Tom Trbojevic destined to be one of the greats

[Holmsey]

nah he won't... Jorge can swap with a winger in defense he's done it before and he scored match winning try. but I fear hastings will be fb. I don't think he is big enough but we have limited options. poor turbo

Hastings is not small, he's 185 cm and 95 kg, bigger than most fullbacks in the nrl.

he's a midget didn't you see him getting rag dolled? lol its like Bevan french he was crap at fb too small can't break the line gets taken back 5 meters etc I think hastings will be the same but I'm happy to be proven wrong. I'm glad Tommy isn't out for season.. Do we have 2 byes in that time period? if so not as bad as could of been.

And there it is...Negative Nancy!

Didn't take long...

Happy to be proven wrong on this one for sure ! Lets revisit this in 8-12 weeks see who was being negative or realistic then ..... 🙂

Team List Tuesday can't come soon enough

 

[BOZO]

We were scoring tries but were not converting them and with Hastings at fullback we have the opportunity to overcome this issue . With Hastings in the staring line up we will be stronger up front with an extra forward on the bench ie; Brown Myles AFB Lussick or Perrett .
The Titans have their own injuries and who knows what injuries the other teams will have when we line up against them .
This is an opportunity for the players and coach to prove that they are not a one man team.

Sorry Ryan, I see it a little different. I respect your logic.

I personally cant justify the logic of moving Walker out of position (of which he excels in), to then move BK over the other side of the field when he has played all season at no.4 and then bring brown in at centre.

At the very least if you were to move Walker, then brown/wright/hastings at No.3.

My Yart:

Logic:
1. We know Hastings was training at FB throughout the off season, plus he is a 80%+ goal kicker. Also really good development opportunity.
2. Brown is a decent utility.
3. No need to move people out of position when we have sufficient cover.

If Brown starts at FB or Centre = WE LOOSE

Our attack would be stuffed. lets go to NRL and get Jamil a lifeline.

I would certainly go with this team.

Whilst we lose the impact, speed and ability to break tackles and line breaks that Tom has, Jackson is more than capable at fullback and adds a greater level of ball playing ability, so may gel quite well with DCE and Green.

 

[Mr Manly 007]

If Tom Wright keeps playing well and fit : I'd like to see him get a run at fullback NRL ; at sometime during Tom Turbos injury time.

 

[lsz]

I thought Walker had a run at 1 for the bunnies a while back and failed?

 

[Supreme Leader]

I thought Walker had a run at 1 for the bunnies a while back and failed?

Got to remember that everyone who plays Fullback for South's in the past 2000 era has failed, or been seriously injured?
Having said that don't you have to have serious issues playing for South's in the first place - you got to play 30+ years to win a premiership?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Is there any news about Toms injury in this thread? I don't have time right now to scroll through bulk pages...

 

[desreturnoftheking]

You can't put walker there I thought of him at fb as well but he's a gun center and needs to stay there hastings or taufua can play there

 

[BOZO]

I thought Walker had a run at 1 for the bunnies a while back and failed?

He did not fail but he is a more complete player at 3
His plays his best at 3 . Also, Kelly and Dylan are forming a good centre combination .
IMO Brown or anyone else with Kelly will be like strangers in the night

 

[Mitch]

Just thought I would leave this tweet from the official Broncos page here. What a lovely touch especially given the outcome of the tackle.

 

[lsz]

To be fair the article itself is not that bad


Mead led a super chase when he hunted down after the unlucky Manly fullback, who was unfortunately injured in the collision.

In good news for the Sea Eagles and their talented back today, Trbojevic's injury diagnosis was not as serious as was first feared.

[BOZO]

Letting the ball bounce is always a gamble and sometimes the price is high . One try and 8 weeks on the sideline .

Certainly right mate. I just think the tweet itself was average form in the way it was worded.

 

[midsteyne]

Mid air tackle but play on of course

Terrible second half full of mistakes and no structure

Use of bench was stupid as well

Bad coaching

all of the above strone but I reckon the players were responsible for the second half,they just had to come back out and play for the next 40,thought they had it won,TB will be pulling his hair out
