Excited to be heading into a new, fresh week and even more excited and ready to get into the second Round of this 2024 competition. This will be our first game on Australian soil for the Regular Season and while Vegas was great, it'll be really nice to be back into some form of normality. Can't wait for this one as the boys travel up to Brisbane on Thursday night to take on the Broncos in an absolute blockbuster. It might still be Sunday, but I am pumped for this one!!
We've built up a bit of a rivalry with the Broncos in recent years. Ever since the whole Bennett-Seibold thing, there's certainly been a bit of feeling between the two clubs. And while both those coaches are no longer at either club, the feeling of dislike still remains, I'm sure. At least, it does for me. That feeling is probably fueled now by Reynolds' departure to them. Would love to get one over him again! Especially after the way things ended up last year.
Look, there's no two ways about it, there's no way to sugarcoat it, this is going to be an extremely big challenge on Thursday night. Like, huge. Brisbane are one of the genuine heavyweights of this competition and are one of the hardest teams to play against as it stands, especially at their home ground. They've got a team full of superstars and what's even worse, is that they lost Round 1 so will be looking for a bounce back in a big way. While at our best we can be a competition heavyweight, we are far from that at the moment and heading into Round 2, there are still massive question marks hanging over us. We really let ourselves down in the last 30 minutes of Round 1, so this week is all about bouncing back ourselves and proving to everyone that we still deserve to be in the conversation. Going up to Brizzy and getting a result would make a massive statement. Will go into tactics later in the week as we build up to kick off but for now, I'll just say I really want to see a response from the boys this week. A massive response.
Rise to the challenge lads.
Let's goooooo.
