[kia ora storm]

Broncos by 8..

 

[Maroon4life]

Broncos 12+.

Good showing needed against a weak team to lead into the early season test against the Cowboys.

 

[Whino]

Panthers by 6.
With an eye on the following weeks gf rematch Broncos laziness and arrogance will cost them victory.

 

[Snappy]

Class difference will be evident. Brisbane by 13+

 

[footy75]

Complacency is the only reason Broncos wont win.

 

[Johnnie Red]

Broncs with a 3-0 start to the year.

13+

 

[umina panther]

Brisbane by 6 seems about right. Our fowards have matched Canberra and out performed Dogs so they'll keep us in this. Hopefully TMM debuts.

 

[pantherz9103]

If we somehow win this we might do something this season

If not the Knights better get ready for some competition at the bottom of the table.

The Broncos have not won at Penrith since 2009. I'm certainly hoping they come to the Riff thinking they are playing a weak team.

Penrith do need some spark in attack. With Moylan likely to be out I'm hoping TMM gets a run. Still, I think we'll be struggling to breach their defence if it turns up and pays appropriate respect to the opposition. I don't see where the 20+ points needed to beat this mob is going to come from.

Nonetheless, I think this will be the Broncos' toughest outing of the season thus far. This game will draw a crowd close to capacity on Saturday night and this will help the home side I expect.

Penaltygoal-a-thon coming up.

 

[mxlegend99]

Hard to imagine a win here after failing against the Raiders and Bulldogs with both games there to be won. Broncos won't let us get into that position to begin with.

Broncos by 16.

 

[Rhyno]

Penaltygoal-a-thon coming up.

Yup this is gonna be a real snoozefest

 

[user_nat]

When is Moylan due back?
I think Penrith are a good chance if he is back for this one.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Brisbane by plenty

 

[some11]

That right side still worries me, Penrith can actually compete for 80 mins unlike the Warriors.

 

[Rhyno]

Broncos by 10

Agree Brisbane will still be out for revenge for losing the Grand Final and therefore will not be focussed enough to bet the Panthers, and vice versa with the Panthers losing against Dogs. Panthers by 2

 

[mxlegend99]

Wanye Bennett is too smart to let his team get ahead of themselves. The Cowboys game isn't going to effect the Broncos at all. They will be looking to smash every team they face and go on and win the minor premiership. They look specials for it this year.

 

[TheFrog]

Even if they win the minor premiership, they will still lose at least 6 games. This could be one of them.
