If I were a betting man I'd have a dollar or two on the Broncos at $2.40 at home in front of a packed house. Golden point anyone?

Did you see us play last week?

The Cowboys played trash and still won easily. We aren’t winning this game. They are a mile better than us.

Brisbane aren’t the only top team who played like ass last week

Might’ve been the kick up the arse they needed, I expect them to bounce back

 

[Das Gupta]

I bet Bennett will have Milford primed for a big game after last week.
Broncs by 1.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Su’a likely to get a week off from what was already a pretty thin bench

 

[PANTHERMIKE]

Any team that thinks playing Sam Thaiday at hooker is a great idea, wont win a game all year...

Even knowing he wont start there this week

Cowboys

The only thing Milford is primed for is the all you can eat buffet!

We will still lose 13+. I don’t mind though I expect the Cowboys to win the whole thing

 

[blaza88z]

We should improve and I expect we will but this Cowboys side is stacked, they won't have to be at their best to beat us but being a rivalry I assume they will be

Reminds me of our forum for the first ten years or so

Yeah but they didn’t have to put up with Carl Webb or Scott minto.

Wait hang on

At least Parramatta lost

Wasn't that easy. You don't really want to be relying on Moylan bombing tries in the shadows of fulltime.

The Broncos had "ignore this run" written all over them. They wouldn't be the first side to recover from a round 1 belting from Merge, but they are up against a seriously mean pack of forwards.

They were in control the whole match though. Basically hit cruise control. The two Sharks tries came off comical errors

 

[9701]

I hope the Cows put 50 on the merkins

 

[FireFalcons1]

Cowboys are too good

Cowboys by 14

 

[Shorty]

Hard to tell, I feel like we played 'capable' on Friday night, also think the Sharks were the best of the losing sides, so we 'should' win.
Broncos need to lift for this game as their fans will not tolerate a Cows flogging.
