[Valheru]

I can't see anything other than a 30 point win in favour of the Broncos here. The roosters turned their form around in the last 3rd of the season but have well and truly checked out for the year now.

We will be interested for the first 20 minutes but that will be it.

 

[Maroon4life]

No injuries and not recovering from origin & Cozza's last home game, Broncos 12+ and as much as you want from there.

 

[Mogsheen Jadwat]

Brisbane by 20, ramping up their form at the right time of the year

 

[Maroon4life]

After the round 21 win the roosters had & all the big talk we saw in the game thread, i'm expecting a bit more of this from those heroes.

 

[Pete Cash]

Nah mate the broncos will win. So no bronco fans will go missing or chuck a kiwi.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

far out. i had brisbane limping into the finals, losing this and now they decide to get form. oh well. brisbane by 20

 

[Hawkins]

Brisbane to stay on top in the last week

 

[Pennies]

Broncs by 20.

 

[some11]

TKO is a big out, better it happened now than late pre-season though.

 

[ed-grimley]

Benny will be mightily pissed off if Brisbane loses this. Maranta to have a blinder.

 

[TheFrog]

The Roosters have been the nuisance side of the comp over the last few rounds, but now they cannot finish ahead of 50uff$ they have nothing to play for. If they could somehow find it within themselves to make an effort they could make the Broncos finish as low as 7th and have to play a final in Sydney but even last game they appeared to be on Kuta Beach already.

And I suppose also the last thing the NRL needs, having surrendered control of the emerald city to the AFL, is another final in Sydney first week. This alone should make the Broncos safe.

You're not bitter about our late season revival at all..

 

[THE CHAMP]

Once the chickens returned to full strength they were always going to cause some troubles.
Tko missing is a huge bonus for the broncs.
They should win but once they feel safe I can see the milf being given an early night.
Broncos by 14. Then with a little luck 4th

I just hate the Broncos, OK, and would love it if they lost every game. What I don't understand is why that should bother the likes of you.
