has dene played 5/8th before? i know he is a great runner but how is his passing / kicking game?

that forward pack looks a lot better than last week.

 

[oro]

Hopefully Manu will be the player to drop off the bench. At least Heighington for all his inexperience will have a go.

 

[brook]

I've never seen dene at 5/8th before...he's a fine fullback and plays lock as well so i guess i can see the logic but its a gamble...can't say i've ever seen him kick the ball...

The Broncos side for this match is:

1: Michael DeVere
2: Craig Frawley
3: Brent Tate
4: Tonie Carroll
5: Stuart Kelly
6: Casey McGuire
7: Shaun Berrigan
8: Shane Webcke (c)
9: Richard Swain
10: Petero Civoniceva
11: Carl Webb
12: Corey Parker
13: Dane Carlaw

INTERCHANGE:
14: Michael Coorey
15: Andrew Gee
16: David Stagg
17: Neale Wyatt
18: Darren Mapp

We've got Lockyer, Ikin, Meyers, Prince, Minto and Seymour all out injured. Lockyer was going to return for this match but its probably better that he puts it off one more week. The real problem with this side is that theres no natural playmaker. Its ok to team up Maguire and Berrigan when you have Lockyer in the side but we don't have him. Last week the Broncos didn't kick in until Prince came onto the field. I'd expect this one to be a tight one as both sides will probably have a bit of trouble scoring points.

Interesting to see Dene at 5/8th. :?

Don't be to surprised to see Dene go back to the centers and see Wilson slot into 5/8th. ;-)

Good to see Twinkle Toes Pearson back as well.

 

[Tigerpete]

I guess what could happen is that if Dene is struggling at 5/8 in a big way it could allow Wilson to swap with him. I think Timmy is reluctant to move Wilson from centre though?

 

[Blocker Shaw]

i would have thought tippett would be ni line for a call-up. fitzy at half worries me. there'll be grubber kicks a plenty on saturday!! and with dene at 5/8 i am really concerned about a kicking game.

but sheens could be doing this to protect some young kid from the media spotlight. and i dont mean to start another debate but it could well be benji. he's already up there and would have an impact in the halves. but sheens did give the impression he was only going to play one game this year...

I was thinking along these same lines because of Benji only living less than 40mins away from the ground.

In saying this Benji would be a 99% chance of not getting a run for this game due to trying to keep the preassure of the kid ready for next season ;-)

I dont know what this means so take it as u wish but look at our team sheet for the game. Numbers 1-17 are listed and then there is number 19??? why? where is 18? Could it mean changes?

Could mean Marshall like last time lol of well time will tell I guess but I really don't see him playing in the middle of his studies (which he requested off)

Trials for most schools finish tommorow.

I dont expect him to play though, but it is a bit sus leaving number 18 out.

 

[steven_tiger]

my trials start next week

stoopid school.

 

[HappyTiger]

Im all 4 Sheens pulling Benji into the team.It would certainly give us a bit more spark around the park.But seeing he's picked Dene there i cant see it happening.Then we'd have two backs on the bench.Unless Wilson was to move to the 2nd row and play Halatau in the centres.

 

[Tigerpete]

Yeah i really dont know what it means, i pointed it out cuz i thought it could mean something but looking at the squad, its not really built for late changes........IF marshall was called up , it would mean we have one too many backs in the squad.

 

[MAGGIES]

Hopefully the team looks like this...

1. Robert Miles
14. Trent CLayton
3. John Wilson
6. Dene Halatau
5. Luke Covell
7. Daniel Fitzhenry
18. Benji Marshall
8. Corey Pearson
9. Robert Mears
10. John Skandalis
11. Anthony Laffranchi
12. Mark O’Neill ©
13. Terry Hill
Interchange:
15. Chris Paterson
16. Willie Manu
17. Clint Hill
19. Chris Heighington

WE would win for sure with this team.. 8)

 

[Tigerpete]

MAGGIES........there's no doubt the team looks better as u put it but i think its a long shot!

Tim Shines all time best team.. hahaha i cant believed this side actualy played a game.:lol:

 

[tiger_nick]

Benji came in and played 5/8 in his second 1st grade game. I remember getting the tip and won a lot of money when we pulled off a 12-10 upset

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

f**k me dead that is one of the worst ever squads named for first grade that I've ever seen.
