here here  i 2nd that part about origin who gives a ****..

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

GR8....NOT :'(

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

I give a **** about Origin haha, flying over and wanted to see him play !!

 

[Ryan]

Well that sucks. Don't we have another bye in there somewhere??? Therefore, if he's out three games, we may only see him out two for us, worst case???

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Our bye is around Origin 3 time from memory

 

[Chip and Chase]

Next 5 rounds

Broncos (H)
Titans (A)
Rabbits (H)
Panthers (A)
BYE

 

[eggson]

I reckon we'll be lucky to have him back before the bye.  I honestly can't recall a time where one of our guys gets injured and then comes back earlier or on time.  It's always been a lingering thing that stretches on a week or two.  But that could just be me and my warped brain thinking this up

 

[Zep]

Foran is back for the Broncos?

 

[ManlyBacker]

Foran is back for the Broncos?

I believe so. We need him desperately now and for the GC game.

 

[clontaago]

Sitting in 2nd spot i'd be happy if we gave Foran another week or 2 to get right and threw some QLD cup/TC players in for a run.

Maybe:

Robbo (Not best at fb but allows Farrar to cover centres where he has been good in the past)
T Rex
Whare
Farrar
Hoppa (not sure what other options we have)
Bailey (Or GS)
Hodko
Perry
Ballin
Kingy
Choc
Rodney
Glenn (Or Bailey)

Rose
Cross
Kite
Buhrer

 

[Utility Player]

Don't forget smoking Joe Clon, he can come in for splinter.

I`d like to think we should be able to win all those , having jamie out for the 1st 2 is a bit hard for them.. but  if our forwards just keep rolling along we should do it,
foran back is a bonus... it would be lovely come round 17  & we are sitting on 26points..with 9 games to go ..

 

[Ryan]

Douggie, my team:-

01. Ben Farrar
02. Michael Robertson
03. Dean Whare
04. Chris Bailey
05. Tony Williams
06. Keiran Foran
07. Trent Hodkinson
08. Jason King
09. Matt Ballin
10. Josh Perry
11. Anthony Watmough
12. Shane Rodney
13. Glenn Stewart

14. George Rose
15. Matt Cross
16. Brent Kite
17. Joe Galuvao

And yeah - I named Bailey 🙁

Good team Ryan.  That's quite a powerful bench.  The centre pairing, marking Folau is the only worry.  Although his mind might be in the AFL cloud.  Let's hope Big T goes up for the cross field chips and bombs, or at least can run blocks for the others.

It's not just you eggson. My wife continually goes on about that same thing. It's hard to argue sometimes especially when you see Keating back in three weeks after supposedly being gone for 6-8.

 

[Ian Martin tragic]

I am quite concerned about the next couple of games without lyon and matai. The backline named for this week has foran in the centres; probably a good idea to try and match folau's threat but we now have a very inexperienced backline with lots of new combinations in the defensive line. Not good against the broncos backline run by lockyer. We will have to dominate up front bigtime to stop them cutting us up out wide.

there are rumours of michael chapman slotting into the wing position he has been training with the top squad since november and mail has it has been killing it up with the feeder team sunshine coast bagging three tries in there 40 nil win last week or they may put bailey there and foran half...

Who would move from the wing, and to where would they go? Would Des put T Rex back into the centres after his 1st game this season, did he really go that badly? I think he was harshly judged at times after that game.

I' d prefer to see Foran move to the centres with Glenn at 5/8 over Bailey. Keep the wings and fullback as they are.
