[The Vaulting Violinist]

Roosters by 20 cloey pub schooners

 

[some11]

Swap both halfbacks to make it an even contest. Seibold should be giving any number of the rookie halves the Broncos have a run, Nikorima is an impact bench hooker.

Oh and Tedesco vs Boyd should be a cracker too, I wonder who sells him a dummy this week?

 

[GongPanther]

Roostars by quite a few. 28-8.

 

[Bronco18]

Unless another Rooster decides to fill Napa’s void, I can’t see th Broncs coming away with the win here.

 

[footy75]

Can't see the Broncos winning this although I expect them to get better and better.

 

[2 weeks]

Teams will be competing for The Martin Kennedy Cup

 

[Valheru]

Broncos did beat us twice last year and we may have a few out yet so it will be tough

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Interesting stat, this is the Broncos first appearance at the SCG.

They came into the comp in 1988, one year after games were no longer played at the SCG until 6 years later.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

Traditionally this is a very physical game.

If the Roosters don’t have JWH for this match they might struggle to handle the Broncos pack.

 

[adamkungl]

Broncos always rise against us, Broncos by 8.

 

[ouwet]

Cracking game, Roosters just unfortunately.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Broncos did beat us twice last year and we may have a few out yet so it will be tough

We borderline threw the second game as we tapered for the finals (and maybe to also troll Bennett into thinking his team wasn't shit lol), but your point stands - the Broncos do often go well against us.

Their second phase play tends to trouble us. The key will be to improve our insipid ball control and grind them into the dirt. They don't like tough footy as Tariq Sims has shown two games running by bashing their highly touted pups.

Roosters by 8.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Gillett will be back in the 2nd row for this game

 

[Xcalibre]

Roosters have played on the scg many times. The Broncos never. Kicking on that ground is much more difficult as the sidelines are miles from the fence. Unless you’re used to it, it can bring teams undone.

That being said, the Bronx don’t have the class of the Choox anyway.

 

[Valheru]

Roosters have played on the scg many times

We have played there twice in 10 years

 

[Vic Mackey]

If JWH is out I give the broncos a chance here. If he plays I think he runs roughshot over the over rated young hacks.

 

[Rhino_NQ]

roosters by 4 salary caps

 

[Xcalibre]

We have played there twice in 10 years

Like I said, many times.

 

[blaza88z]

Battle of the TPA's

I anticipate we will be better than we were against the Dragons but the Roosters have too much class in their backline
