What about Hodges to FB, and Joel Moon to centre?

 

[El Diablo]

Lockyer may also be out with a knee injury FSN said. nothing confirmed though

 

[Karmawave]

Lockyer is out.

*Changes tip*

How would this shift the side around?

I take it Perry will be called up?

 

[ethos]

I'd like to see Moon give a chance at 5/8.

 

[Big Pete]

You're right DownUnder. Lockyer is also out, no word on who's replacing him but don't expect Shane Perry too as he's also out with an injury. My bet is on young Joel Moon.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

hodges or locky will end up at the back after darius drops the first 3.

 

[Big Pete]

Hodges or Kemp* Lockyer is out remember.

Boyd is deceptively good at Fullback, his defence is superb and he isn't afraid to get his hands dirty.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

whys lockyer out, whose gunna come in.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

Perry 7 Wallace 6?

 

[DeeJ]

I hope Lockyer's injury isn't serious. And Glory Be, he will never play at fullback again.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

what a wste of f**king time getting cuties name cleared.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

we're gunna get carved up

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

I hope Lockyer's injury isn't serious. And Glory Be, he will never play at fullback again.

well im pretty sure i've seen him play there for australia recently, not sure if it was 07 or 06 but the fullback got cleaned up and lockyer played at fullback and also scored a try. And considering cutie was out and wallace can guide the side around he was suely the best option.

 

[Big Pete]

That was because Australia had no one else to play Fullback. Lockyer will never play fullback again unless it's absolutely necessary and with Hodges, Boyd and Kemp in the side it's not going to happen.

I expect Moon to come in, I read somewhere that Perry is out injured.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

if moon plays, we loose.

 

[broncoman]

Eastwood, Carroll or Stagg to start at 6, don't like any of these options, but they are the only options. My guess is Stagg...

 

[Mr Saab]

what a wste of f**king time getting cuties name cleared.

No it was not a waste of time. Why just give in and accept the punishment when you can fight it knowing you have a great chance of being cleared!
Hunt now has 0 carry over points to any further charges that may come his way.
Say he took the 168 points and misses a game and has the 68 carry over.....and then in the last round he committs and offense that is minor but cant be beaten and is 90 points....Hunt would then miss the 1st week of the finals because the Broncos were too lazy to fight something back in March.
Thankfully the Broncos dont share your thinking.

 

[salivor]

Great, losing 2 playmakers at once. Well we've put a lot of raps on Wallace well now we're going to see what he's really got having to control the side all alone.

As for the replacements, personally I think we have to put Hodges at the back now that Lockyer has gone down as well as we're going to need to find some spark from somewhere rather than just restricting him to one side of the field.

I'm also not sure on Moon as a ball player, I'd rather go for putting Ennis in the 6 as Marsh is more than capable of playing the full 80 and if injured then we can shift Ennis there or even Stagg if need be during the game. If not Ennis then Eastwood would be my next choice.

 

[Big Pete]

Superb effort out there tonight by the Broncos. Everyone looked mobile and ready to burst in attack. Our defence was also superb. There were instances there where Bowen was sure to break the line before Stagg would pull him up just short, superb effort and IMO has proven his worth in our side.
