Hayne to miss this game. Broncos by 40.

Didn't realise that Hayne was so vital for defense.

You predicted Brisbane score 24 points earlier.

Best form of defense is attack. You lose your one good attacker and it puts a lot more pressure on you when you defend. More pressure = more points.

The '40' was a bit of an exaggeration but it won't be far off. I reckon 38-6 now.

Broncs but only just. Eels to fire up at home. Not liking their backline, that is the real decider for me. Theyll be a pretty good team once Hayne comes back in and they get rid of Esi Tonga.. I don't even know how he got a start

 

[natheel]

We have Sandow, We got this!

 

[Big Pete]

Honestly wouldn't surprise me to see the Eels try an ambush and bring in either Hayne, Willie Tonga or both at the last minute and push Fui into the start line-up.

Even if they don't, I'm really weary about this match. It's Round 1, both teams are going to be rusty and all it takes is one good performance from a good player to win it. If Brisbane aren't careful, they could get absolutely blitzed by Sandow early and I really don't like the prospects of having Norman play from behind.

I predict the Broncos will win, but I'm definitely not as confident as some. Just glad the footy is back and I get to watch my team enter a new phase.

Have to love the proof readers over at NRL.com.

In the match preview for this game..

Adding to the Broncos’ assignment is the fact they haven’t beaten Parramatta without Darren Lockyer in their ranks since June 2004.

.. and then at the end..

The Last Time They Met: The Broncos, with Corey Norman deputising for Darren Lockyer and with a host of other Origin stars rested, rolled the Eels 16-12 on a slippery Parramatta Stadium surface in Round 17 last year.

Fail.

Apparently Hayne is now a chance of playing - as he already was, I assume they mean a bigger chance of playing.
Kearney says the lad(s) has been running well today.
And Luke Burt will be the goal-kicker.

 

[Smiley]

Anderson ruled out. Replaced by former Cowboy Nick Slyney.

A Hayne ambush is the only thing that can save this.
