Team vs. Broncos

f**k me we need to have a game plan to unsettle these 2 & keep the misery alive.

We have the whole of rugby league on our side, counting on us.

It’s like we’re up against the white walkers! They are ready to strike form but we need something out of the ordinary to get the job done.

Roberts didnt look that good end of Raiders game, he is not 100%, and this will be Birds first game against us, thats where game will be won or lost, if we get on top of Bird he will implode

Using that logic we will never drop Feki for anyone
Blokes get injured.

Hey I would love The Don, The Fus, not ever player in the team has to be a superstar.

We have enough inexperience in the side.

I suspect himself and Josh M will keep building a understanding, not there yet, but only 6 games.

Also missing Wade in attack, has played outside Wade for years, Capewell plays a different game, still getting used to that too.

The Fekstar is just warming into the season.

Hey John "The debut specialist" Morris could have picked Katoa, moved Xerri, played fullback Kennedy.

You know we need 17 players right? You cannot sack f**king everyone.

SJ needs to run the f**king ball. Chad needs to kick on the fifth outside the op's 20 unless we are running the ball. SJ... It's such a pity Nikora gets the chop against this mob, he is a great edge play and both Gillet and Glenn are plodders. Now we got Sorro and Capes.. and then Bakuya and Williams..

Just a hunch, but I think Feki's knee is totally f**ked. Has had some serious strapping on and off since hurting it badly and having a fair stint on the sideline. During games he sometimes hobbles around and looks uncomfortable. A bad knee and no leg drive would explain why his carries out of our own end aren't as good as they were.

Has Bakuya lost pace? He comes on now and always plays middle, and I am not a fan.

Anyone know why he moved off the edge? Got bigger? Can't move sideways?

That said prefer Sorenson on the edge to middle

i hope Sorro dosent play 80, i dont want him in the 17, he has played 1 good game with us, the game against Panthers last year, and has lived off that since
He is a depth player on depth coin, not top 17 when all are fit.

He gave SBW a bath once, so that is two good games.

In case anyone was wondering, this is the Donks team.

1. Boyd
2. Oates
3. Roberts
4. Bird
5. Isaako
6. Milford
7. Nikorima
8. Haas
9. McCollough
10. Ofahengaue
11. Glenn
12. Gillett
13. Pangai Junior

14. Staggs, 15. Fifita 16. Flegler 17. Carrigan

18. Su’A 19. Shibasaki 20. Dearden 21. Lodge


Decent side on paper. I think we’ll play them into form unfortunately.

I’d be running at Milford and Roberts all night. Neither can tackle.

Attrition in the squad is my guess. Lack of props.

Knights - Fifita, Prior, Gallen, Woods
Titans - Fifita, Prior, Gallen, Woods
Cowboys - Fifita, Prior, Gallen (23 mins), Woods
Eels - Fifita, Prior, Woods (26 mins), Boogs (lock)
Roosters - Fifita, Prior, TPP, Boogs
Panthers - Fifita, Prior, TPP, Gallen

Have used Sorrow and JW1 when needed as well.

In context of the whole year to come the side really needs TPP to keep improving.

This game will be a battle of temperament, commitment, enthusiasm and desire.

Both teams have a bountiful array of rookies, kids and hard heads.

The hard heads hold the key. The best led team will win this. The one that stays on track most in regards to game plan, discipline, execution and the above. That will all come down to your Gallens, Feefs, Priors, Morris’, Townsends, Boyds, Oates’, McCulloch’s, Gilletts etc

The kids on the dominant team will supply the bells and whistles.

Will be interesting to see if Seibold pulls the trigger and gives young half Dearden a debut.

With some of their bigger forwards coming back he might see this as an ideal game to give him a crack.
