Who f*ckin' knows? Questions, questions.

Which Broncos side are going to turn up?
Will Mam play?
Who thought that Madge wouldn't be any better fit than Kevvie?
When will he lose the dressing shed?

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

prob win this game and lose 5 straight

 

[This Year?]

This game will be like a Sunday drive for Ezra:

Is he bopping along to hip-pop music?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Saints have been doing everything bar winning games, Brisbane just plain stink. Ben Hunt playing would have been the best part of this game for neutrals. If he carved up then we could laugh at Saints, if he sucked (which he probably would of) then we could laugh at Brisbane.

On paper Brisbane should do this easily, but if games were won on paper theyd likely be 9-1. Brisbane by 8 with zero confidence.

 

[This Year?]

Come and get it Donkeys.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

This will be a trampling.

 

[Someone2]

Broncos by 20

 

[Rudy]

Never write off the Broncos. They're like the Yankees in baseball - even if they're not having the best year, they almost ALWAYS make the playoffs.

Broncos by 14 unfortunately.

 

[Panther Mike]

Broncos by 14 unfortunately.

I mean before 2020 yeah but they've only made the finals once in the past five years so they are not living up to that status lately.

 

[JamesRustle]

Dragons to end Broncos season here. I'll explain how that was achieved after the game.

Playing for the Maranta McCullough Beale Sims Hunt Kemp Cup

 

[Ruby Roundhouse]

got a feeling ITS MAAM will destroy us

 

[Trifili13]

Playing for the Maranta McCullough Beale Sims Hunt Kemp Cup

The Bennett Darius Sailor Sailor Costigan Henjak Johns cup

The list is never ending

 

[Fangs]

I'd like to see a golden point game. Gutho field goal.

 

[mozza91]

Munster is there to make Kevvie sound smarter.

 

[speedster]

They've been alternating who wins the last 5 games and it's Brisbane's turn this time. That's my brilliantly insightful prediction for this one.

That and my pet octopus also picked the Broncos in the gripping tank test.

 

[This Year?]

Go Dargons!
