I recon the entire Broncos pack will run about 2k today, 100 in the sheds warming up, 30 when they run onto the field and 1870 when they run all over the dogs...

Looking very much forward to the clash between arguably the two most successful clubs since 1990.

Complacency may be our biggest problem facing a Canterbury team decimated by injuries in the forwards. On paper, no this is not where games are won, the Broncos should win this game.

A key matchup will be the battle of the five-eights (perhaps a curtain raiser for Origin 1 if Anasta plays well here) with Lockyer our playmaker and gamebreaker up against the reborn Braith Anasta who has been nothing short of sensational this year IMO in a team struggling.

As a Brisbane fan, I have never been one to be all that confident playing the Bulldogs. Since 98', we have won 8 from 15 games drawing another, though the games are always a tough encounter, this game will be no different.

Whilst the Doggies forwards are nothing on what they can be when there is a full compliment on hand (Mason, Williams, O'Meley etc.), IF the young guys rise to the challenge of taking on Webcke, Petero, Thorn etc the backline is definately good enough to get a win this afternoon.

Another key battle in the backline will be Tonga v Berrigan, incumbent Test centres and likley partners for Origin 1.

I tipped Brisbane, I always do, winning 32-18.

I have Shaun Berrigan as the first try scorer.

My Tip;

Brisbane 38 (9 tries, 1 goal) def. Canterbury 12.

You have to laugh, I will pay that :lol:

Darren Lockyer WILL turn around his goalkicking form this season, he has been quoted as saying he is committed to rectifying it, I will not doubt the games premiere player when he puts his mind to something.

According to an acticle in the Courier Mail (The one in the Ben Harris thread), if he has a few shockers the sarvo, he will relinquish the goal kicking duties.

I was going to argue but the bulldogs have 9 more wins than us since 1990. Brisbane is comfortably in first. Canberra are hanging on to 3rd.

Hmm...perhaps a little ambiguous in what he has said.

The quote I read from the SMH was in relation to his kicking was:

"It's not something I think about, I'm putting in the practise"

"If it starts costing us games, I might have to change, though I am not too worried about it".

And Bennet was speaking about and this from the Broncos website:

snippet from Broncos media release said:
Bennett also confirmed Darren Lockyer’s ambition to rectify his poor 2005 goal-kicking percentage of 53% and subsequently fill the Broncos sharpshooter void left by 2005 Huddersfield winger Michael Devere.

“He’s a perfectionist, he doesn’t like failure,” Bennett said of his captain five-eighth, who is last on the goal-kicking percentage column after landing only 25 goals from 47 attempts.

“He’s been given plenty of opportunities to take the responsibility away from himself but he doesn’t want to do that.”

Bennett commented on his possible decision as coach to hand the kicking-tee over to the club’s second-string kicker Corey Parker if he felt Lockyer’s form was a threat to the team’s success.

“If it’s got to be made I’ll make it, but he’ll make it before me,” he said.

“He doesn’t want the team to fail either so he’s not going to do things that would jeopardise the team, he’s a wonderful team player and always has been.”

Simply put, if he is not improving, he will look at handing it too the Corey Parker, but as I said in the Broncos forum, of what good does that do for us when Parker is coming off the bench with 40-50 mins each week?

Time will tell, I think we will see Lockyer with the job for the rest of the season.
