Haha he’s staring at me from the 13 as well . It surely doesn’t end well

Poorly coached mate is what it is. The roster is good enough to be in the 8

Is it tho?

Spine good (3/4 ain’t bad), pack average to diabolical if no Murray, outside backs NSW Cup level. Bad depth. They’re basically a middling team that can finish 7th-14th. Can only blame the coach so much

Think it's going to take a lot of standing and applauding to get them to 7th...

Playing Chan over Salmon/Berry/Hughes/Galvin this week.

Think he'll have to do a bunch more work against the SJ edge, should see some scores.

That said, also tempted to run Berry who'll get to run at Chan/Pezet edge.

Hmmmm

Long season, something could click. How’d people think the Knights were gonna go this time last season?

Dragons were dead certs for the spoon and one week later they’re bookies faves away at Dolphins

But yeah on balance Souffs most likely finish just outside 8.

You must have some depth!

I’m playing Salmon and Chan. Hutch/Levi loop for 17th

I reckon I’d play Chan in your case

Salmon and Chan both starting for me. Expecting at least 75. Combined not each

Gone 3 Roosters on the bench for impact*

*cos they play later

Less 'good depth' and more 'too many midrangers' - my eternal weakness.

Hutch/Levi seems a good loop option, nice.

Happy for any of your thoughts on how to run this mob mate!

Haas Smithies Bodyslam
Cleary Strange
Burbo Kris

I don't think people understand just how massively over-owned Broncos players are. You will basically always be worse off than the "average" team after they have played
This is the total ownership of all players on a club by club basis.

Broncos are so far out in front its not funny. I have no idea why this is the case

 

Club	Total owners
Broncos	559097
Bulldogs	295951
Roosters	295045
Canberra	285937
Manly	274768
Souths	259047
Storm	256755
Penrith	249578
Cowboys	193768
Dragons	192147
Warriors	163510
Sharks	157225
Dolphins	132604
Parra	120929
Knights	109836
Tigers	108719
Titans	101642

In Graph form

The people, they love the Thursday/Friday night Broncos.

Explains why I've gone from 24k to 75k with Piakura and Haas (vc).

Calling Johnston Wighton Graham and Munro NSW cup level is arguably the worst footy take I've ever read

Thats how I feel. Thought I had good depth, but Salmon is definitely in my 17. Below him are Flano, Hughes, Chan and Levi.

If Graham was playing I’d agree with you.

Have to laugh at wigthon chasing a trophy.

Raiders would absolutely destory the bunnies, with or without him.

Mmmm. Donuts with sprinkles.

Yep lol, like Salmon's my 15th man, I've got Chan behind him and am using Kini to loop in one of Hughes, Strange, Levi or maybe Galvin if I trade him in.

if anyone isnt running Salmon they'd have a weak spot elsewhere, maybe cheap WFB or Strange at centre.

I back Strange to pick up the scoring, but i'd rather be playing Salmon at the moment.

I've been crunching the numbers, if Levi scores 30 points I'll have enough funds to go straight from Levi to Campbell in 1 trade next week

I feel attacked. Playing both.

Went from 30k to 101k with Haas last night. Might have to borrow the famous Rabbit’s charge.

Hmmmm

I'm playing Salmon and have Chan in the loop, which is probably popular if people have the option.

I'd still be a little concerned about the chance that Blore or Bradley could come in for Chan in final team lists. And we wont even see the 24hr cut before the Bulldogs kick-off. Don't necessarily think it's likely, but Bellamy's comments enough to put some doubt out there.

Last night Wighton, Munro and Graham were not playing. But Munro is literally a NSW cup player at this stage and Graham might be done for 2024

So to correct the record - outside backs is two good players and NSW Cup level
