Round 6 vs. Roosters Discussion + Voting

[Seagullsrock]

They've played Wests, Canterbury, Manly and Souths (all should be top 8 teams). Certainly a drop in grade this week for them.

You forgot to mention the Warriors. Who they lost to.

Yeah, they're playing the second team on the ladder who has by far the best defense, so it's a drop in grade for the chooks. I have to agree with the others here, you're a bit of a troll, aren't you? :roll:

That deal didn't go through. He copped an elbow from McGuire but completed the game. McGuire was put on report and has to face the judiciary.

I just read he'll be a part of the Wallaby 7's team after signing a new deal with the ARU. Good Luck to him, he's had a pretty rough couple of seasons after being an "Origin" prospect in '08

Te'o is out Copley to the wing... Wish they would give Gagai another crack.

 

[GoTheBroncs]

Ben Teo is out.

I guess there would be several options

- A direct swap with Copley
- Reed to centre and Gagai to wing
- Glenn to centre, with someone to replace him at backrow and introduce another to the bench

Squad not team. He'll be lucky to get a game. Wasn't anywhere close to being selected for Origin either.The 08 wingers were Folau and Boyd. He wasn't in the same suburb as them even then.

Those figures are misleading. You can only determine the best defence about halfway through the season once everyone has played each other. A team with a decent attack will always win anyway no matter how good your defence is. Being a Wynnum supporter, I sadly know this well.

Maybe not Folau, but he definitely was with Boyd.

He was just a finisher off a red hot Lockyer. Youve got to be alot more than that to make the Qld team. Heaven forbid if Yow Yeh makes the team. Kemp got closer than he ever should.

Lockyer was barely on the field that year and Kemp was still playing some good footy.

Yup.. Best shape since all the way back in 2009 where we were on top of the table after 8 or 9 rounds.

I said we are in better shape, not more wins. We are in much better shape than 2009. Less injuries, more consistent play, better attitude, more potential, better depth.
I've been a season ticket holder since 1988 and have missed about 25 games in 23 years and IMO this is shaping as one of our good years.

 

[renouf]

It'll all come down to injuries again IMO. If you look across the competition now, there are a lot of very average teams, so Brisbane just need a bit of luck with injuries and we should be able to secure a top 4 position. Easier said then done of course..

 

[Big Pete]

Copley in for the injured Te'o.

Not sure what to make of it, I believe he'll be up against Carney who while not skilled in the air is a handful with the ball in hand.

 

[hellteam]

Reed will have a massive test tonight against kenny dowall. Should be,a good game, bit cut its on at the same time as the reds actually

 

[Wilfred]

id like to see glenn or gillet in defensive line with reed to help against kenny dowell, will be a good match , shame I will be at work and unable to either watch or listen to the match ...good luck guys!!!!

 

[user_nat]

I'm going to miss at least the first half due to a silly birthday party. Lame.

or maybe not.. thanks rain.

 

[Mr Fourex]

I'm going to have to bite the bullet again soon and get my foxtel back.

 

[hellteam]

Very wet, should suit us I guess.

 

[Seagullsrock]

f**k the Roosters are ordinary. Ill disciplined in defence and attack.
