Round 16 vs. Rabbitohs Discussion + Voting

[Big Pete]

Time to give them those pesky Rabbits their receipt for putting their nose in the whole Inglis signing drama and luring him down south.

Brisbane have regrouped well with three wins on the trot after a disappointing month of football and a win here will keep them on level with the five horse race at the top.

We should be welcoming back Hodges, Parker and possibly Gillett for the game and I expect big games from all three, especially Hodges who will be looking to convince selectors he'll be prepared to send Locky out a winner for Origin 3.

Unfortunately, our week hasn't started properly following the suspensions of Sam's consultant McCullough and Hunt but hopefully Baptiste steps up in their absence.

What do you think Broncos fans? Can we win? Do you find delayed telecasts annoying? And who else thinks Baptiste is one of the best reserve hookers in the game?

 

[beads6]

the delayed telecast shits me. we should win up the middle imo

[Snappy]

Is it on TV at 7:30 or 9:30 in Brisbane ?

If 7:30 it doent bother me if there is some delay.

 

[Smiley]

That's our best backline all season. No more Dropley.

9:30.

Kick off is 9:00 Brisbane time.

Agreed, although we may have had that same backline in R3?

Also happy to see Gillett play off the bench, he seems to do best from there.

 

[Snappy]

9:30.

Dam I thought that was the case. That blows then.

 

[IBA]

I'm expecting Copley to lose his bench spot and Norman will take the utility. Shame Dodds is out, he's been going alright and I think i would have prefered him as an extra prop rather than Lui.

Wonder how many minutes Baptiste can play at NRL level? I don't get to see much Toyota Cup - what kind of minutes does he play there?

 

[The Crane]

I like Dodds being out - he seems to get bent backwards almost every time he hits it up lately. Lui is not much better, but he will learn.

Exciting game - just wish it was live.

+1, everyone follow Hala's lead, hits it up hard every time.

 

[Seagullsrock]

Dodds has had shoulder problems since I said he should be dropped to Qld Cup. Kenny has had a similar problem for longer.

 

[IBA]

Fingers crossed Lui steps up.

Reckon they're going to Perth with an 18 man squad for a reason? Broncos rarely travel with any more than the 17. Maybe that game earlier this year where we lost someone (Anderson?) in warm up has been cause. Hodges will probably tear his hamstring walking though the airport...

Most likely since the 20's are playing in Sydney this week.

 

[IBA]

I thought they went with them? I suppose that would explain it... Cheers

Not this week, they are playing at North Sydney Oval on Saturday.

 

[Broncos fan!]

What would happen if we had two injuries in the warm up?

Langer would make his longer awaited comeback.

We would probably play with 16. We only used 16 last week.

 

[jarro]

How are we gonna get there with this Ash cloud thingy still happening ??

All flights to Perth have been cancelled so i've been told

 

[user_nat]

Should clear up by Friday.
