Anyone know what's happening with Vailea?

 

[Leber]

I wouldn't be against putting Niukore at centre to replace Berry. I'd rather him than Vailea.

 

[Leber]

3- Leiataua

He scored 2 tries today. Def a future first grader.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Need this win to keep jumping up the table.
The table is f**ked up with all the byes in it.
Broncos 9 wins and sitting 4th behind Panthers and Sharks on 7 wins.

 

[Meth]

I thought Metcalf went ok, kinda, for some of the game. We probably have looked better with Volkman, but we need some consistency in the selection there.

 

[Rich102]

I thought the Johnson Walker combination worked best.

Walker comes back one way or the other for sure.
bummer about Berry, thought he was having a good game til he copped that shot.

Walker is better off the bench for me. Keep Metcalf in halves as he improving.

I think Berry was showing great signs, and will be a star centre in the future. I would have thought he would have bulked up a little by now which will help him. Really unfortunate with the head knock and he may not get a chance again for a few weeks.

what is the story with Veila? He isn’t in the injured list and he didn’t play reserves…

 

[SpaceMonkey]

I suspect Vailea is on the outer - might be one of those situations where a new coach comes in, identifies some issue with a player and challenges them to improve and they don’t respond. Webster did it with Curran too, but he rose to the challenge and got his spot back.

 

[Meth]

Looks like Vailea was out with a minor shoulder issue.

 

[Meth]

Looks like Leiataua is set to debut.

 

[Meth]

Leiataua for Berry is the only change

 

[nswarrior]

Yeah - no Walker anywhere

 

[hitro]

 

[Leber]

Wow...didn't expect him to debut. Awesome though.

But where is Walker??

 

[hitro]

Press release says he is still recovering from fractured toe

 

[nswarrior]

Huge game, side looks solid although Walker adds more attack. However with Metcalf we get better attack if he doesn’t overplay his role. The way the forwards played last weekend we can match them upfront.
I was super impressed with Barnett coming back from such a worrying injury he played at 110%

Leiataua on debut marking Croker for his 300th celebration in Canberra as their captain and blue blood is interesting, couldn't get a much more difficult assignment

It’s everyone’s favourite centre Pompey marking Croker!!

I think there are much more difficult assignments than marking Croker.

(if Croker scores a hat-trick on his 300th, I'll see myself out)
