NRL.com Predicts Round 1 Lineups

Gillett not starting is farcical

 

Na, not at all.

 

agree with jazman backline but would want to see

8.McGuire
9.mccullough
10.Thaiday
11.Glenn
12.Gillett
13.Parker

14. hooker not called travis
15.Blair
16.Gavet
17.Oates

 

Bennett has already said Thaiday is going back to the right edge. Broncos signed a young hooker from Ipswich, and he is rated a chance to get a gig on the bench. He broke the 2.5km run record twice in one day.

 

Parcell?

 

Think that's him.

 

Hope Bennetts right on this for Broncos sake but im at the point where i feel he's losing the dynamism that made him effective on the edge previously.
I think he is better served trying to work the middle third for second phase play trying to improve his workrate as much as posssible playing as a 20 min approx burst player amongst the rotation of your middle third.


Gillett has a pretty unique style for todays bunch of specialised backrowers he can play effectively either through the middle or down an edge. He's like a young gallen however his hole running is stronger but his defence/hitups not as refined at comparable stages in their careers. I would like to see him play 55-65 minutes a game down an edge as sort of tied in to the point about Thaiday; Broncos neeed an edge forward who can take a hit off the ruck effectively if you want to enable Glenn to focus on what makes him an above average fg player in his superb edge defence and smart lines outside the halves which should come back to the fore now #griffinball is extinct and milford has joined the party.

 

thaiday obvs^

You also want your lock to be able to provide middle third stability and play 65+ mins a game if hes quality enough. Parker is arguably the most valuable lock in the comp now so playing him anywhere else is utterly ridiculous too in my mind.



Im secretly loving the way this squad is shaping despite hating the club it has had a squad with potential but neeeding a specific cleanout and simce Hoffman Barba Kennnedy etc have been shifted and Boyd Bennett in stocks are flying for you boys atm if you're broncs fan u should be cheering imo
