Warriors by the number of decimals of pi.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Heart says Brisbane, head says Warriors. When it comes to tipping, the head always wins.

Warriors by 8.

 

[Big Pete]

Warriors should be red hot favourites going in and I can't see the Broncos winning. I expect a much better performance but they just don't have the points to scare off New Zealand in NZ.

In saying, the scheduling here is bloody poor. Who thought it'd be a good idea to have the Broncos play NZ in not one but two Origin affected rounds?

To make matters worse, the club has a 5 day turn around against Melbourne in Melbourne. Life is hard enough as it is for the Broncos without a draw like this in what is traditionally one of their toughest periods of the competition.

 

[SilentOne]

Warriors 12+

Sorry Broncs fans, but you have a pretty average 6,7 and 9.

 

[Grapple]

Warriors by 4.

First try scorer either Tomkins for Warriors or Barba for Brisbane.

 

[Rebel]

We will get home here but it wont be a beating like last time.

Probably the first game in ages that we will start as favourites. Wonder if that will affect the boys.

 

[Warmess]

This game scares me. Hopefully we keep on our run, but the bye makes things interesting for our mentality.

I'll tip us as if we keep the roll going, but I could see it going either way.

Warriors by 10

 

[Juju]

I could actually see the Warriors losing this one - getting complacent after the win streak and bye... hmmmm

 

[Evil_Mush]

In the last 10 years the Warriors have won on both sides of a bye round 3 times (1 in each of 2007/2008/2010), whereas the Broncos have got the back to back wins around a bye 6 times (1 in each of 2011/2010/2006/2003, 2 in 2005).

So with both teams going into the bye with a win, will be interesting to see who gets to improve the above stat (or will it be a draw?).

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

This game concerns me. If we try to pick up where we left off against the Broncs last time we'll get done.

The performances against the Eels and Panthers is still fresh enough in my mind. We competed and for long periods during games dominated most teams in the top 8 but came out and didn't even look like firing a shot against two of the lesser teams.

Complacency/arrogance scares me here, but at home I'm hoping it won't happen as both of those previously mentioned games were away.

 

[Evil_Mush]

Another interesting little stat which I found out from Crowd Goes Wild last night, is that the Warriors have never gone undefeated for the whole month of June. So just another piece of history we'll attempt to break this year!

 

[Mr Saab]

No one tipping Broncos? I will. Broncos by 6.

 

[Card Shark]

No one tipping Broncos? I will. Broncos by 6.

Have a good 1-13 but not so sure about the bench.

Warriors due for a loss & I think the bye might be the catalyst to halt their momentum, so I'll agree with you.

Hope I'm wrong though.

 

[jamaman]

Warriors will won

 

[Misanthrope]

Warriors to trounce those no good Queensderps.

Warriors by 20.

 

[Tipster]

We got thus cuz

 

[Grapple]

Laumape playing in NSW cup (just ran the field and scored). Probably means Locke back at Fullback and Fish to the wing.

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

When Laumape gets in the clear his running style is hilarious. Tiny strides with the head back :lol:

 

[Manu Vatuvei]

wow. Almost a miracle from Peachey but good scramble by the Vulcans.
