Round 1 Eels V Broncos

Seems with all the no show Foz and the Kelly f**k me dead soap operas going on, many have forgotten we now have a top class forward pack and bench capable of destroying any NRL forward pack, shutting down opposition halves and controlling the ruck and the edges for 80 minutes, both in attack and in defence.

Remember the 2015 early season intensity and ferocity at Pirtek against Manly, Soufs and Dogs?

I can see this happening again tomorrow night for 80 minutes but only better than last season. Once our forwards complete their demolition job, Norman, Semi, Jenko and co will add on more points already piled on by our forwards.

I reckon all NRL teams are glad they are not facing the eels tomorrow night at Parra Stadium.

This is a nightmare game for the Bronks and may they all rot in hell when we're finished with them.

We won't miss Foz tomorrow night.

With 80 minutes of Kamikaze destruction planned, I wonder if BA will switch Pritchard for Kelly in the last minute? Hunt and Milford's physical and mental well-being are in great danger tomorrow night.

Hoping you guys win tomorrow night. Threw $10 on you at the Sportsbet promo which would pretty much cover the cost of a case. Foran out will hurt, but you still have a stronger roster without him than you did last year.

How do we win if we don't score a try again?

Pretty sure we won a Grand Final that had no tries scored. A stupid betting option, sure, but it is definitely a possibility that the only points scored in a game could come from penalty goals/field goals. Hell, the other Rugby code is built entirely around that being the case.

That was before the mighty eels reminded souths how to lose though....

Was it Sharks (I know they had a slow start) and Broncos (lost to Souths)

both the cows and the broncs got done..

in fact the broncs were smashed by 30 against the souths before we did a job on them in round 3 i think...

point is....it's early days, enjoy the night regardless.

I still say we will have a slow start to the season on the ladder ... but as long as we compete well and put in a good show it will lead to good results as the year goes on

My house will be full of bandwagoning Bronco fans, please please please just beat these arrogant merkins to shut them up for 5 mins. Who knows they lose two in a row most will go back to supporting the Reds or Lions.
