They have a good honest side.

 

[The Colonel]

Be more honest if Tonie Carroll's eyes weren't so close together. PJ will hurt us big time I think.

Broncos by 5000

 

[Belly in Brisvegas]

42-0 halftime anyone?

 

[fish eel]

42-0 halftime anyone?

you think burt is kicking well enough to convert all 7 tries?

 

[Stagger eel]

Broncos by 5000

so if we mark Hayne up with Hodges will it then be Broncos by 4994??

 

[emjaycee]

you think burt is kicking well enough to convert all 7 tries?

Fish, you're kidding aren't you?
Burt is kicking at 65% so it will be 8 tries, 5 goals for the 42 points. :sarcasm:

 

[Gronk]

Wonder if Brian Smith can give us one of his Brisbane away game plans ?

 

[hineyrulz]

Good looking side, they have a massive advantage in the forwards. If our forwards can match them who knows????

We might be a chance if Fui turns up with his old game.

To be honest they could have named the Brisbane Girls Choir from 1-17 and my confidence levels would have been low. Broncos will be tough to beat, and I reckon Lockyer would have to be a chance for a late inclusion no?

In some ways i hope he does play. We've been shocking whenever the opposition has their key players out of the side (eg. Roosters minus 4 SOO players, Warriors minus Price, Cowboys minus Bowen, Titans minus Bailey etc etc). At least this way we go in as firm underdogs against a strong side at a tough away location. No notion of overconfidence or complacency going into this one anyway...

I'm taking my 8 yr old to this game for his birthday and unfortunately i'm not at all confident. My young bloke loves the eels and said to me the other day after they lost to the roosters 'dad why did you make me love the eels so much?'. Haha poor little bugger better get used to those feelings.

Best of luck fellas, so many good players in more than one way in Brisbane's side! Why am I more nervous this week though..f**k you always play well against us!

 

[The Engineers Room]

Wonder if Brian Smith can give us one of his Brisbane away game plans ?

Or any game plan at all, we don't seem to have any.

 

[Eelectrica]

Looking forward to attending this game like a convicted criminal about to face his execution.
Ah well, maybe the Broncs will ease up after they've scored 50?

you might have forgotten the 68-22 thrashing they copped from the eels last year but i guarantee they haven't and they will be out to equal or better it this week

 

[eel4life]

with the team we have anything can happen ...

no ben smith that is a problem for us but with inu in the team he is a magician not expecting to much from this game, i just want the 2 points ...

Hopefully Pig, Finch and MoiMoi have massive games for us ...

friday night, looks like my weekend is shot to pieces again ...

 

[TheParraboy]

I think we are specials for this game just quietly

Benny would have been good to have play on Hodges, but I would have Hayne and Hindy defending on him all game. Hodges plays on the right edge, well have Hayne and Hindy on the right edge (also running at him), Bomb Mr Reece Robenson all night.

Mid Feild bomb to Hunt and really target his ribs in defence, he likes the contact... give it to him. Our pack can compete with that pack, but Paulo and Jnr are going to have to step up.

Have Fui and Mateo run at Wallace all night, i know he is a cool customer when it comes to that stuff, but really work him over. Inu, and Hayne must see the ball in space... and i hope they both start in the centres. Round 1 Tautai was names in 3, but was sharfted to the wing with Reddy in the centres, i hope that senario plays out again.

Inu on the Right with Reddy, Hayne on the left with Grothe.. and Burt you have to be on your game at fullback, Wallace is a good kicker off the ball.

Finch kick to Robenson all night, there other outside backs are actually quality TBH
