08 :: R9 Sun :: Broncos 12 Sea Eagles 30 @ Suncorp

[Maroon and White]

:lol: We've obviously done a great job in fooling six teams in the opening eight weeks... winning and averaging almost 30 points per game to top the table. Pretty average, no?

Not confident about this one, though. Then again, we've performed well without Lockyer and Hodges this year - it'll be a tough game. I'll abstain from tipping here - either side by 1-10 points IMO.

I hate to say it but the Roosters should have beaten you. Watching that game I couldn't for the life of me understand how you guys were leading - And I don't have no soft spot for the Rorters, believe me!

 

[Maroon and White]

I'd like to know how a team thats at the top of the table is over rated. You need to actually win games to be at the top.

Just my opinion and I guess we won't know til the end of the year, huh?

 

[Maroon and White]

So are your side

No, there is a difference to being over-achievers and over-rated. Manly are over-achievers, definitely. We will see where the Knights are in the final wash up

But surely the mark of a really decent team is when they can seemingly play worse than their opposition, but hold their composure and grind out the two points?? That game's a bad example though - the Roosters got shockingly dudded on numerous ref calls and there simply wasn't any equality at all that night.

I think the Broncos are the sort of team that aren't exactly overrated - but they can score 30+ points without you even noticing that they're piling up. Dunno whether that's a good or a bad thing in the end, they aren't hugely clinical or dominant like Melbourne, but they can certainly pile on the meat pies.

 

[Dutchy]

I don't know what my fellow fans are going on about saying Broncos are over-rated.

2008 will yet again be the Year of the Bronco.

 

[t-ba]

Can't wait for this one.

I've got work at Six though, so It's going to be a bit of a mad dash to get there. It's a good thing I work in an industry where smelling like Beer isn't necessarily a fireable offence...

 

[JW]

Over-rated? Who's rating us?

 

[Maroon and White]

Over-rated? Who's rating us?

OMG, listening to Ch 9 and the wank fest over Wallace, Thaiday, Carroll et al makes me wanna throw up - and other Manly fans are buying it as well. In Ben Ikin you have an ideal public relations rep!

Surely you can't be a Manly fan? What sort of Manly fan would be tipping the Broncos for the premiership FFS?! :?

He is the same guy tipping Manly to miss the 8 a few weeks ago. He bags out Manly more than an average parra fan, its all about making friends on websites for him.

 

[Geohood]

I tipped Eagles for this one.

ivan henjak will definately want to show his the real deal as he is taking over next yr as coach, so i'll definately tip broncos, broncos at suncrorp = very hard and i dont think at this stage sea eagles can do it,
They'll put up a good fight but i think broncos will run away with it
broncos by 12+

 

[Sea_Eagles_Rock]

Not sure about the score, but if the Manly crowd turns up like last year it will be an awesome atmosphere. The stands were packed with Manly fans last year.

I'm taking the kids to this. They haven't watched a Manly lose yet! :lol:

 

[effnic]

I thought Hodges is out? Oh well not looking good for us with Bani out aswell, he will miss 4 weeks. Im gonna base my tip on one man, if choc plays we win if not we lose.

 

[Maroon and White]

I was confident but we have too many injuries and I don't like the balance of our team without Watmough, King, Bani and maybe Stewart. We can't cover for injuries like some other teams.

Broncos by 18

 

[Billigan]

is brett stewart playing? Hes in the line up but watching fox sports news he said hes not taking any chances with his injury and will miss this match. This is the year of the bronco!

 

[clipser]

if stewart and watman don't play... game will be brisbanes

 

[RainMan]

Watman won't play. Neither will Watmough.

 

[Timmah]

You Manly fans are quiet...
