My team for Round 10 vs Broncos

So Brooks is expected to come into the game as a link player / running forward.
Man that is exciting, this is the first step to Brooks becoming a lock / hooker.
Especially if Walters is on the left I can’t see him going into lock or hooker. Madge is gunna give him a couple of games to build into some combinations.
Brooks has a weapon of a tackling technique. Will tackling in the middle and running at forwards for 30mins finally bring out the competitor in him?
 
So Brooks has not been dropped ! He is still in the team .. he only is playing a different roll . Madge has not really done anything other than putting him on the bench IMO Pee Weak ...

He’s still making a point though - brooks has been our starting half for years. Now a guy with 6 first grade games has taken his spot. He’s still playing but brooks will be looking to get his starting spot back

Anyone got in insight as to this supposed shake up in the spine that might come in? Michael Carryanis said “l look forward to the teamlist tomorrow for the tigers”. “May be a shake up in the spine, it may not happen but I assure you, the coaching staff are seriously considering some changes”

@tiga4eva might know ?

Any source for this or did you just make it up?
 
What message is Maguire sending to his players about form and consistency in selections?

You miss 4 tackles, 4 tries result.

Previous game you fail in leadership 101. I get it JL is difficult but Mbye should have taken charge. Really poor from such an experienced player.

Mbye should have been dropped for this game.

There’s no one to replace him with! I’m not sure why everyone who’s saying this doesn’t understand that - plus he’s only had one poor game all year. Hoffman/Talau on an edge together would be a nightmare.

I suggested Lawrence and Hoffman on the left. Talau to right centre.

There appears to be no worse nightmare than a Captain who won't tackle and won't lead. It is not a failure of the men but that of leadership.

Have you seen Talau defend at centre? He’s worse than that one game from Mbye. Fact is Mbye had one poor game defensively before that he didn’t let in one try. It’s an overreaction to say he won’t tackle and our back line is a lot stronger this way, Talau has been too good on the wing to drop and Hoffman looked shaky

Hoffman looked shaky because of the incompetence inside him. Can’t blame the rookie for that.

I was talking about more under the high ball as well. His inside defenders definitely let him down but Hoffman isn’t a winger imo

he grew in confidence over the game, his first ball he dropped backwards and then after that he didnt make errors even though he was targeted all game

Re Brooks...torn a bit.

Yes, absolutely deserved to go. Nine misses, poor kicks, no game management / well down on last year's form.

VS

Broncs have been beaten all season post covvid return by speedy small men up the guts / pace running at their bigs who tire quickly. Brooks game is more effective against them than any other team.

I think Brooks will be on the bench..

What would be the point of that ?

So that we have 4 players on the bench Lol.

But you think that Mbye is a center and a leader he has nothing in attack

Absolute dead wood

Nothing in attack
Nothing in defence (no one else has let in 4 tries in one game - not even Nofo)
Nothing in goal kicking
Nothing in leadership

AND costs a fortune.

On par with the "Bludger) only more expensive.

Let him experience it and understand where he has to improve. Do the names Chris Lawrence and Andrew Ettingausen ring a bell? Ettinghausen couldn't tackle when he came into grade but became the best defensive centre in Aust as well has having great pace.

Mbye lost us the game, 4 missed tackles 4 tries. Disgraceful captaincy the previous game. That he hasn't been sacked is a huge mistake. Although they may not say it openly, other players will be looking at Marshall, Brooks and co and their treatment and wondering how the golden child remains. It's alright to be tough in soft situations but Maguire has failed bigtime.

Hoffman was left posted by Mbye who knew he was a debutant and failed to watch out for him. Chris Lawrence would have bled to ensure the young man was protected. Not captaincy material.

He is a solid centre. Clearly not worth the money he is on (thanks Ivan) but some people go on about him like he’s a park footballer. He has done a solid job at centre, against Souths he was woeful but that’s not enough to warrant being dropped IMO
