Rd8: 8pm EELS v Broncos GAME DAY THREAD @ TIO Stadium - Darwin 21/4/23

[Gary Gutful]

We’re going to rip their huge horse dicks off and shove them down their elongated horse throats!

F**k yeah!

I think the Broncos strength is also where they are most are susceptible. Walsh, Cobbo, Mann and Staggs are in fine form, but they can also be littered with errors. I think its really important we turn the early part of the game into field position dominance through Moses kicking. Chasing points in the conditions wont be great, and the off the cuff football the broncos young guys like to play is risky. Important we dominate early and score first. Oh, and take out Reynolds in the first 15mins. Have Paulo and Matto running at him early

Interesting game this one. The conditions makes it a very open contest for mine.

We're certainly capable of getting the two points, no matter how good the Broncos have been.

But, I can't tip us with any confidence in any game at the moment, I would need to see a lot more from us.

I think all we got last week besides the two points is a further masking of our deficiencies. We'll see how we go I guess.

100%

Riccio said on SEN Reynolds hasn't trained all week but will play.

Sounded like he is carrying a niggling injury.

Why would we target another teams weakness??? “We JuSt NeEd To PlAy OuR fOoTy”

A coupla teams have shown the Donkeys can be rattled and lose composure if you get up in their face. Hard to keep that up all game in the usual Darwin conditions. Though they are predicting storms and humidity isn't gonna be killer.

Weather here is the coolest and least humid I have experienced at 9am on game day.

I don't think Walsh will handle the conditions and may force a lot of errors. Same as Cobbo.
Brisbane love to move the ball. If we rush up and get into their faces we win and win well

Wow! Yeah the footys are very slippery when players are sweaty. Hope you are right mate. I cant wait.

Any chance of a pitch report, with a key in the pitch?

Play to your strengths. Lucky for us, Reynolds will be defending opposite Shaun Lane.

I do rate the Broncos but they have been kissed on the dick with probably the softest draw in the comp thur far.

They did beat Penrith away in round 1 which is impressive, but then they had:

- Cowboys at home
- Dragons at home
- Dolphins “away” at Suncorp
- Tigers home
- Raiders home
- Titans away

This game should give a good indication. Of where both teams are at. Should be about 28 degrees at kickoff with a chance of showers.

I have no clue how this game will play out.
