WTF, after naming a few good teams in a row we come out and name this complete ****ing garbage. Henjak go get ****ed you bald midget ****.
With Taia, Houston and Paterson there's not really any room for him to start. Ndaira adds a bit more attacking spark, but he's not a utility as such. To keep him on the field you'd have to leave off one of De Gois, Mullen or Dureau.
I rate Hilder more highly than Taia and Paterson at the current time. They have more potential, particularly Paterson, but Waltzing's clean up work at lock is fantastic. I actually think he should be playing 80 there, every week, like he did when he first came onto the scene at the Sharks.
You've also got to fit Steve Simpson in there now. Basically we've got 4 back row spots and 5 blokes to fill them. With Hilder's added ability to fill-in at hooker or 5/8th, it makes more sense to have him as the bench utility than Ndaira, who from what I've seen struggles in any position other than hooker. I wouldn't actually mind seeing Hilder play 80 minutes at lock and De Gois 80 at hooker, much like Smith and Johnson do for Melbourne. But at the moment we don't really have anything different to add to the game from the bench. All it would result in is De Gois being less effective and one less running back rower in attack.
I'm not sure why everyone is Whinging about Teo, sure he hasn't done jack but either has McGuire tbh they both cancel each other out. Marsh should add some go forward which they seriously lacked last week and lets not all chuck the shits about the team just yet i mean the only reason so many players were named was to cover for injuries and i think Ged is right and Lockyer will be rested regardless so Marsh or McCullough will play 5/8 with the other starting hooker and Gorrell on the bench. I expect the team to look something like this baring injury. 1. Hunt 2. Winterstein 3. Michaels 4. Hodges 5. Folau 9. Marsh 7. Wallace 8. Kenny 19. McCullough 10. Clinton 11. Thaiday 12. Te'o 13. Parker 15. Sims 16. Wapau 17. Glenn 18. Gorrell Some of you Broncos supporters need to take a few deep breathes, Michaels is copping alot of shit right now, reminds me of the shit Boyd copped while he was here, everyone remember Micheals has had 2 knee reconstructions in 3 years so i think he deserves some slack. If anyone thinks the solution is moving Folau to left center then they need to seriously give themselves a upper cut, **** we have seen how bad he is on that side and if your having a cry about how little ball he gets now put him on the left and see how worse it could be. Sims is overrated as **** on here, its almost like Boobidy says he is god so everyone goes "well he must be" **** he has shown me nothing to think he is the answer, handy guy to have but there are another 30 blokes in the NRL id have before him. Give Teo a go ffs he is still ****ing young and everyone forgets that players generally don't go that well in their first year at the Broncos after playing for a different team the year before, look at Clinton for ****s sake. ok i've had my rant now.
