Swap both halfbacks to make it an even contest. Seibold should be giving any number of the rookie halves the Broncos have a run, Nikorima is an impact bench hooker.

Oh and Tedesco vs Boyd should be a cracker too, I wonder who sells him a dummy this week?

Unless another Rooster decides to fill Napa’s void, I can’t see th Broncs coming away with the win here.

Can't see the Broncos winning this although I expect them to get better and better.

Broncos did beat us twice last year and we may have a few out yet so it will be tough

Traditionally this is a very physical game.

If the Roosters don’t have JWH for this match they might struggle to handle the Broncos pack.

We borderline threw the second game as we tapered for the finals (and maybe to also troll Bennett into thinking his team wasn't shit lol), but your point stands - the Broncos do often go well against us.

Their second phase play tends to trouble us. The key will be to improve our insipid ball control and grind them into the dirt. They don't like tough footy as Tariq Sims has shown two games running by bashing their highly touted pups.

Roosters by 8.

Roosters have played on the scg many times. The Broncos never. Kicking on that ground is much more difficult as the sidelines are miles from the fence. Unless you’re used to it, it can bring teams undone.

That being said, the Bronx don’t have the class of the Choox anyway.

Battle of the TPA's

I anticipate we will be better than we were against the Dragons but the Roosters have too much class in their backline
