Round 13 | Broncos 50-24 Knights @ Suncorp | Sun 3pm

[G.I.]

Taia injured or dropped?

 

[Big Tim]

At least we wont have a drop in intensity when Faas comes on for Willie.

May be the thing we need to keep us on the right path.

 

[Yosh]

Quote the article...

"A switch to the second row has worked wonders for Joel Edwards who will start for the Knights this week"

WAH???

*how do you add a pic to your post btw...

 

[perverse]

Zeb deserved to be dropped. he was a big part of the drop in intensity. I dunno about Eddy and the wonders...

Richie back in the team makes sense. i can only assume off-field reasons are keeping him out of the top 17... at least he runs with serious vigor and has a crack.

I wouldnt expect him to be named in the side, considering he got here about 10 minutes ago. I would think he is still a good chance to play, pending training this week.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Yeah fair call

Both Hilder and Taia gone from the side and Adams and Richie in

 

[perverse]

yeah, they are good changes. funny that both blokes that let the Nate Myles try in have been dropped. i would have dropped them both on that one alone, too. soft as bird shit.

 

[RABK]

On the contrary the Bird try just showed us how much we lack dynamic backrowers outwide. Mullen is a f**king strong Mofo but Bird stepped and shrugged him off like he was Preston Campbell and then did another step to beat the inside defenders. Just class, very hard to defend even though it was 2 on 3 our way.

 

[Jono078]

So Hilder and Taia are the first, and probably the 2 most deserving of being dropped.

Edwards, Cuthbertson and Costigan are lucky as far as I'm concerned.

I think Adams will be a permanent fixture in the 17 if he has a dig each game from now on.

I think Costigan has to stay. He a winner and hopefully with some more skillful players around him, he'll be able to shine like he did while he played for the Dragons.

 

[perverse]

i haven't had too much drama with Nev lately. he's pulling his socks up a bit and improving.

 

[aqua_duck]

Is Eddy the new Ciraldo or something?





On second thoughts I'd actually probably prefer Ciraldo

 

[Johns Magic]

Never thought I'd say this because I was the first to jump on his bandwagon years ago, but I'm looking forward to the back of Taia. The whole relationship's gone stale.

Hilder's decline is a bit of a mystery to me. If there was one thing you could count on from him it was hard work. That's just vanished from his game this year.

I wonder if we'll see him released early. He only re-signed last year.

yeah it's all very disappointing, but i agree. the relationship going stale is a good way of putting it. he's just not the Zeb we used to know... and was f**king tragic against the Tits.

yeah Hilder dropping off is just bizarre. i thought he and Wayne would be like cheese and bacon, but apparently not so.

 

[Jono078]

Yeah, shame what's happened with Hilder.

Was always reliable and you'd never question his heart.

Something mustn't be right with him this year.

With Nev. He just makes that one dumb error a game, he'll have a crucial missed tackle a game and his fitness has been horrendous this year.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Adams will be good for the team and the dummy half spark will remain when he comes on. Unlike when Hilder comes on and we look terrible.

Faas will add impact but I can still see us being dominated when Snowy and Willie take a break. That Broncos pack is probably the most in form pack we have encountered this year, if any of our forwards is even a little lazy they will be found out.

 

[EdLondon]

Would have liked to have seen 2 more changes. Edwards for Tui and Cuthberson for Tets. 2 big guys and impact with Tets. Also can't wait for Dane to slot into Juniors spot.
