Round 4: BRONCOS vs TITANS (2018)

Anniversary of start Super League War. Also delighted to have a Sunday game, should be a massive crowd.

Not too happy with how the Broncos are advertising "The Local Derby" though. I want fire and brimstone.

Big big big game coming and it's on a Sunday too. Broncos fans will come out in force and we need a big Titans support base up there.
 
Prelim Kick Off: 4:00pm
Box Office: 3:30pm
Gates Open: 3:45pm
Corporate Gates: 3:45pm
Kick Off: 6:30pm
 
This game is on Fox only as well. Shows what Ch9 thinks of this 'derby', though I can't blame them since when is the last time we beat the Broncos?
 
^^^ thanks heaps for that
That makes much more sense to me that game
Yeah that’s the one I was thinking of
It was low scoring
 
We are so up against it here and need to improve beyond all comprehension to win this
Having said that.....after 4 rounds you must be at least 2W 2L to be a shot at it .

So here we go people we can’t be 1W 3L after round 4...

This is a “MINI GF”!
 
Heavy soul searching and regrouping today at Parkwood.
This week if we are to be a top 8 contender is a 100% win or bust game.
This Sunday night will be The Sweetest Win of all.

Yes mate 100 percent no excuses ,we need a siege mentality, I will always support the team but they cannot ever give up!
 
1 Michael Gordon, 2 Anthony Don, 3 Dale Copley, 4 Konrad Hurrell, 5 Phillip Sami, 6 Kane Elgey, 7 Ashley Taylor, 8 Jarrod Wallace, 9 Nathan Peats, 10 Ryan James (c), 11 Kevin Proctor, 12 Will Matthews 13 Jai Arrow

Bryce Cartwright has been dropped to the bench, with Will Matthews starting in the back row, Jai Arrow shifting to lock and Ryan James moving to prop. Keegan Hipgrave is suspended for one match, replaced on the bench by Max King, while Morgan Boyle drops out of the 17.

That's a better looking team this week. That middle with Dark moving back in field and Arrow moving to lock too is much improved. Should wake Cartwright up and hopefully he can come on and provide some spark around the tired middles. And Boyle has sadly not been up to standard with Max King outshining him. Hopefully see some improvement this week (hopefully being the word).
 
I quite like that team, with Jai arrow at lock and Will Mathews starting. Still not sure about the Elgey conundrum, don't want to see Cartwright in 5/8, but don't think it is smart to blood AJ whilst we are performing poorly.
 
I think it’s a terrible shame that after a full summer of working on having James/LG combining on the Left Edge that the Coach has had to give that plan up after only 3 rounds.

It reflects very poorly on Boyle, Cartwright, Latu and Peats in particular who through their pitifully weak efforts in the engine room have resulted in us having to resort to a reactionary game plan.

I would like this to be a Brennan mind game and that come kick off there’s a late change with Matthews going to the bench, James to 2nd row, Cartwright (who’s getting very close to becoming my next whipping boy) staying on the bench and King starting the game at prop.
