Geez is this the war IBM was talking about? Torn ACL, torn calf & broken wrist.

We'll see after we can assess how we wash up against the Storm at AAMI Park. It won't be easy by any stretch. The Cows though are starting to lose experience left and right. Tough year ahead probably. Thurston can't save them on his own.

As always, the home side to get home in golden point.

Close, but no cigar.

Cows by 1 in GP.

First post nailed it.

Roberts is a dud. If it weren't for his speed he'd be a NSW Cup plodder. Doesn't incolve himself enough, to the Broncos' detriment.

Give me a player like Linnett who may not be as gifted an athlete but busts his gut on every run and tackle.

Javed Bowen, Kalyn Ponga and Gideon Gela-Mosby say hi....

Another feather in the cap of JT. With Mat Scott off the field and the backline completely reshuffled to constantly involve himself and influence the play is a real testament to him. Again it's difficult to appreciate since it's at my club's expense but sometimes you've just got to sit back and applaud.

A bitter loss for the Broncos, by rights they really should have won it but some poor errors at critical moments cost them. Still plenty of positives moving forward and if they don't take the loss to heart they'll be up amongst it. Their bench in particular with Arrow, Ese'ese and Pangai Jr has impressed me so far this year and appears to be a real improvement over last year's offering.

Arrow in particular impresses me since he's one of the few Broncos who can lay on a hit. The rest of the line is very submissive, so it's refreshing to see a guy who isn't afraid to throw himself into every play full throttle.

Also while his effort on Glenn was ordinary, I really want Coen Hess in the Origin side sooner rather than later.

What is the present status of the war? Has a victor been decided yet?

 

[blaza88z]

You blokes are really giving IBM some airtime with this battle & war shit, lol

People rag on us but we provide a pretty good level of entertainment. good to see that someone recognises this. Cheers BP.

It was a great game from both teams, if you can't acknowledge that you're not worth the time.

??? I'm saying both teams deserved points? You seem to be looking for a fight.

Come now IBM

It's not like you to be bitter .....

 

[Shorty]

Lol Most Broncs fans get more bitter with each loss, if you are playing against a premiership winning team with possibly the best player ever, surely you expect some losses.

I did with Lockyer, Langer, Hodges etc.

Milford and Hunt are still partial to folding under pressure, that's the Broncos' biggest issue.

Especially considering latching on to that of all things is just amazingly petty lol

Yes. I am becoming more bitter with each loss to the Cowboys. Especially when I don't consider them to be premiership contenders this year. The other two things that shits me is Hunt going missing at the end and the decision to kick penalty goals against them all of the time. Their defence isn't impenetrable. The Cows know that two points is worth the risk when they know they will most likely concede six. You won't beat the Cowboys without scoring tries. The Broncos defence isn't 2015 worthy and the touch football style ruck will stop defence from dominating ever again.

Imagine throwing several million dollars at one of them...

Haha, Dragons just need to stock up on some cartons of confidence - he's almost as temperamental as Sandow.

does that mean you think Brisbane won the battle or war?

it's time you accepted that Brisbane can't even win a meat tray when playing the Cows

My first post in months, to say that was outstanding viewing on Friday night. This matchup I think has now transcended past the typical to demographic. I'd even go as far as to say it's an "origin-lite" game.
