Broncos R19 in Brisbane.

[Gareth67]

Yeah, I'm a bit of a Rava tragic!

I think the success of Zac at wing has come at the cost of Rava's form.
That forced Rava to the other side without ZAC, his partner in crime..

Like Zac, he prefers one side of the field and Zac's high jumping covers Rava's weakness.

Looks like he's still not on preferred side with Christian Tuipulotu listed as Zac's replacement.

Hopefully being dropped is still burning Rava and he responds aggressively.

Long live the beast!

Another ‘ Beastie ‘ fan ! Your are correct Dracula that Zac’s switch to the wing has been detrimental to Rav’s game , however as you have said I am sure that he will come back with plenty of desire .

There are a lot of times that I have enjoyed watching Rav employ "the Fijian Sidestep" to literally run straight into and over an opposition player!

So are 'we' the experts then?

we watch and re-watch the game very closely. The media just brush over us and only talk about Ben Hunt. Because we are tragics we pay attention to all of it.

 

[Wolfgang90]

After the roosters drubbing & countless defensive fails, I don't have any expectations. I'm going to take it one week at a time. Look at areas of improvement & try to enjoy the game. Half of this team won't be around long term.

Would take dragons fans opinions of this team over pretty much any media figure.

 

[Slippery Morris]

Interested to see how Rava goes after a stint in KOE. If this does not fire him up for a big game, nothing will.

I am worried about the speed of the Bronco's backs but the Saints forwards should be able to get ontop of the Bronco's pack.

Always said, if you are looking for a player from another club don’t listen to the media on how he really is, ask the teams fans. I remember some on here laughing at Penrith fans bagging Hook when he first arrived here.

 

[SEAT 1A]

Hope it's a bash a thon.

Bench may have to play extra minutes. Su'a niggles, RFM back spasms', FMD I'd be saying still got them this week coach and second coming of Hame, fingers crossed.

Similar attitude to the Panthers.

 

[TheRev]

Listening to Flannos match preview, definitely sounds like we will see Bird.. possibly tomorrow if not tomorrow then soon.. also mentioned he has had Marshke on ice for this game, so I think hes definitely playing...

 

[kit66]

Looks like Piakura might be out as well. I don't know if that's good or bad, he can miss a tackle or three that kid and it could mean they'll debut that young giant Va'a Semu on the bench.

What little ive seen of him he can be a dangerous runner, I reckon the more kids in the 13 and on the bench.. the more chance we can run over their inexperienced pack in the 2nd half... aslong as we turn up with intent.

Well of course we will see Bird whilst coach Flano is in charge

When is the latest before a game u can name ur run on team these days?

I smell a Bird that could be circling come an hour before game time.

Frankly I would prefer Max Fegai

 

[FlickFlano]

Frankly I would prefer Max Fegai

Both are playing

 

[Auntie.Gerald]

Both are playing

Birdy reserve though thank god

 

[FlickFlano]

bench utility - better use for him ... Ben Murdoch Masila has been playing well in his role so a bit unlucky.
Wouldnt surprise down the track to see Eisenhuth drop out of the 17, esp if Birdy doesnt suck too bad at that bench role.

 

[Old Timer]

So what is acceptable tonight?
Low scoring game small win / close loss?
High scoring game small win / close loss?
Forward dominant game and little attack from the backs?
Forwards finish 50/50 against them?
Sloan play a steady game but not score?

 

[TheRev]

Think we will miss BMM's impact, but atleast we r better placed for injury cover.

 

[I'm Hornby]

Do people still get feigned outrage when JDB is named as Captain?
