'14 // R3 // Fri // Broncos 26-30 Roosters // Suncorp

[BCH]

Should be good support @ Suncorp for the Chooks. Broncos ticket allocation to Rooster members has been exhausted.

 

[Snappy]

All away teams get good support in Brisbane.

 

[_Johnsy]

should be a good game

Danish, Yeh section 639 is up pretty high, but the stands jack up quite steeply. You will get a very good overall view of the game.

Personally though, I always prefer to be on the lower sections at Suncorp. I sacrifice a good overall view, to be closer to the action.

 

[blaza88z]

I haven't ever been to a game where the away team's bay wasn't packed

Roosters were hardly stellar Round 1. Not going to count the Round 2 witches hat game against Parra. Will be a tough game but it won't blow out. Smart money is Roosters 1-12. That said I hope we knock them off just for the LOL's.

 

[Big Pete]

One of the greatest commentator blow ups of all time when that angle was shown.

Alexander must have had a stack of cash riding on the game because he sounds moments away from charging into the video referee's box and throttling him :lol:

:lol: you're not wrong.

The best part of that whole passage of commentary is that Daley of all people decides to play devil's advocate and puts up a BM esque defence of the decision before the replay shot it all to bits.

Brandy doesn't care for Brisbane at the best of times, that decision just about caused him to pop a blood vessel!

Never the less, the last three games at Suncorp have all been close affairs between both sides and I can see that trend continuing. You'd have to think the defending premiers would have too much class for this Broncos line-up but stranger things have happened.

I'm just glad we're playing a benchmark team to see where we really are.

Sucks Williams is out - the last time he played at Suncorp was also his last game before he left, from memory he tore us a new one.

 

[Chook]

Chooks by 10.

Chook.

I know they put 50 on Parramatta and people will be jumping out of trees to make them a sure thing to beat the over-achieving Broncos (if you believe what you read on here) but anyone who watched that game would know they were scoring tries off standard ball play, none of them tries made me think "oh shit! how do you stop them scoring there!"

Yow Yeh will be doing a lap of honor pre-game, so there's another reason to get the ground.

I think it's important to note that we've won 2 from 2 and both times the other team has been very ordinary at times, I like to think our defense would be responsible for that to a degree and as bad as our halves look on paper, our backs are starting to find their feet and our backrow and forward pack is up there with some of the better teams going around.

I don't predict a 13+ result but think the Roosters will win

That's a great gesture I reckon, great work by the Broncs.

Yow Yeh's number 5 jersey is 'retired' for this match.

[Rhino_NQ]

broncos should be fresh for this one after their 3rd 7 day turnaround in a row

roosters by 22

 

[GongPanther]

It'll be a torrid affair if the Broncos can take a leaf out of the Souths effort from two weeks ago and really rush up and hustle in defense.

The Roosters have now a few weeks that were needed to get into form,and in the second half should draw away from a valiant young Broncos outfit.

Easts 28-16.

 

[user_nat]

broncos should be fresh for this one after their 3rd 7 day turnaround in a row

I count 2.

 

[Harrigan]

I can't see it being a blowout but I think the Roosters will win. The Broncos D has been very good in the first 2 weeks though and that will keep them in it.

I'm saying 22-12 Chooks
