Just for the record.
Broncos best wins against us.
Round 22 of the 2000 season 48-6.
Round 26 of the 2004 season 46-20.
Our record in Brisbane 29% 5 wins from 17 games.

Just to be clear Round 26 of 2004 was Penrith beating Brisbane by 46-20. I went to that game.

Our biggest win v Broncos at Suncorp is 31-12 in 2016. Moylan and Merrin carved up an out of form Broncos.

This current Broncos side, even when they play ok still can't play for 80 minutes. So long as we come out with the right attitude and build our game with strong field position like we usually do, we should get the better of them in both halves and win comfortably if not easily.

They went with the Storm for 25 minutes then their defensive structure completely turned to shit and they crumbled. Again in the second half they competed for almost 20 minutes before the same thing happened. I'm expecting the lads to have a party in the lead up to half time.

NRL Prepares For Possibility Of Having To Use ‘Mercy Rule’ For First Time Tonight In Brisbane

The NRL is today briefing their referees on the very likely scenario where a televised football match will have to be called off at halftime, out of compassion for the losing side.

This comes ahead of the showdown at Suncorp Stadium between the red hot Penrith Panthers and the limping Brisbane Broncos.

Following the round 5 fixtures that saw the Penrith Panthers put 30 points on an in-form Canberra Raiders, and the Broncos go down by 30 to the Rabbitohs – the often-joked-about ‘Mercy Rule’ is now being very seriously considered as a humane way out of tonight’s match for the Brisbane side.

Both the referees association and the NRL Head Office have been in talks about calling the match if it turns into a bloodbath.

According to the NSWRL Junior Rugby League polices and procedures manual, the Mercy Rule exists to discourage a drop-off in grassroots numbers when young players get thrashed for the first time.

All matches in the Under 18s to A Grade competitions are ordered to stop immediately when there is a gap of 60 points. Officials at official tables will sound the siren at the appropriate time.

If the mercy rule is utilised tonight, it will be the first time that a match was called off early due to humiliation since the Super League War.

“We just can’t sit back and let things get out of hand,” said NRL boss Peter V’landys today.

“There will be kids watching and a free running Panthers rolling over the hapless Broncos is far too graphic to let the youngins watch on a Thursday night.”

“We’d have to change the rating to MA15+”

“And given the way these Broncos roll over, it’s a very real possibility, so we are fully prepared to launch Project Mercy if things get out of hand.”

“If you want 60 or 100 point drubbings go and watch that boring stuff they play down in Melbourne,” he finished.

My biggest paying bet is a 5 try multi. To'o, Yeo, Burton, Cleary and Luai. 5 bucks returns 700. Not much money to be made on Panthers though. Bookies basically cant see us scoring less than 6 tries and winning by 30 odd points.

I got in on this action too, but went Capewell instead of Yeo. Paying $56-1. Slapped $5 on it.

Let's hope we both get up!

Andrew Fifita nearly took a blokes head of in Nsw cup game recently and not a word raised about it. If Panthers are acting like 12 year olds the nrl 360 crew are acting like their grand parents. They are old, out of touch with a young man's game and becoming redundant. They should move on. How Panthers are carrying on happens in nearly team every sport and the nrl as long as i can remember. Tall popping syndrome from nrl360.

Jesus TAB has us at $1.01 now. I’ve never seen a head to head that low.

Just silly odds. Not a person on the planet would back the Panthers at those odds. We should be perhaps $1-70. It’s only a matter of time before we are slightly off and suffer a loss. I hope it’s not tonight but if Haas, TPJ and some of there other big names stand up we could be in for a tough night.
