Its a shame the tits aren't full strength as I think they would at least trouble the Broncos.
Unpredictability is what you want to break that defensive line but with Roberts out probably asking a bit too much.
Hopefully score is kept respectable, Titans have improved a lot already this year.

f**king typical, 2 Qld teams having to play at a time that suits a NSW viewing time. If you ever need a good example why we can't expand its because of this Sydney centric thinking for a so-called national comp.

That's said. Broncos 22-18 after leading 22-6 at half time, Broncos have been quiet in the 2nd half for most games this season and the Titans will be up for this game

If you're being serious its our fault we don't have daylight savings.

I can't imagine how frustrating it must be to run a business in the Tweed area.

I could be completely wrong here, and will no doubt be flamed by Broncos fans, but although they seem to be able to put together some scintillating attack early in games when things are going their way (which is every game thus far), there is a fragility about them when the opposition stands up to them later in games. At those times their star studded backline look like a bunch of hacks. Last week should have been a draw. It would have been a fair reflection of the events on the night. But they'd had all the running in the first half. The same happened the previous game. Coaches are waking up to their weaknesses.

It will take a much better side than the Titans to stop the Broncos though. But I believe they are false favourites.

Pretty sure you're a panfers fan.
Still rock hard after that win I see.
Calling the Broncos backline a bunch of hacks is like calling Penrith a premiership contender

Typical Broncos filth. Perfectly happy to shit on other sides but you can't do it to the chosen ones. Oh no.

Lets see if I'm proven right, just like last year.

The demographics of the NRL, in particular Sydney having nine teams and Brisbane one, mean that in order to get the highest possible ratings, the FTA provider shows the Broncos on Friday night just about every week. This one-team-city status also affords advantages other teams could only dream of, and is the principal reason the Broncos only miss the finals about once a decade.

The down side is that NSW has more viewers overall than Queensland, and thus dictates when kickoffs take place while daylight saving (it is singular not plural) is in operation.

You take the good with the bad.

As a neutral, Broncos to win by the tooth count of 10 random Souffs supporters.

They would have to something seriously wrong to even go close to losing this.

By the way, when was the last time the Titans were on FTA? Seems like forever.

I'm sick to death of seeing this soulless, history-less, arrogant, shit-stained club on TV every Friday night. You will NEVER get my ratings points Channel Nein ... a big f**k you for showing this uninteresting, Superleague-creating filthy club every week.

Come on NITV pull through for me like last time ... Dave Chappelle to the rescue.

Yeah, Panthers are clearly favourites, the entire RL community just hasn't woken up to it yet.

That doesn't even make sense

I liked it better when the Broncos had every Friday night 2nd game 9:30 slot so I didn't have to watch them but still get my Friday footy fix... Now these merkins are unavoidable...

Eels should be the premiership favourites but I'm not complaining I'm loving the massive overs we are paying
