Round 5 vs. Titans Discussion + Voting

[Big Pete]

Discuss

Looks like we're going to be without Hoffman, Stagg & Thaiday for this one.

Hodges should be back, but with his hamstring in the shape it's in I wouldn't get my hopes up.

Our opposition are looking quite good winning 3 of their last 3 games. They could be without Srama but they have enough weapons across the park to be weary of.

Depending on how the Broncos respond this week, it should be an interesting game. Watching the press conference, it sounded like the boys were down in the dumps which isn't a good sign because there were plenty of positives to come out of that Storm game. If they can just minimise the fundamental errors, they can surely win.

My predicted line-up if those 3 players are unavailable...

1. Corey Norman
2. Jordan Kahu
3. Jack Reed
4. Justin Hodges
5. Lachlan Maranta
6. Scott Prince
7. Peter Wallace
8. Ben Hannant
9. Andrew McCullough
10. Scott Anderson
11. Alex Glenn
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker

14. Ben Hunt
15. Dunamis Lui
16. Nick Slyney
17. David Hala

Looking pretty dire at the moment.

Thaidays suspension has sealed our loss, unless Scott Anderson puts in a career defining performance.

 

[Bretto]

Titans are strong all over the park lately. Huge amounts of speed to burn out wide with Mead and Gordon too. Last week against the Storm we had good structure all over the park. If we can show that again we're in with a good shot.

 

[beads6]

It will be one hell of a win if we manage to get up. Time for Prince to pay back his old team IMO.

You've lost the plot.

 

[broncos2010]

My god can our team look any worse with the likes of thaiday,hoffman and stagg out and if hodges is out again.

Probably the worst looking team on paper we could see running out for a very long time.

 

[gUt]

Should be a good test for both teams.

granville for hunt, and i wouldn't mind that team.

Interchange:
14. Ben Hunt
15. Dunamis Lui
16. David Hala
17. Scott Anderson
18. Nick Slyney
20. Jarred Wallace

That's it Griffin, keep playing Lui, he has to do something eventually, right?

Round 4: 16m 6 tackles.
Round 3: 49m, 1 tackle.

If we end up with both Lui and Hala on the bench..our starting forwards are going to be exhausted, neither has ever done a lot of work.

 

[Spud]

I actually hope Jarred Wallace takes a bench spot. I thought he played well in his limited opportunities last year. Good to see Hoffman named, he is making a good go on the wing though I wouldn't be surprised if he is a late withdrawal.

 

[Snappy]

Is Jarrad Wallace a forward or a back ?

front row, great work ethic and bends the line when he takes it up.

Forward.

I thought Hoffman was out injured?

I really want to see Wallace play, I am hoping Thaiday gets a week just so J Wallace and Hala play and out perform Lui, Gillett and Anderson seeing two of them dropped. If that happens I would love to see this next week in the forwards

8 - Hannant
9 - McCullough
10 - Wallace
11 - Glenn
12 - Thaiday
13 - Parker

14 - Hala
15 - Gillett <---- this is where he belong right now
16 - Anderson <---- dropping off when McGuire returns

Thaiday is suspended
Hoffman is injured

I'd be very surprised if Hoffman played after the way Hook worded the injury "Strained Achilles"

Considering last weeks performance, that is the most optimistic squad that I've seen for a awhile. Here's hoping Hala has some gas in the tank to impress, and this Jarred Wallace is a new one. That should be interesting.

I hope that doesn't mean Reed to wing and Glenn/Gillett to centre which is what this line says if Hoffman gets ruled out. Would rather see Kahu on the wing.

That's the side they named at the time, should change soon I think.

Maybe not, I just read that the Broncos are fighting the Thaiday 1 week ban and that they're hopeful of Hoffman playing.
