Has there ever been 3 banners in a row?

Cant wait for him to play, to justify my frustration reading all the armchair coach predictions of resting and not passing concussion protocols.

People were worried about EKatoa this week too, even though he returned to the field and those fears turned out correct.

Robinson has a history of resting and rotating his players, particularly against weak opposition, so I don't see the issue with people speculating that Teddy might be rested after a nasty hit. Did it easy without him vs. Broncos the other week.

Thanks mate but I’m on the Murray train, I have faith in my man! I think they will average the same and he’s 9k cheaper.

Nice one mate

Everyone else can have plodder Jake plodding away for his 80 plodding minutes.

We'll ride the Murray express all the way to the top, 1 point at a time

There were 5 banners in the last 4 weeks of 2018

Tapine, Tom Trbojecvic, DCE, Latrell and Tedesco

Its not a swipe at people getting it right or wrong. Obviously this is all about reading the winds. I just get the shits with statements of fact, based on a guess.

I've long defended Milford. He has been much better over the years than he gets credit for. He's been pushed into a halfback role that didn't suit him, had to cover multiple positions at once. At the back end of 2018 (?) he was going really well as the organising half, his kicking game has developed a hell of a long way.

I don't know what the problem is now. I don't htink its fitness, seems to be mindset. I think his head is overloaded but I just don't know what will get him to click. IMO he should get dropped, at least for a game or two. Its a shame there's no Q CUP. I'm not defending his performances this season, and I'm probably of the mind that hte Broncos should look to move him on.

Watch this though. This was posted in 2016, he has an incredible amount of highlights for the broncos

I think the problem is he is a great individual talent but not much of an organiser or leader. At times he is a genuine star when on the front foot, but place the team under a bit of pressure and he just doesn't have the composure to get his team out of the funk. When this is happening it is very evident that he somehow feels the pressure is all on his shoulders to make something happen. You can even see this at times when the Broncos are down by 10 and Milford tries to jink around the field and put in a few flick passes or kick and chases. 1 in 5 or 6 times this pays off and he looks brilliant but the other 4-5 times he just looks like a headless chook. Place him next to Cleary, Pearce even someone like Blake or Townsend who control the game beautifully and he would probably shine.

The bloke is 25 years old. He still has a good 8 years ahead of him. I think he is a great player and has the potential to become a really good five-eighth, but Broncos have lacked that general on the field. Give Croft another 2-3 years and that could be him, but Broncos are quickly becoming a destination many players don't want to end up.

I'd say so - there's been weeks with 2 banners in a week, so the odds are there's been at least one time where that was preceeded/followed by another

If I was spending that money, personally I'd go Matterson

JTrbo at $100k cheaper might be value though if it lets me upgrade next week as well

edit: Murray is same price range as Jtrbo not Matterson.
Btu I'd still go Jtrbo

If I have Lolo, Matterson, Crichton and Lucy at second row I pretty much don't have to worry for the rest of the year do I?

Last call for community team votes

I jumped off the Niu train. Decided it best to get Talau who will definitely make money and wait on Niu. Just get that BE back around 20 and I'll jump on next week.

Done mate

Luai + Katoa > Murray and Talau

Upgrading Lucy would be a 'nice to have' (to Yeo or Jtrbo as likely candidates, or McInnes if he gets DPP at the next update) if the rest of your team is sorted. But I wouldn't be trading out any of the other 3 barring long term injury

This week is doing my head in. I’m trading out katoa and turbo and just can’t stick on who to bring in, can’t decide between matterson cleary or ponga - I’m pretty happy with talau but my brains just in overdrive

Comes down to which position you're weaker at?

And this is in regards to your team not in the bedroom. just having a joke.

Lucy is firming as a final 17 keeper, but if luxury allows later in the year he could become a McInness, etc. but for now I am happy with that line up and cover. My backs are pretty thin.... I need to spend the next 4-5 weeks fixing that up.
