Manly V Bronco's Rnd 1 Game Day Thread

[The Who]

Mark probably watches (has to watch) the Boncos more than me but Hoffman seems to miss more tackles than any other fullback in the comp. I know he's picked on the wing, but he is a liability in defence.

What is the matter with Kingy?

 

[bones]

I'm still waiting for Zorba to write an article that fires the Broncos up.

What is the matter with Kingy?

I think that he had shoulder surgery in the offseason and he is still recovering

Come on Friday.....can't wait for this game. Will be a tough one but we should get up.

 

[Timmy]

King is out. Manly are specials I reckon

One thing in our favour: We Always Win In Brisbane.

Yep all the time and he IS a liability, both wingers ( Maranta is having his first game)

Tell us more wombat... Is snake ready to go? Gagan or hiku on the wing? How long is kingy out for?

A friend of a friend...just texted it. I hope it's true. :s

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Inside knowledge maybe, good luck to him if true

Maranta played a few games last year for the broncs

 

[ManlyBacker]

This is where they are weakest,

1. Corey Norman...lacklustre in attack
2. Josh Hoffman...out of position
3. Jack Reed....strong needs to be watched
4. Justin Hodges...a "cat" and runs mostly from dummy half
5. Lachlan Maranta..rookie, and will be under pressure
6. Scott Prince...time will tell
7. Peter Wallace...hasn't been the same as when Lockyer was in control

8. Parker can't kick goals. Even if his ankle is shot Prince isn't much better. Go Manly.
