And Brisbane's spine is what exactly?

Barba and Hoffman can be their linebreakers. They'll supply the razzle dazzle. Hunt can steer them around.

The Dogs are some good forwards (and T-Rex) surrounded by a bunch of average to below average players.

FWIW I don't think the Broncos are much better. I have these two teams finishing 9th and 10th. But I think Brisbane have just enough points in them to get the win.

Where are the Doggies points coming from? Very mediocre spine IMO. Broncos got dis.

Brisbane won a premiership in 2006 with Shane Perry at halfback.

SHANE

f**kING

PERRY.

Hell, we had Kris Keating in 7 for the 2012 season and made the GF after winning the minor premiership.

Spine's aren't the be-all and end-all, and ours is pretty decent considering.

 

[lockyno1]

Timmah, yes...but Lockyer was next to him lol

I think we (Broncos) are not as bad as some may be making out. Yes, questionable personnel decisions from the inept coach though we have a solid pack (albeit Parker out of position) and if Hunt can steer us around the park, we have some players who can put points on the board (especially when we get some back from injury). Hoffman at 6 isn't in my opinion the answer though he will defend there and in attack B###a will be charged with being the spark in attack. We will see how we it goes.

The jury is out on the Brisbane Broncos and the jury will have 6 weeks to deliberate on the future of Hook.

Yes but that's Bennett and Hasler. If nothing else, those two can take an average half and make sure he does all the necessary things as a role playing half, while accentuating the other strengths of the squad

I doubt Griffin has that in him

 

[Card Shark]

Looking forward to this game to see how bad these 2 teams are.

 

[SilentOne]

Is Parker really going to play at prop? strange.

 

[BunniesMan]

I currently have a perfect record in the tipping. I'm on a hot streak. Broncos fans rejoice.

 

[Swarzey]

f**k Barba, I can't wait to listen to Wally lose his shit over every Broncos tackle!

 

[BranVan3000]

Off topic but what a bunch of Roosters apologists over SBW shouldering a guy flush in the face. Lockyer had to stop himself from calling Finch and Fittler a bunch of idiots

 

[isaiah]

broncs 20's come from well behind to win. gonna have a good year, those young'ins.

and parker was a bald prop for almost the whole first half of his nrl career.

 

[Swarzey]

It's justified. It's a rule that sucks, but nonetheless, it's a rule and we can't make exceptions, especially when it's the exact reason why it was banned in the first place. Any lesser known player would cop the 4 weeks and not a word said, yet a media darling get done and it's all doom and gloom.

Happened last year with GI and the leg twists.

 

[Aragorn]

dogs to take home a bone tonight.

 

[Aragorn]

what happen to Inu & Kasiano? AWOL as usual.

 

[macnaz]

Another Friday night, another Broncos game.

This ↑↑↑↑ The tradition continues

 

[blaza88z]

Bulldogs are clear cut favourites, which does surprise me

 

[user_nat]

So what kind of quality pre game stuff are we missing in Queensland?

 

[Swarzey]

Typical Channel 9 rambling.

 

[lockyno1]

What time is the game meant to start FFS

There hasn't been a talking dog or horse so I'd say it's good by Nine's standards.
