He should be but he looked gassed within 15 minutes and we used a few changes just rotating TPJ last night. I don't think we have the changes available to rotate our hooker that early unless we sacrifice a middle rotation or two and have anear 80 minute middle playing.
i don't agree, haven't seen any sort of combo building.
Broncos scramble D was good TBH. We are two games into a very new team. It's gonna take time for everyone to get those little things right.
Jackson still had more passes than any other forward (20). His passing was clean enough, the trouble is he doesn't attract any defenders the way Yeo, Radley, and Murray do. He doesn't have a great metres per run average either. We do still need him for defense, in my opinion.
Huh, there you go. Really liking the workrate of our middle, thought they handled Haas well until they were gassed.Jackson actually passed the ball more yesterday haha, handled the ball 28 times with 20 passes. His minutes have were cut down to 51 though so maybe he's just a little fresher and wasn't as noticeably bad? Like you mentioned the other forwards did chip in with ball movement...Thompson (5 passes), King (4 passes, 3 offloads), TPJ (3 passes, 7 offloads), Vaughan (1 pass, 1 offload) so it probably helped break things up a little.
Just on Max king...big call but i'm prepared to say he could be a top 5 prop by the end of the season if his minutes increase. His workrate and quality is immense, i need him re-signed asap
Said the same this morning haha. You're right defensively, he absolutely busts his arse.
Yep Naden and fox should be given more time together. We haven’t seen much yet but those two combined will create some magic. I’d like to see young Shoupp bought back in. He looks to have more upside then Allen imo. Sure his trial from was patchy but he has presence and hits very hard in D. We need players that put some fear in the opposition
Our forwards have been insane the first 2 rounds. Max Kings been the best find of the season.
Aren’t we 1/2 ? Lost by one try and an illegal try at that, where he ran at burns outside shoulder? You are spot on mate, I was out there, I thought we played outstanding, held up over the line on 4 occasions also. I also rate Brisbane this year , so the form around them is good.
I'm not sure if out fitness is a concern but it looks a bit questionable at this stage. We are playing through fatigue better and at the end of both games both teams have been out on their feet so maybe its just the sort of contest we're making it. Dolphins will be sniffing around our forwards so we will probably only be able to retain one of the two unless there's a couple more outs.
I was at the game and thought we were outstanding considering it’s only round 2.
If we had 12 players on the field or anyone else on Okonburs wing we win that game.
Well, I’ll be damned, Marley created a positive thread
