[2 weeks]

Brock Lamb to be out due to post traumatic stress disorder.

 

[Das Gupta]

Broncos.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Poor knights. Broncos by 18.

 

[Hawkins]

Brisbane to win and I expect Brock Lamb to play elsewhere for a bit

 

[GongPanther]

Brock Lamb to kick at least one conversion.If he does,he'll get the biggest crowd cheer of the weekend.

Broncos by 40+

 

[FireFalcons1]

Oh Newcastle ... This is going to be ugly.

Broncos by 30+

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Lamb plays, us by 40. If he doesn't, us by 24+

 

[mozza91]

If Lamb plays, us by 40. If he doesn't, us by 24+

Lamb has been easily our best half this year. One average game doesn't make him a plodder.

....I'm taking the piss, Mozza lol

Posted in the match thread vs Bulldogs but figured I'd re-post it here. I see this game going one of two ways:

The Broncos to either:

a) Eclipse St George's 1935 record for biggest win recorded in 1st grade or,

b) Bumble their way to trail 29-0 at halftime...only to come back in the second half, tie the game with a 50 metre field goal on the buzzer that hits the left upright, drops, bounces on the crossbar and rolls forward into the in-goal. Thus sending us to golden point extra time where the scores are tied into the final ten seconds, with shared points looming...Knights have the ball...

...last tackle....

...it goes to Lamb, 10 metres from the Knights try line...

...he goes for the field goal and strikes it- it's sailing through the air on target.....

...it hits the cross-bar and rebounds- caught by a Broncos player...

...he sprints away and coming up to a wall of Knights defenders, kicks it- it's a terrible kick that looks to be headed out on the full....

...suddenly a HUGE gust of wind blows the ball back, it lands just inside the field of play and bounces almost at right angles into the hands of another Broncos player who sprints away to score under the posts. TRY!

...it is immediately titled "Greatest Rugby League Game In History (TM)"

...the commentators emphatically repeat, over and over, how "You will NEVER see ANYTHING like that again!"

....The 2018 Guiness Book Of World Records lists the largest mass-suicide in recorded history as the one that took place inside McDonald Jones Stadium after the Round 19, 2017 Knights v Broncos game...

Snip

Turn it up, you all survived this.....somehow:

 

[This Year?]

Knights to start the yearly post origin slide for the Broncos with a shocking golden point win.


























In my dreams....

 

[Mark Turner]

Broncos need this week. Hopefully the Broncos pick up Cronk for next season

 

[Rhino_NQ]

broncs by 16. Brisbane have a few more ideas in attack then the dogs (and under 13's side has more ideas in attack then the dogs) and will be waiting a long time for the donkeys to get back to back penalties against them to score off the back of.

 

[Noname36]

Broncos to hit back by smashing the Knights and their fans to start gushing again about how they're premiership certainties.

 

[OldPanther]

Broncos need this week. Hopefully the Broncos pick up Cronk for next season

Cron is leaving Melbourne to live in Sydney lol.

 

[Frank_Grimes]

Brisbane Fridays to win again on a Saturday night.
