Broncos to make an early statement of intent.
Huge amount of young talent in the team.

Storm will be right in the scrap but will find life after Slater difficult to adjust to.

Broncos by 12.

 

[Maroon4life]

I’ll go with storm, the broncos didn’t look too good in the trial against the titans and the storm should be clinical enough to get home.

storm buy 5

Strange, they usually buy a lot more

 

[Vic Mackey]

Been thinking the Broncos for weeks but after looking at the teams feel Storm might get it here. Broncos will have a totally new style of play under Seibold and for all the he hype, the starting pack looks a bit meh to me. Souths took a while to get used to Seibold and likley they will too. I’ll say Storm by 10 but both teams will be there at the pointy end of the season.

 

[Vozzy]

The merkin count for this game is going the be through the roof. Munster on his own will get at least a hat-trick of merkins on he tomorrow night will be tuning into this thread for it.

I don’t care who wins. This game signals the start of the season, thank f**k.

That is all.

Agree, the only other meaningful thing to come out of this game is supercoach stats.
