I'll be at this game with my buck the broncos shirt on. I would like for Melbourne to do what Manly did to the Warriors tonight but without the try from the opposition and an extra 4 points.

 

[Shorty]

It's probably going to be the opposite Lotti,going on the past few games...

 

[Stewie Griffin]

go the Broncos!

13+!! YAY!!!

 

[Ice777]

The Bronco's are flying and by far the form team of the comp. The Storm are just traveling and hardly striking any fear into anyone at this early stage of the season. That being said i'm quietly confident that we'll turn it around this week and have a win.

We've been well below par and i have a feeling that playing the Bronc's and all the other sh*t that has gone down will bring out our best at home and get over the line.

 

[Butters]

Melbourne to turn a corner here and get back to the form of 06-07. Melbourne to win 16-6

 

[kia ora storm]

Not sure about this one...Storm need to start with 100% intensity. They are not matching their opposition from the kick off and play catch up pretty much the whole game.

No Crocker again ???...I reckon there will be a late change ??.

Quinn and Folau will need to be on their game against Hodges and Boyd. A lot of tries have been scored by these two and the Sharks killed them down this side as well.

Having said all that...OP on a Friday night carries weight and Storm will win this by 8.

 

[dragondad]

Maxwell will be wearing orange.

 

[OuTkAsT]

Broncos by 7.. Peter Wallace MOM.. It will be a good game, it always is!

 

[mxlegend99]

I'm tipping Storm here.

Main reason is i can't see them losing 3 in a row, and the Broncos have to lose one sooner or later. That said, i'm not feeling very confident. The Broncos are in great form and it will take a great 80minute performance to beat them.

 

[Timmah]

I tipped the Storm last week because I couldn't see them losing back to back.

This week I'm not taking that risk. Brisbane are the form team of the comp and snotted NQ even without Hunt and Locky. They'll win this.

 

[Dani]

I hope we win even more now. Just so Timmah can eat his words

 

[Timmah]

Go Roosters I hear you say?

 

[Shorty]

Broncs beat us because we were woeful,same deal with Panthers.
They beat the Roosters..on controversial grounds - But still beat them none the less.

I think I will tip the Broncos because Storm most probably aren't going to change their game plan and it's going to get exploited again - Just on this fact alone I think Broncos will win.

If Storm do improve from last week and turn up different,they'll probably win...hard game really.

 

[lotti]

oh no not the Maxwell/Cooley double couldn't the NRL have found someone better than them?

 

[Timmah]

They did it to piss you off lotti.

Now off to the Manly thread, turncoat :arrow:

 

[voltron]

GO the broncs!
3 in a row for the storm!!

 

[miccle]

Tipping and obviously hoping for a Broncos win.

Not confident, though. Storm are class across the park and won't want to lose 3 in a row. With no confidence at all, Brisbane, but I just can't wait to see what will hopefully be a really good clash.

 

[lockyno1]

Not confident one bit in this one, but I will say this if Melbourne lose this one, they could struggle a bit to get a top 4 finish.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Might be going to this one

GO BRONCOS!!
