IMO the Broncos biggest test yet.
Playing on a Saturday (this is not fair....Brisbane should be playing on their beloved Friday) will rattle them.

Still think the Broncos can get them by 4-8 points.

tough tough game might have to go brisbane but who knows

[user_nat]

Almost depends what Warriors turn up.

Any word on Johnson and Locke?

Locke is out for a month, unsure about Johnson.

Broncos by 12..

Brisbane 13+.

Also, Teo back for the Broncos. I think he'll be looking for a big game after coming back from suspension and rumours of him going to Souths next year around.

Law of averages, something has to go the Warriors way.

hahaha if he goes to Souths, I will probably drop to the ground in laughter

he left Wests to spice up his career, he's turned into a good player with us, so he's going back to... Souths?



wouldn't be a huge loss for us if that happened, considering the depth of backrowers we have

Look what going to Souths did for Dave Taylor's career. Only took him 3 seasons to find some form.

Like you said though, Broncos have backrowers a' plenty. Teo is a good player, but his spot can easily be filled by one of the thousand talented backrowers we have coming through.

Broncs by 4. Expect the Warriors to lift, but might come up short here.

Well, did you?



I think Warriors will win this. Their forwards made Melbourne look like schoolgirls, and having Hurrell back in the line up itching for some game time, combined with Inu relegated to interchange (lol as if, bro!) are big positives.
Not to mention the fact this game has been pretty well advertised over here for the Sat night, the crowd might just play into advantage....

Warriors 22
