It's time for us to move on to another big week as we turn our attention to the Broncos on Thursday night. Brisbane have become a pretty big rival of ours in recent years due to the Seibold vs Bennett factor as well as various players jumping ship and joining us from Brisbane. While the coach factor is no longer there, I'm sure some of the stuff said between the two clubs over the years has not been forgotten and I'm sure the wounds are still there. It may not have the added spice but it is still a big rivalry and I expect it to be quite firey still.
No doubt the Broncos are struggling, there's no doubt about that. However, similar to last week's game against another struggling side in the Bulldogs, he have to head into this week with full focus and we have to make sure we don't get ahead of ourselves. We simply cannot afford to take them lightly that's for sure or it will come back to bite us. I said it last week and I'll say it again, in the past we have performed poorly in games we're expected to win so we must make sure that is not the case here. Brisbane will be desperate. They'll want a win so badly. Still plenty of dangerous players out there for them too, particularly in the forward pack with the likes of Haas and Pangai Jnr and they have to potential to lay a good platform for the likes of Milford and Issako to work some magic if we're not careful.
It's going to be an interesting week for us considering who we're missing. Cody and Keaon are actually quite big losses and it'll be interesting to see if our attack suffers without Cody in particular. Obviously Benji will slot straight into 5/8 and we all know how legendary he is so I have no doubt he can do a job but Cody is 'our man' and we rely on him a lot so how will we go without him? I'm actually kind of excited to see how we cope. Once agin, we need to make sure we're ruthless with our ball handling, last week just got a pass mark in terms of errors and completion rate so there's still room for improvement there. And hopefully we can continue to build on two great defensive performances in a row.
So yea, really looking forward to Thursday night!!
