I thought the Broncos put in a good effort today and hope we can do the same...
What I did like and thought I would be the last person to say this but enjoyed listening to Shane Flanagan commentate on the game.. He brought up a really good point and only wish our players listened. Talked about line speed and players defending as a team and not running out to create holes.. You think you are doing the right thing running out for a big hit or shutting it down but really its a burdon on the team and makes us weaker. Sound simple but gee wiz we have a real problem with this and it shows..

Liddle and Amone drop off reserves

 

[DGilly]

Liddle drops out of the 21. Interesting. So either Simpkin plays 80 on debut.. or Mbye comes on to play hooker which he really doesn't excel at and is much better at lock

I think our forwards will hold them, but the backs, well 2,3,4,5&7, will get exposed. Great to see Stefano getting a start, loved what I've see so far, haven't see enough of Simpkin to comment, but keen. Benji will be their big weakness when he comes on, not just in defense, but overplaying his hand and trying to teach us a lesson, making every play a highlight reel moment.

I often see the comment so and so needs to be in reserve grade to learn their trade or some such..what do they learn in reserve grade and if that’s the case aren’t the players who are replacing them better off learning their trade in reserve grade..

The great conundrum

It’s more the humiliation or being dropped .
Still can’t believe Nuffoaluma is still in firsts ...
Packer would’ve been an upgrade on the wing after last week’s abortion

The ole humiliation motivation you reckon..

Shame they can’t be docked there pay

I think they put this up just to annoy you..



. . . So Hobbo, do we call him Nofoaluza now ?

Nuffoaluza !

Mr. Snuffleupagus.

You’re right, and it is probably our only serious problem when you think about it? Fix it and we go along way to fixing the other issues.
Players don’t appear to trust each other. They don’t seem to know each other?

I'm sure they know, but they can't resist. If they were told they'd get a thousand bucks each game they made it through without running out of the line we'd probably get a result. As it stands, there's been almost no penalties applied for years of bad decisions.

So looks like its 1-17 with MCK and Alex Seyfarth playing State cup.
Keen to see how Billy Walters goes today as didn't think we was playing for like another 4 weeks.
All I ask is we play for 80mins and don't get flogged... I am not up for the media beating us up again and or course the same old " Why did the Tigers let Benji go " rubbish .... I think I would run down the road naked if we were to win this one.. Worth it

I hope Jake does well but I don't understand why Liddle isn't our first choice 9 today.

If we play solid defence and do all the little things right we might sneak over for a win.

If we fall apart early and allow Souths to score more than 20, we're gone, and this forum will be another bloodbath.

Pull out the popcorn, this matchup will either make or break our season.😛opcorn:

It’s not gonna break it. We’re 1 and 5

 

[diedpretty]

Apparently Liddle is top 3 in missed tackles so maybe that’s got a little something to do with it. Even though he only missed 1 the week just gone, it’s a bit concerning

That stat is very misleading - he is also miles in front as the top tackler in the team - has made 220 tackles next is Garner with 166.

Correct. The more attempts you make the more you will miss, however his miss rate/ratio is very low.

We’re a quarter of the way into the season, if we lose today I can’t see us making the 8. We win, then there’s hope.

So it’s make or break.

If our players show no interest or effort today I can see a real shake up in first grade personnel. This is especially true when you see how well our Knock-on players have gelled so well together with four wins in a row.

I dont really see how its a make or break game. If we win we're looking great going forward but if we lose nothing really changes
