Round 7 vs. Raiders Discussion + Voting

[Big Pete]

Our 90s rival, hopefully we can keep this show on the row and go for 5 straight.

Team should be announced soon, don't expect any changes.

 

[Steve_oneskie]

What about Parker for Gillett?

 

[jimmy86]

What about the exclusion of Teo? Gillett to 12, Parker to 13???

Teo is fighting the charge so I guess there is a chance he will play... albeit small chance.

 

[user_nat]

No way he is getting off. Downgrade of the charge is what they are probably aiming for.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Peter Wallace battling with his groin.....again

They'll name Te'o even though he likely won't play.

Forgot about Parker starting off the bench. He should hopefully start.

Broncos will be on Chooseday Night Football tonight. Believe it'll be our R8 '92 game against the Dragons.

 

[JamesBrandy]

I think Te'o will be gone, unfortunately. I'd say Parker would start with Glenn and Thaiday in the back row and Gillett will be on the bench. Anderson would probably come back in for Te'o as well I'd imagine.

I'd love to see Gillett start and have Glenn coming off the bench, but I can't see it happening.

 

[Mr Saab]

Why do we persist with Anderson? He does not bend the line....we have to have someone else available??????

 

[jimmy86]

Why do we persist with Anderson?

Same reason they persist with Copley! HA!

 

[Mr Saab]

Point taken. Anderson is the forwards version of Dale.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Why do we persist with Anderson? He does not bend the line....we have to have someone else available??????

Hala when match fit....?

 

[Mr Saab]

Yes please. I dont care if he makes mistakes (no ashton sims's mind you) but he has the size and power and can do something for 2 x 10-15 min stints.
Anderson is just a plodder

 

[God-King Dean]

Team hasn't been named yet.

Must be forfeiting.

BEN Te'o has been named to play against the Raiders at Suncorp Stadium this Friday night.
The Broncos will plead not guilty to a grade three dangerous contact charge against Te'o for a hit in the 18-14 win against the Tigers.
The player will appear at the NRL judiciary on Wedenesday night in an effort to make him available against the Raiders.
The only change to the side that dispatched the Tigers is a number change for Corey Parker.
Parker made his return from thumb surgery against the Tigers in jersey number 18 at the expense of Scott Anderson.
He moves into the number 16 jersey this week, with Te'o named at 17.

Can't see Parker coming off the bench again. Although Griffin doesn't usually play mind games.

 

[Steve_oneskie]

Yeh i'd expect Parker to come in for Gillett, and probably Anderson for Teo

 

[Bretto]

I'd just put Parker in for Gillet, and move Gillet to the second row for Teo.

 

[Big Pete]

Will be interesting how our pack fairs against the Raiders. Granted, the Raiders pack is missing a few key names such as Fensom, White & Thompson but they still have one of the better packs in the competition. Brisbane have only lost one forward tussle this year against the Cows, another victory here will put them in good stead.

As a fan I think it's obvious what I want to see the boys do - put in a complete 80 minute performance. Like this time last year, we've been great in patches but we've had to guts it out on too many others.
