Broncos v Storm

[bula_stormer]

Repeat of last season. On form Melbourne, Broncos to run out of steam.
Storm by 14. Scotty Hill to carve em up again.

I actually think the Broncos can win this game then crash out week 2 of the semis.
Broncos by 10

Melbourne are a big show here... but I won't discount Brisbane either... on the fence I stay!! The hardest game to pick by a long way, I reckon. They should both be safe though - Cronulla couldn't beat an egg, and despite BK the Eels should dispose of Manly

brisb 1-12

differences in team from last yr :

no tupou
no stu kelly
proper halves combo
1st string hooker

Charlie - I think you can pencil in a 2nd wrong though... And even with Bennett as coach, Joey should be captain when available!

 

[Mr Saab]

a 2nd wrong? what?

a 2nd wrong? what?

your predictions - I'm just about ready to say the Broncos can't win...

 

[Scott]

Storm to win this one. They have great defence and i'm not sure the broncos have enough to get past them. I'm thinking a low scoring game too....

 

[renouf]

Yeah much different side this year.. certainly the form is what it was last year but we've been without players in key positions for the past 6 weeks (hooker and five-eight). I'm expecting a physical contest from Brisbane.. Melbourne will try there best to throw the ball around and frustrate Brisbane causing them to become more aggressive.

Brisbane won't struggle to score points either, like they have in previous seasons.. Barry Berrigan will ensure that Lockyer gets the room he needs to attack.

....if the storm fix their defence for this game im pretty confident they can beat the broncos..we can score heaps of points but we can also let in heaps of points esp out wide.

 

[Dakink]

I actually think Brisbane will get over the Storm. My only concern with so many players coming back from injury is the backend of each half.

 

[The Colonel]

A refreshed Brisbane will run over the top of the Storm..... Brisbane by 14+

i wouldnt go that far, but if it happens i will take it!
And then i will death ride the dragons and eels to lose so the broncos get a
week off (i live in absolute hope for that to happen)

Storm by 8.

Yeah Steve Bloody Clark. Hope no one asks him any questions if they get penalised, especially Kidwell!!

 

[Raiders Plight]

Statistically the storm are a better attacking and defencive side but don't have the mental toughness. The broncos forwards have to bash them out of the game early. I predict an even low scoring first half with the broncos going on to win it in the 2nd.

Broncos. You have to favour the home team in a tight one.
