[THE CHAMP]

No excuses here.
We are at home.
It's a Friday night game.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Tits won't go down without a fight. Broncos 26-16

 

[TheFrog]

The Titans will attempt to play in the middle third all night, with their trench warfare style game, while the Broncos will be wanting to give the ball air. Whichever side succeeds will take this out. The Titans are not without a chance, especially if Jazz finds his feet.

I know they overcame the Storm in Melbourne recently but that game was as suss as all shit, seeing how the Storm played last night. This is a serious test for the Broncos forwards, make no mistake.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Broncos will put 50 on this atrocious Titans team

 

[The_Shield]

Titans with the upset to kick Broncos out, would be awesome. And a real possibility

 

[Tenacious Titans]

Ever since the Sharks game we've looked a tired team, particularly through the middle, and I expect the Broncos to take full advantage of that like the Cowboys did on Saturday night.

The upside though is there are many players in this team yet to get a taste of what finals footy is all about, so they'll be better for the run at least.

 

[Shorty]

Definitely potential for an upset.
Winner of this game plays Melb or Cows.
Broncos have history with these two, so if one eye is on that game the Tits could ambush.

Probably not though.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Whichever side succeeds will take this out.

Big call. Preach.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

Titans by 6.

 

[moffla]

Really hoping titans win this so that we've got ourselves a slightly easier game should we lose to Cowboys.

Doubt it though. Broncos by 8

 

[Vic Mackey]

i think this will be a bit of a no contest. brisbane by 28

 

[Clifferd]

Titans cannon fodder

Brisbane by as many as they want

 

[kia ora storm]

Broncs by 2.

Would love a Tits win though.

 

[blaza88z]

Depends which Brisbane turns up, if we play like we did against the Roosters we will lose

If we play like we did against the Storm, we'll win in a canter

 

[Pete Cash]

I reckon you guys would still win even if you played like you did against the roosters. The titans looked a bit plodding against the cowboys who were hardly playing outstanding football.

That said you won't play like you did against the roosters.

 

[Valheru]

Nothing but a glorified training run for the Broncos here.

Bennett has them ready to go and the Titans literally stumbled in to the top 8. Broncos by 20+

 

[mxlegend99]

Broncos will win this easily. If Titans show up it will be a tight game with Broncos only winning by 12. If Titans continue on current form... i could see a 30+ annihilation coming.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

This Titans team would have to be one of the worst to sneak into the finals,they will get thrashed.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Attention LU staff, you need to change your poll options. NRL Finals Games don't have draws at the end of Golden Point, golden point continues until we have a winner.
