Brisbane Broncos thread on how to lose a GI and a Lock and a semi final

Discussion in 'The Cesspit: Rugby League Discussion' started by Boobidy, Dec 27, 2011.

    Great with the ball in hand but his defence is awful.
     
  2. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    I don't think he's particularly brilliant with the ball in hand. He was rubbish at fullback last week.
     
  3. Alec AD Funkotron

    Tallis claims Bennett named Blair captain as a "Fuck you" to him :laugh:
     
  4. Julian BJ Taylor

    Looks like Bennett has realised there's not that much point investing so much time into a youngster like Kodi Nikorima as your utility because if it works he's going to quadruple in value over the 1/2 years he's played there.
     
  5. Julian BJ Taylor

    Surely there has to be someone capable of playing a bit of hooker in the Brisbane system somewhere. I still find it almost inexcusable that Bennett took Travis Waddell with him there. Must genuinely be a case of rating the guy as a bloke and prolonging his career.

    I'm sure there'd be blokes I don't know who're better but running around in the state comps we've got Politoni, Mitchell, King, Buttriss and Seluini who I think are all close enough to uncontracted and much, much better hookers than Waddell.
     
  6. Cribbage RG Cribb

    They have Berrell, but he's fucking shit as well.
     
  7. Old Mate M Perry

    Macca will be much more powerful when he returns from the hyperbolic time chamber. He'll transform to DallyM medal 2 level and premiership his way to success.
     
  8. Alec AD Funkotron

    Yeah, our only decent replacement is Nikorima. Waddell and Berrell are pretty shit.
     
  9. Julian BJ Taylor

    He's not really a replacement though if he can only play 40 minutes there. He's a half back up but otherwise specialist bench utility. If that's what you're rolling with, your third option needs to be passable IMO.
     
  10. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Definitely need to get Seggy from Penrith.
     
  11. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Most clubs have a reserve grade back rower with a good enough passing game to play hooker. Even if Brisbane had someone like that to play 20 minutes with Nikorima playing 60 then it'd work much better for them, but all their reserve back rowers are power runners. McGuire isn't even that bad when he plays there so he could do that but the big downside is that they lose him as a prop when he's there.

    Glenn has been thrown in there before. Rather they did that than move McGuire.
     
  13. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Yeah McGuire's service is okay and he's obviously up to the defensive side but it's not that. He's just wasted because of it.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    Can't Mcguire only see out of one eye?
     
  15. Alec AD Funkotron

    I think he has very limited vision in one of the eyes, but not completely gone.
     
  16. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    That's a problem for a dummy half, he really shouldn't play there.
     
  17. Old Mate M Perry

    It's a problem for every single position in rugby league.
     
  18. Julian BJ Taylor

    Haha imagine if he had to fill in on the wing and his fucked eye was the inside one.
     
  19. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    Timely bye with the busted players. However it appears that Kahu, Glenn and Reed will out for a few weeks.

    What do? Seriously need to reconsider playing Maranta and Eden. They're fucked and with 2 injured outside backs one or God-forbid, both of those shit cunts could end up getting a gig... Hope the fact they are primarily winger/fullbacks, they both won't turn out.

    Who plays left centre with those blokes out? We really cant be blooding a bloke inside a piece of shit like Eden/Maranta.
     
  20. Cribbage RG Cribb

    Whitchurch I guess?
