[Yosh]

Can't see us losing this one.

 

[Burns]

Can't see us losing this one.

Depends on how we bounce back from Melbourne game.

Could as easily see us reverting to how we played in those first five weeks.

 

[Pedge1971]

If there is one game I could choose for us to annihilate the opposition, it is this one.

Though it was a nice present walloping the roosters.

 

[Knight Vision]

Broncos are an unhappy club at the moment. Nothing would give me more pleasure than watching the Knights twist the knife into this mob. Hopefully we put a cricket score on em and improve our points diff.

In seasons gone, I would have expected us to take a big hit in confidence and go into a slump for a couple of weeks. However, we aren't that team anymore. I think the team would have learnt from that game. Taken in how much we can still improve. I think we will bring our A game and put 50 on the Broncos this weekend.

Daaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssss...

Daaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiiiiuuuuuuuuuuuussssssssssssssss...

How many light jogs will he put in when Ponga has broken the Donkey's line? I reckon 4.

amazing he hasnt been sacked. He's in full Darius mode at the moment....not a happy chappy at all.

He’s been trying too hard. Just like he did for us.

 

[Yosh]

Apparently Darius training at six and Milford at one. We just gonna line up player to run at him all game right? Awesome.

 

[PhilGould]

First home game in a month, should be a big crowd
Bounce back game after losing to Melbourne
Klemmer's chance to get his Origin jersey back
Saifiti's chance to show why he shouldn't be the one to make way for Klemmer
Pearce chance to show why he should be picked
Ponga's chance to bounce back after a disappointing performance in Origin
Darius Boyd is on the other team

I'm extremely confident we'll put a score on them, and it makes me uncomfortable.

 

[Zoidberg]

Yes, it always worries me being so confident going into a game. I saw somewhere Ponga isn’t playing though? Not that it hurts our chances that much

 

[PhilGould]

He was in some doubt with a cork but they were still confident he'd play last I heard.

 

[PhilGould]

Ponga and Glasby both playing

Ponga and Glasby both playing

Fantastic news! We'll need both of them. Hopefully Klem gets the all clear now!

 

[macavity]

Broncos still have a bloody good pack and Milf can create from nothing, we can’t take them lightly.

Plus there has been a lot said about their last few performances so they will be up to prove people wrong.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Klemmer is playing apparently

[Old dog]

Will wait and see on game day, if slight doubt, twinge, then expect he will miss this week taking no chances. Be great if he plays along with Ponga, Glasby, DanS and Lee, would be virtually strongest side.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Guerra and Saulo have been dropped out of the squad
