Ohh, this isgoing to be a hell of a touch match. Im pretty sure Parramatta is at full strength aswell, or close to it. There is also doubt over B.Berrigan and Minto I hear.

Will be interesting to see Eastwood in action, Junior Kiwi 5/8 or Lock I believe...

 

[broncoman]

Eastwood, very interesting, although it looks likely Lockyer could play which would probably send barnes to the bench and berro to halfback...

 

[brissyleaguedude]

dam id like to be wrong, but we have no chance, obviously (Based on last few weeks)

 

[parra-matters]

We have named Tahu and Morrison both were expected to be out til semis.
You guys haven't named Lockyer and a host of others, word is a few might play that aren't named.

 

[renouf]

There is also doubt over B.Berrigan

Haven't heard anything of the such, what is the injury concern?

 

[Sun_Down]

Umm I heard he had a groin problem, there was doubt over him.

 

[Kiwi]

If thats the team, the eels should win easily.

Both halves missing, plus the first choice replacement, our in form centre and half the forwards including the number 1 prop in the game. If the Broncos win this, it'll leave the Baby Broncos victory over the Tigers a few years back for dead in terms of pulling it out of their arse.

 

[Striker]

the eels at near full strength with the minor premiership up for grabs parramatta should win, but i dont feel it will be by much...

 

[Mr Saab]

i have a feeling friday night could be rather ugly...ugly indeed.
2nd half is what i am most concerned about

 

[broncoman]

Seymour and Lockyer now both look like starters, great news for us i feel we are some hope!

 

[Mr Saab]

i hope they are 100% fit or it could be a short finals series

Seymour, Webcke in, Lockyer out.

Eels by 10-12 in the first half, then another 18-24 in the second. Everyone notice how the commentators already are describing as the Eels wrapping up the minor prem with a win, no one gives us a chance.

 

[broncoman]

you can hardly blame them for giving us no chance, however im more confident now these guys are in...

 

[Ghoulies]

Here's the updated side....

Brisbane Broncos: Karmichael Hunt; Scott Minto, Brent Tate, Shaun Berrigan, Leon Bott; Berrick Barnes, Brett Seymour; Tonie Carroll, Brad Thorn, Darren Smith; Petero Civoniceva, Barry Berrigan, Shane Webcke (c).

Interchange: Sam Thaiday, Darren Mapp, Nick Kenny, Greg Eastwood, Neville Costigan (one to omitted)

 

[renouf]

Lockyer travelled to sydney.. so the word is he still might play pending a fitness test tomorrow before the game. I wouldn't believe anything the media says after hearing Webcke was cleared to play.. he was no chance of playing this weekend.

 

[Rastus_in_Melbourne]

That updated side just seems to look a lot stronger and better sorted position wise than it was 24 hours ago.

 

[salivor]

Without Lockyer and Hodges it's hard to see us having enough points to beat the Eels but it's still a pretty good side considering our mounting list of injuries. It's testiment to some of the rotating that Bennett has done throughout the season to create a bit of depth.

 

[renouf]

Yeah we will struggle without Lockyer/Hodges.. hopefully they will both play..

 

[broncoman]

Yeah we will struggle without Lockyer/Hodges.. hopefully they will both play..

neither will imo...
