Marsh at hooker is interesting. He was unconvincing in the Queensland Cup last year but he's playing well this year (at five-eighth though, lol). I definitely think it'll help Wallace's game though, assuming he backs up. He looked at his best last year when Marsh was at dummy half IMO, even though Marsh himself didn't really offer much. Te'o in for McGuire is dire TSTL but I expected it. Still no Taylor.
Good side. IMO McCullough probably needs a little bit of time in Queensland cup to further his development as a player - that being said he has shown a lot more than Gorrell so far this season. McCullough will take the hooker spot back for himself in a few rounds with Marsh being used as an impact player. Sims being dropped to the bench is balls though, he deserves to be starting second rower unless they want a bit more size off the bench. Also the last sentence in your RLeague sig is balls Prince EWS.
Agreed with Te'o, shit decision. Marsh will be so gun coming in to the side I reckon, kind of ****s my NNRL team around though (lucky I've got Marsh though).
I think Marsh may be the penultimate piece of the puzzle. Once Michaels gets the hook they'll be brilliant.
Agreed, we need Glenn too be in the centres and Michaels can stay in QLD Cup till he learns not to become a sideline magnet
my question is, if the broncos see mccollough as a hooker and with pj in queensland cup, why sign gorrel, i mean he hasnt shown us much, so far it seems that mccullough has been our best option to take over ennis, so why not free up list space for some younger fellas, and some salary cap to keep khunt
Can't believe Michaels and/or Winterstein are still there, I would have thought they'd be dropped by now. Michaels especially, he's the new Shane Perry at BHQ. Winterstein is the new Darren Lockyer there though, even though no one has even seen him defuse a bomb ever. I also hate Te'o being there. First of all, we spread the ball too wide too much as it is, and him being there is just going to continue that. Plus he's on Hodges's and Folau's side. When the ball goes there, I want one of THEM to get it, especially considering how little Folau has been getting. With Te'o there Folau is going to get even less. Bleh. Dissapointed if McGuire gets dropped too. He looks like a great prospect at prop. I'm actually all for PJ Marsh playing. Gorrell has shown nothing and McCullough is too raw. I'd have Marsh and McCullough in the side, with McCullough playing 20-30 mins tops.
That was my problem with him, it would probably work out for the better if he was on Michaels side, might even justify his selection. I have a feeling Te'o will put in some solid performances after that period off.

He was ruled out of City-Country because he wouldn't have been able to train properly with them during the week. With the extra time along with playing alongside his usual team-mates he should be cleared to play.
