If Tracey is at half hopefully he doesn't do many forward passes.

Hopefully!
Got a little bit of a reputation for it going unfortunately but if he is able to settle in for a full game at half should be okay.

Previously reviewing the one earlier in the year, I think it was to J Morris, a lot of people had JMo at least partially to blame, not just Tracey (Tracey still threw it forward, but bad positioning by our backs).
From hooker Tracey tends to pause for a split second, which Brailey doesn't, so his timing is off and our players need to adjust for that until he can get confident enough at that position to eliminate it. So also kinda his fault, kinda not.

At the end of the day if it will be forward you shouldn't throw it but easier said than done in the heat of the moment, especially for a young player.

That makes sense.

Chad out 4-6 weeks.

We won't be short of pace in our halves with Tracey there, that's for sure.

I'm very interested to see what team Bomber come up with this week. May give us an indication of how he rates the next generation of backs. He has done well with the big boppers so hope he keeps the good work up.

Was it similar last year. The Broncos were missing a lot of players, out of form and they beat us at shark park?

Yes but that seems like every time we play them

We should have won a game at Suncorp last year if Bakuya passed the ball instead of holding it and running - maybe that was in 2018, whatever we either butcher our games against them or just outright get done over

At least now we’ll get a golden point game. Exciting

Word is that a Trindall will be in the 17. Hopefully that’s the case. Tracey hasn’t done enough for automatic selection as backup 7 in my opinion.

To be fair on Tracey he hasn’t played in the halves much.
