[Valheru]

Brisbane fairly comfortably

 

[Saxon]

Broncos to gallop home.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Murmurs going about Haas is ready to return a week early, but wait for the club to announce it.

 

[JamesRustle]

I think the Raiders find a way to win a close and high scoring game.

 

[Wheeled Warrior]

Raiders 13+ Smokies for 2024.

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

watching the kevvie interview, seeing how much he loved the game from a young age is wholesome

donkeys 13+

 

[Someone2]

Broncos by 14

 

[BadnMean]

Big ask for Mariota to handle the decision making and agility required to handle that Bronco's edge + Walsh chiming in.

I'm not sure we defend well enough on the edges and I'm not sure our ad hoc attack with a FB still a bit undercooked as enough points to win a shootout. I'm tipping a close one, 4 points or less margin. Heart says Raiders head says Broncs.

 

[GongPanther]

Really looking forward to this game.

No doubt Sticky Fingers will have the players putting on the wind up tactics to put the Broncos off their game.

That aside, Broncos will have too much firepower and speed out wide for the Raiders in a very decisive 34-10 win.

 

[6 more kfc buckets]

After last weeks hiccup for the Raiders the refs will produce an uncommon display of bias towards the Broncos.
Kevvie to call Sticky a cheat.

 

[Grapple]

I think the Raiders find a way to win a close and high scoring game.

Canberra couldn't find the try line at home against Gold Coast despite having the ball for most of the game. Jamal is a good kick but way too predicatble.

For Canberra it depends if the game opens up, rather than set moves, and if they're smart they'll use crash plays againt Ezra Mam who is not a great defender.

Broncos will pick them apart at home and win easily.

 

[Grapple]

Take me to Cobbo town!!!!!!!!

 

[Sphagnum]

Has all the hallmarks of being a cracker but will most likely be a smooth brained plod fest

 

[johns_reds]

Let’s go Broncos!

 

[Diesel]

Has all the hallmarks of being a cracker but will most likely be a smooth brained plod fest

The games have been good this week

 

[This Year?]

Oates was like yeah nah f**k that

 

[Diesel]

Kevvie won’t be happy with Oates

 

[Bazal]

Lol no one wanted to touch the ball

I've had a few GFs like that

 

[MRN]

Did someone tell Mam the ball has herpes?
