War?
Never heard of the f**ker!

 

[THE CHAMP]

Really enjoying this season Broncos.
It would be great to see it continue this weekend

Into August and haven't looked like stumbling yet. There's a nice mix of youthful exuberance and experience. Maybe seeing them go through hard times a bit has softened my hatred of them. There's probably only 2 or 3 players who I don't like though.
This should be a great game for neutrals.

 

[Nealo 12]

Hard road trip for the Broncs big travel , Cowboys poor last game but motivated by a finals berth , Adversity is the name of the game, Cowboys by 8

Personally my favourite thing about this season has been watching the neutrals with their infinite IQ predicting we will just slide out of the 8 like last year, except we haven't and won't.

At this point our worst result is equal 4th.

They also overlook the fact we have been at full strength once this season.

Out of interest how many dragons players don't you like?

 

[GongPanther]

Holmes lost his appeal at the judiciary...out for 4 matches, same for De-Bellen. Bronkos will take control of this match after 60 minutes, and winning by 14.

All of them.

The acid test is always Melbourne, next couple of games will decide if they're ready for that.

 

[THE CHAMP]

All of them.

I've crunched the numbers.
It appears you like more Broncos players than dragons players.
Perhaps you are interested in becoming a supporter?
I would be happy to nominate you and I'm certain @SLRBRONCOS would support my position.
There will be a short but thorough 3 day initiation process conducted by SLR that will be supervised and occasionally participated in by me.

Interested?

 

[THE CHAMP]

Our team looks great and still wilison,riki and oates to be added if required.

Absolutely stoked at what Walters and his staff have been able to assemble in only a few seasons.

Its great to look at our 17 and see so much quality.

@This Year? welcome my sweets

 

[Stinkfinger]

Cows very tough at home, and the refs love 'em.

 

[Nealo 12]

Not being on a Friday night may be a thing for the donks , but at least they are still in state

 

[isaiah]

Cowboys enjoyed playing the broncos so much last year, they must have wanted them every week. Cowboys are better now than early this season
