[This Year?]

In their shiny new stadium, anything other than a Cowboys victory will be disappointing.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

If Boyd and McC are named in the side, the Cows will win by 13+ and Seibold will have a full on supporters revolt on his hands.

 

[Valheru]

Cowboys to open their new home in style by 16 points.

 

[GongPanther]

Cows to show-off their new Horse-Shoe (I hope the open end is facing North so the luck doesn't fall out) shaped ground with a resounding 24-16 win.

 

[2 weeks]

Lodge, ofa and glenn out takes a bit of sting out the donkeys pack.

Much riding on drinkwater playing. If he isnt fit then instead of having somone look threatening with every touch we will have at least one kick out of the full on the last, have the ball punted dead like its been shot out if a canon from the 10m line instead of complete sets enough to bring back horrible memories of brett firman.

How do Broncos fans feel about the captaincy decision? Surely Carrigan struggles to make their 17 at full strength?

Very comfortable with it. He is the future leader of the club, given the players out, no issue with him being the C and getting some experience under his belt. He is a born leader despite his age and inexperience.

Is he in your top 17 with all players fit? It is a little odd to have your captain on the bench.

More question marks about Croft than Carrigan. I expect Carrigan to have a breakout year.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Bit of a weird cowboys bench, aren’t Dunn and Wright edge forwards? Either way think they’ll be too strong and get home by 2-3 tries

North facing, to allow the prevailing wind to cool the joint down. It has been brutally hot up there, and with a shit tonne of rain predicted for the week leading up to the game, should be interesting to see if the new grass holds up. I would be concerned if I was the nrl

He’s had raps on his leadership for a while, but Jesus it shows a lack of depth that he’s our best option in round 1.

Thanks simmo. Great looking ground.

BREAKING: Broncos fullback Jack Bird has left training with a suspected knee injury.


He was heard yelling as he left the field. More to follow.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

He's done his knee again. 3 million dollars+ of cap tied up in injuries and washed up spuds. Pile your wads on the Cows, we're cooked.

 

[Mr_Raditch]

Darius to fullback!!!!!!!

 

[gerg]

The Broncos thrive on this sort of adversity.
