[I Bleed Maroon]

The Broncs had a good win, but we've all seen this song and dance before. We'll also be down Lodge and Gamble to suspension. It will be closer than most think, but just can't delude myself into thinking we will win.

 

[THE CHAMP]

Instruct the forwards to run up chin first.
The storm players won’t be able to help resist the urge to accept the invitation
They will be down to 8 players after the first set

Yep, Lodge is a huge omission. Still, Broncos again apply the same mindset as the win from last week and you're more than half way there.
Brisbane 18-14.

Broncos haven't beaten Storm at Suncorp in 12 years and I can't see that streak ending this week

I'm not brave enough to tip us as our record against Melbourne is shocking but if we were ever going to beat them..

They are missing a few key players, we got them at Suncorp, a week after a big win against a top 8 side. If our pack does what they've done a couple of times this season, we are in with a shot at least.

Without the big boot of gamble and lodge I just can’t be confident. A bit too damaged, maybe. However, if Munster, Hughes, Grant and Papenhuyzen are all ruled out a boy can dream

I can see this one being rather close (although I did think that last week against Canberra with all our outs). What surprised me was how well Storm adapted without their star players last week. This one could go either way. Broncos 20-10 or Storm 36-6. It's interesting how Storm (touch wood) has not had a sin bin for head high tackles over the past few weeks since the crackdown. Sign of good adaptation.

Seem to remember that kid had all the talent when he came to us, like a young Ben Barba... but then he went and became an old Ben Barba.
