyd into the centres.

That will let young talent Jamayne Isaako move back to full back and Jordan Kahu onto the wing.

While the move does not change the make-up of the starting side, it will mean the Broncos present a different attacking unit with Boyd in the front line.
Boyd is a solid defender, underlined last week when he made a crunching one-on-one try saver against the Warriors.

The switch also lets Isaako play in the position where he so impressed in the Intrust Super Cup last season before graduating to the NRL this year.

Kahu has also played plenty of games on the wing, so the task will not be new for him.

Tevita Pangai junior got through training this morning and will make a return from a hamstring injury when he starts in the second row.

wtf

 

[TheFrog]

Billy and Waqa have the old codger shitting like a big black alsation.

 

[OldPanther]

wtf

From what I can tell they aren't allowed to start Kotoni Staggs and Kahu isn't trusted at centre with Isaako being the long term fullback. Boyd will have less running on his dodgy legs as well.

This is what I'm getting from Horse fans.

His hammy has been a 'manage job' for the past month or so. It's why he didn't kick against the Warriors I read.

 

[hindy111]

When Rcg back who drops out Leota or Hethrington ?

or keep both and put Peach at centre and Whare on wing for crighton?

I reckon the most dangerous would be keep team as is.
Have Jerome Luai at fullback and DWZ on wing. Drop Crighton
Then decide who spot Rcg takes.

Peach doesn't have the defence or fitness to start hopefully he is bench all year.

I'd go Leota. Hetherington is further behind and is more likely to have a brain snap which might cost us in a final

 

[hindy111]

Luai/Crighton?
Crighton give more grunt while Luai brilliance.

 

[TheFrog]

Leota hasn't hit his straps since returning from injury but was in career-best form earlier in the season. If he can get back to that sort of form he'll be massive in the finals.

Leota has an error to Hetherington's Penalty. Leota is further along as you said but it's close.

Probably Crighton cause he's a bigger body and a specialist centre. Lui would be 'ragged dolled' too easily. He does better in the halves or at the back

Why can't they start Kotoni?

Why can't they start Kotoni?

I dont think he's in their top 30? I might be wrong though.

Yeah that makes sense. Thanks.

 

[betcats]

I don’t think Jerome is flying home I think his partner and child might be flying north.

Jerome was at the captains run today.

He beastrd in the warriors game two weeks ago. Every involvement defensively or offensively was super strong.

As was said not in the top 30

In a source of frustration for Bennett, in-form centre Kotoni Staggs will be on the interchange bench thanks to NRL laws denying him a start.

Staggs is not in the side's top 30 contracted players but has impressed enough to seemingly leapfrog fellow outside back Tom Opacic in the pecking order. NRL laws dictate that a player outside the top 30 contracted list cannot start if a suitable replacement is available.

Staggs was impressive in the starting side last week - a move granted thanks to the side's missing Origin stars - and has been given an exemption to play off the bench against the Warriors.
