Round 5 vs. Sydney Roosters Discussion + Voting

[andrew057]

McGuire was extremely impressive vs. Warriors. More so than Sims imo.

Good Friday: a time to remember the sacrafice Jesus Christ made for humanity. As a result of Jesus' great gift we were blessed with a number of lifes gifts including Friday Night Football!

It's that time of year folks where two of the classier sides in the NRL square off. Through out its brief history the Good Friday clash has produced some amazing contests. Who could forget the inaugrel match where the Roosters pulled up 20-18 winners? Or how about last years clash? Filled with drama and heroics the Broncos managed to draw an unlikely 16-12 victory.

What will this years game produce? Well I'll leave the speculation for later (and to fellow members!). As a Broncos fan I see our side lining up as:

1. Karmichael Hunt
2. Antonio Winterstein
3. Steve Michaels
4. Justin Hodges
5. Israel Folau
6. Darren Lockyer
7. Peter Wallace
8. Nick Kenny
9. Aaron Gorrell
10. Joel Clinton
11. Sam Thaiday
12. Lagi Setu
13. Corey Parker

14. Andrew McCullough
15. Dave Taylor
16. Josh McGuire
17. Alex Glenn

Best of luck Roosters supporters and lets show the Rugby League world what our sides are capable of.

Here they are for the weekend

1. K. Hunt
2. A. Weinstein
3. S. Michaels
4. J. Hodges

9. A. Gorrell
10. J. Clinton
11. S. Thaiday

How many have we won on the trot against the Chooks now? Surely they're due.

Jeez don't remind us. :lol:
We last got you in 05 I think...

*checking stats*
Only four. Thought it was more...

 

[Non Terminator]

And best of luck to the Broncos, not that you'll need it.

I'll be there and I can't wait (even though we'll get smashed.) Good Friday is always a great game, although I probably shouldn't go since the last time I went to a Good Friday game and we won was in 2000.

Good luck to the Broncos. Pretty much the only set of supporters on here who don't go ape sh*t mental when you win a game, very respectful after the game, always a pleasure.

And locky, if you aren't happy with Winterstein I'll gladly take him back.



We haven't beaten you since we last played you up at Suncorp in 05. We are not due until we play you there again :lol:

Tbh the vast majority of us are fairly good to the opposition win or lose. Dragons are the most arrogant wankers out...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

If you take me out then we're a fairly good bunch.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

McGuire is in for Teo who is out with an ankle injury. Setu moves into the starting line up and McGuire onto the bench.

How things change. Last week one prop on the bench ... this week three.

IMO should be 3 every week.. over the last few seasons we seem to be going away from the big forward bench.. other teams still do it though, like Manly

Good post Tonearm.

I'm excited for this game for some reason, waiting all day for this one. I don't understand why we never play the Roosters at Suncorp.

Our good old Broncos aren't what they used to be, but I'm still hoping for an upset!
:BDH:

If Sydney doesn't beat them by at least 5 points, they have lost in my books

2009 - the year Freddy Fittler starts looking at other career options.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

How can it be an upset when you're favourites?

Easily favourites too.

heading off to the game now, good luck ponies!

2 - Sam Thaiday
1 - Nick Kenny
1 - Joel Clinton
1 - Antonio Winterstein

It appears we havn't learnt anything from our loss last week. With that said it was nice picking up the two points and hopefully some of our issues disintergrate with time.

In the end I thought the aforementioned players were our best, but the backs were the difference.

Tough luck Roosters! Tis a shame you guys left your comeback 15 minutes too late.

 

[Dazzat]

3. Thaiday
2. Michaels
1. Winterstein

Fairly boring game, except for the last 15 minutes or so. Clinton got MOTM from Nine and did play one of his best game, but there's a few worrying signs there, particularly in defence.

 

[renouf]

Jeeze you're being a good sport there.. I'm glad they did leave it late. We were ordinary, and Michaels is dropping the ball far too much.

 

[Glory be Lockyer]

3. Hunt
2. Kenny
1. Winterstein

 

[League Legend]

Lots of points in the second half, but a crap game all round.
Tough luck Roosters, you should of put us to the sword in the first half.
Lucky we had the points on the board because we did our best to loose it in the end.
