[This Year?]

Will the Broncos raise the bat against the Roosters at channel 9's home of rugby league?
Will Peter "Salty" Psaltis hit the vinger stroke as Reece struts in to bring up the milestone?
On the other network will Dan say GOODBYEEEEEEEEE or will Vossy be asking about the mental health of Nick and Wobbo?
Will the thread get a premature warmituption to spoil the party or will the chooks show a bit of fight?

 

[The Man Shake]

Payne Haas is going to steal all your chicken…

 

[soc123_au]

The Chad has been dropped, Roosters have firmed up more than I did the time I had a dream I had been reincarnated as Margot Robbie's bicycle seat.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Havent seen the Roosters new 7 play but good on Robbo for trying something different. Brisbane were good without being great last week and still scored 46. The difference in quality in the middle and halves is terrifying for Easts here, I dont expect a Round 1 repeat but also don't see a Round 2 fairytale.

Broncos by 20.

 

[JamesRustle]

There's been a Hugh or two but is this the first Hugo to play first grade?

After this game he'll have huge regret and need lots of hugs.

Broncos to give their biggest win against the Roosters a nudge here.

 

[Fangs]

Penalty Broncos and a 20+ win.

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

Our back row has more aids than the entire eastern suburbs (shocking, I know) so we will be shredded at some points

 

[Grapple]

Mate, f**king reyno combo gonna carve it up against the chooks. Too f**king easy. Walshy gonna carve it up like a butcher **ck . Mate, broncos keeping it in the back pocket with reyno who knows what can happen? Hard to say but f**k reyno's the man, Hunt close by. Roosters are done mate.

 

[dogslife]

Does the NRL throw darts blindfolded to come up with the draw? Yes, the same two teams must play each other twice in the first 6 rounds

 

[speedster]

Hugo's NSW Cup highlights reel is pretty good. Might be a different story with a top NRL side in front of him.
Hugo boss or Hugo not boss?
Verdict - Adam boss.

 

[Det.Wojciehowicz]

If Reyno can rack up the points again this week he could move past Hazem in to 2nd spot on the all-time list (more likely it will be the week after). The it's only a matter of time before he supplants the wrestling,salary cap cheat in 1st place.

 

[mozza91]

Dropping the Chad is blasphemous.

 

[Bazal]

Why is teenaged Shaun Lane playing halfback for the Roosters?

 

[Rudy]

Shit pass. Roosters could have scored. Gah

 

[Bazal]

Plodesco for Origin!

 

[Artiste]

Suck shit rorters
Couldn’t buy a try

 

[JamesRustle]

Suck shit rorters
Couldn’t buy a try

Yep, they really are a bunch of sister f**kers with the brains of goats.

 

[Maximus]

Kid probably needs to learn when you are a rookie and you throw a no look pass, you look like a dickhead when it fails.
