@AJLucantonio You would think so. That's a red herring if ever I saw one. Given the Dolphins have arguably the NRL's best centre pairing, how much do you trust Egan to get his covering job done?
@AJLucantonio AJ, next week for the game vs Dolphins with the 6 players missing due to Origin, what would be your projected 1-7 for the team for that game?
@bondiroosters@james_spir19274 Everyone likes and admires Connor Watson. Would rather he play that bridging year at Easts but that's how it goes. I met him at south Bondi Beach about 2 years ago and found him to be a top fellow, unsurprisingly.
@AJLucantonio You'll take 4-18. I suppose you took 12-18 vs the Cowboys too. Yeah the defense is doing its job but we need to score points & that area's just dried up. Errors have gone through the roof again & it's like this group never learns from a lifetime of past football sins.
@AJLucantonio@EastsToWin1994 I cannot imagine a circumstance dire enough to warrant Junior Pauga ever being invited back into the first grade side. At least there shouldn't be.
@bondiroosters That was the only close game so not sure exactly how Magic Round delivered on the field.
Every other game had at least a 22 pt final margin. I don't think any of the games were even close at HT.
More like a Tragic Round in truth.
@bondiroosters Good question. Permanent fixture at Wentworth Park seemingly.
Maybe if his name was Junior Rodwell (which he is) he'd get a look in. Meanwhile the miserable likes of Junior Pauga & Junior Tupou get games instead when the top side are short out wide.
@wallyscr Wal, have you got any stats on how often the Broncos have trailed by double-digits to NIL in the 1st half of games going back to last year? This would include the game against Hull K-R. Seems to be very frequently if not most weeks.
@bondiroosters And a danger game it proved to be.
The team had been up for 6 weeks and a loss was coming somehwere along the line.
Junior Pauga cannot be allowed anywhere near the game day first grade squad ever again.
@bondiroosters I had no idea about this. The last I heard about Kane Evans was his supporting role as the 'shadow boxer' in the infamous leaked Dylan Napa lewd home video.
@bondiroosters I agree with that. That inauspicious start he had in Las Vegas, the immediate suspension and then he never really delivered or gave us too much to admire. A short burst player with a limited engine. The club massively overpaid for him and he underperformed.
@bondiroosters@NRLSilverback It was rather forgettable to be fair. The Storm hung 48 on them that day. So one Top 4 finish and one Preliminary final in 5 years. I know they "nearly" made the PF the year before when they got beaten on the bell by the Storm with that miracle Warbrick try in the corner.
