Rnd 3 Team List vs Broncos

[Noise]

I’d rather him in the 17 over Terepo (and Stone once Reed gets a bit more fitness)

At least Terepo can bust the occasional tackle. I'd prefer Kaufusi. And Brown will be back when Reed is back to full fitness.

13. Alvaro

14. Taka
15. Stone
16. Evans
17. Niukore

profit???

Like rugby league royalty including Nat Butcher, Slade Griffin, Sam Tagataese, Gerard Beale, and Rory Kotjasyn?

Lol. Let alone all the plodders those teams went through during the year

Laff it up, chuckles. Wring it for what it's worth.

Nuffies always go better with quality team mates around them.

Well, that at least explains in part why we haven't jagged a title in 33 years.

Anyone else get the feeling there is going to be a pretty big thud of the Eels coming back down to earth on Thursday night? Too much hype around us for my liking!

Also revenge factor coming into play. Our guys are feeling like they already got the life.

Yeah I’d probably prefer Kaufusi as well, but penis hands is right down the list for mine.

Was thinking about this today. So I’m expecting a thud, but am looking forward to being pleasantly surprised.

You’re not the only one.
We didn’t play all that well the first two games. We are on top because we played the two worst teams in the comp. I’m hoping the team has sorted some of their attacking woes before Thursday night, although I’m not sure how after having such a massive break.

Don’t see the point in carrying Taka and Stone. The broncos pack is massive even without Fifita and having 2 utility forwards on the bench seems to have us undermanned. I’d be looking to drop Taka for Kaufusi on game day

The Broncos pack is also slow and I'd say we're looking to exploit that. With Takairangi on the bench Lane will spend some time in the middle too.

Our pack that belted them in last year's final was:

Alvaro
Mahoney
Paulo
Lane
Ma'u
Brown
Takairangi
Stone
Niukore
Moeroa

So we've replaced Alvaro, Ma'u, Brown and Moeroa with RCG, Matterson, Evans and Terepo. I'd say this week's pack is bigger.

They just need to put their A.D.I.D.A.S on and get stuck in.

Agree .... but there as been a fair bit of broncos hype too. They might suffer similarly

It’s what this club does best, hoping to be pleasantly surprised.

We will get belted, imo.

But for some reason, I won't really care; guess psyched for season 2020, with the best roster we have had since 2005, but once coronavirus struck, and the season was suspended, I stopped caring as much.
