Get Brodged

[Disco]

But look what happens to our defence when he's missing.

So many sprout "defense wins premierships" but then only focus on attack when judging teams and players......it is intetesting.

To judge Jake on his highlight reel or metres gained/tackle busts stats is to quite severly miss the mark IMO.

Im not going to count on too much from Lodge , well first up anyway

Drop Toff &/or Aloiai??? Doubt it. I hate saying this but from what I’ve been seeing since round 1 is that Jrbo is our weakest link. Apart from his defence he doesn’t offer anything else other than penalties & 6 agains. I love Jrbo but he’s getting slower & less impact!

Burbo was great at centre againt the Penny Panthers - Garrick back on the wing and Burbo and Koula the centres.

Brookies Brodge Brothers

Brookies Bruise Brothers perhaps? Or simply the Bruise Brothers. I think it's time that Greg Bird and Paul Gallen handed back that title.

I think a lot of people said the same thing about Brown @Mark from Brisbane

NSW has missed Bird 400% since his last game.
He lifted for those games.

Agree but he wasn’t injured

Lodge is a goer , if he’s fit he’ll be huge but I’d suggest for a while he might be tentative.

Lodge > Aloiai … end of discussion

 

[Will on the hill]

If both are at their best no doubt they will dish out many a Brodgering.

Brown is shaping up to be buy of the year, he's been huge for us so far.

He’s been very good I just hope his body holds up

He is on limited minutes.
So that might help.

Absolutely, Blacktown is a must for the return of Lodge.

Absolutely Lodge is above Blacktown standards .
Lodge would be good to go for 20 minutes of the NRL Bench
His fitness training levels would keep him in good stead

Paseka and Aleovera
off the bench comes Lodge, Toff and Brown which will leave one utility spot?

 

[maxta]

I definitely feel at least initially Lodge off the bench, which no dout it will be.
Say the forward's do a decent job early and then these 2 venomous beasts come off the bench lifting the intensity another 100%.....this is 1 of many key factors we have been missing in recent years, bench impact.

 

[manly al]

Probably best to use Brown from the bench as first preference in rotation with Jake in most instances for a variety of reasons . Maybe a given from a general perspective but just a good starting point to try for the next lot of best pack combos then
Looks like best also for Paseka to start . Then the most suited combo prop scenarios with Lawton occupying one bench spot on all present indications .
Alioai , Sipley , Lodge , Waddell , Bulemor for 3 spots then.
Then not to include Shu at this stage .
This to assume a fully fit pack available as well but always good i guess to look at best case situations

Diagree, think we need an edge/middle on there like Bully, Waddell or Schuster is his form dramatically improves
