[Jono078]

Well... Which f**kin Roosters team will turn up?

I'll go with the Roosters though, their forward pack should be strong enough to control the Broncos go forward.

 

[adamkungl]

im not tipping us.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Brisbane by 24

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

I just can't see us winning this.
My only prediction is that Mason won't make more than ten tackles.

 

[Geohood]

Who knows...

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

LWLW.....both we games we won we scored 24 points and kept the opposition scoreless until the end and both games we lost we got smashed, so we're due for an arse kicking.

Haven't beaten the ponies at home since who the f**k knows.

Fittler to rush Mason back into the starting line up.

And I swear to god if we get Maxwell or Cummins, or, god forbid both, It's honestly game over before it begins.

we scored 28 against the faders

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Goes to show how sh*t Canbra are.

I don't think Archer has been too kind to us either.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Don't start on his performance on Friday night, or the final last year.

i'd still take Archer over those two clowns though.

 

[adamkungl]

Archers a f**kwit. They all are actually.

 

[Non Terminator]

Hmm, this will be good to see. Jono got it in one, who will turn up?
Hopefully us.

 

[Gaba]

broncos will win by 30+, the roosters show their defense struggles against the attacking sides ,

 

[Non Terminator]

We just need some consistency in our defence, we can do it well, but haven't proved it against any of the name sides yet. I think we can win, but it's gonna be a big mountain to climb to do it.

I think we'll need to be more patient and not cough up a lot of ball with the miracle pass. We also give away a lot of dumb penalties late in the tackle count and in the opposition's half. The final quarter of the game is going to be especially testing.

 

[OVP]

No, you dufus, we struggle against the sides who have very fast dummy half play. I.e. quick, little men running from dummy half. They run our big forwards ragged. However, most other parts of our defence is getting better and better, especially goal-line defence.

I think we can beat the Broncos. But i dont know what Roosters team will show up either. Whether we will beat them, is a mystery atm.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

Please stop impersonating somebody who actually knows what 2+2 equates to.

As OVP said, it's not attacking sides who trouble us the most (smashed Canberra) but to beat us they have to keep turning our pack around (which Brisbane will do anyway.) Tigers eventually did it and Souths did it from the start.

 

[Mr Saab]

Broncos by 2 is enough after that pathetic performance vs the Dragons

 

[Chook Norris]

hopefully we dont get sucked too much into the physical contest too, imo Brisbane's pack will be all over us; I'm thinking that Mason and Pini need to remain on the bench, we'll need that big lift in the middle of the first half

.. attack Brisbane's right hand side defence.. Folau's defensive weaknesses can be exploited

plenty of attacking potency out wide in the Brisbane's backline, we cannot afford to simply hand over the ball like the past few weeks and not expect them to score 50

i can see a barrage of tries being scored on both sides...
