That was the most impressed I've been with the Broncos since the premiership win in '06.
If reported last year that Lockyer and Hunt were to be out for a game I'd be pessimistic of the teams chances, especially in attack. Last night for a large stretch of the game I'd forgotten that 4 regular starters were even absent. The team is so much more balanced this year. I love the new game plan, the fitter more mobile forwards with their short passing game, the speed off the line in defence, and the teams fitness in general. This reinvention of the Broncos is a far superior to the side of '06/'07
2 - Sims (I was doubtful when he was signed, be his fitness and explosive impact is impressive)
2 - Hannatt (Great effort to play the whole first half, putting in some big hits in the process)
1 - Wallace (Lead the team around, good kicking game, needs to be more mindful of the 5th)
1 - Marsh (Excellent in attack and defence, provides the niggle all teams require)
Honourable mentions to Stagg and Ennis for a great first game back, far more composed and sharp than I expected.
Our bench and forward depth this season is far better then most give credit for, and the Hooker rotation one of the best in the competition. With Lockyer, Hunt, parker and Clinton to re-enter the side the year is looking very up.
