As revealed by News Limited this morning, injuries to Broncos wingers mean Josh Hoffman earns a berth on the left flank with young gun Lachlan Maranta to play on the right wing. Broncos team for NRL round one on March 8 against Manly Sea Eagles: 1. Corey Norman 2. Josh Hoffman 3. Jack Reed 4. Justin Hodges 5. Lachlan Maranta 6. Scott Prince 7. Peter Wallace 8. Josh McGuire 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Sam Thaiday 11. Alex Glenn 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker INTERCHANGE 14. Ben Hunt 15. Ben Hannant 16. Mitchell Dodds 17. David Stagg 18. Scott Anderson
I'm more confient than ever of repeating our domination at Brookvale North. The Boncos have a lot of weaknesses. Their forwards are solid but IMO our biggest danger is that grub Hodges.
1. Stewart 2. Taufua 3. Matai 4. Lyon 5. Hiku. Don't think Wolf is fit. 6. Foran 7. Cherry-Evans 8. Kite 9. Ballin 10. King 11. Watmough 12. Horo 13. Guluvao 14. Buhrer 15. Fa'aoso 16. Lawrence - Reckon they'll use him in both front and second row rotation. 17. Rose [hr] The Hooker is no slouch either and prince will probably go well back at the bronco's.
bronx are a strong side. Young inexperienced sides generally start the season strongly as well. If the rumors are true that griffin is under pressure im sure the broncos will be primed early in the season Tough hurdle this game so early in the season. The team better "bring the A game" "turn up to play" and "give 110%" or they could be in for "a Long night" and on the "wrong end of the scoreboard"
Like that pack. We are better up front than last year. If kings out maybe they could move rose into starting side and put Sao on the bench
That will only happen if Buhrer is in the starting side, I cant see 2V having both Buhrer and Lawton on the bench
Thaiday isn't fully fit, so thats why he is playing prop. The pony's backs (apart from king grub Hodges) are not worth losing sleep over. Very average! We got dis. Dont even need a Wolfie last minute try to win!
The broncos were very ordinary in the trial game against the Warriors, that being said we weren't exactly in red hot form either. I think Buhrer is a must to start, especially with Gifty out. No better opportunity to find out if he is capable of playing 80 minutes and be our next generations forward leader.
