didn't know the broncs were secretly soviets and were able to build a cloning vat for Ben Hannant.

Dodds in doubt. Copped a nasty knock to his melon.

 

[Big Pete]

:lol: icewind - I even made the concious effort to have Hannant at 8 because I tend to get him and Thaiday's numbers confused. My bad! Wouldn't mind two Benny's though.

Not overly confident this week. After coming off a lost in NZ the Roosters will be looking to exact some revenge and they certainly have the points in them to give our boys a headache. On the other hand, they can be guilty of trying too much without perfecting the basics and their starting pack does lack the go-forward. If Hannant, Thaiday and the rest of the forwards roll their sleeves up and give Lockyer and co. room to move we're in for a shot.

 

[Mr Fourex]

I haven't been overly confident in the Broncs for awhile. I always back 'em to win.......just don't put the house on it.

One week at a time.

The Rorters will be the big test even though they looked like sh*t against the Warriors.

Team listed looks good. I thought Hoffman was due back this week.....still out?

I didn't see last weeks game (bar highlights). I'm assuming "Jane" went alright. Gets another crack this week in the number 15 gernsey?

Oi did Kemp get injured on Sunday playing for Wynnum?? He wasn't named on the QRL website for the seagulls.:crazy:

 

[jarro]

Kenny should never again wear a broncos jersey ..... he's f**king useless !!!!!!

McGuire should take his spot. We need more mongrel in our pack

 

[Non Terminator]

You guys aren't confident?
Man...

I am not, our bubble is due to burst and the Roosters are due to play a decent game.

If our start to the year hasn't given you confidence i'm not sure what will.
We are in better shape this year than we have for many years.
An excellent pack, an exciting backline, world class halves combination, and an ultra deep bench with lots of competition for places. Im very confident!!
We may not win every game but without major injuries this is shaping as a top four year or better.
Teams grow into their attacking combinations, but a good defense is what premierships are made of.
We should be hot favourites to pluck the roosters.
I have noticed that most tipsters in RLW have gone for the chooks. Just the way the Broncos would like it....under the radar.

 

[beads6]

I think we can win and think we should but it is a danger game IMO.

Yup.. Best shape since all the way back in 2009 where we were on top of the table after 8 or 9 rounds.

Kemp has signed with Melbourne Rebels Rugby about 2 weeks ago

That deal didn't go through. He copped an elbow from McGuire but completed the game. McGuire was put on report and has to face the judiciary.

I like your enthusiasm........but you lost me here.

We've got a champion 5/8.

 

[Non Terminator]

I'm definitely not confident, especially with our poor Gosford record. Best of luck, hopefully will be as good as that MNF game last year.

 

[johns_reds]

Got to admit I haven't been overly confident all season, but if they can keep up the intensity in defense as they have earlier in the season then we are in with a good chance for this match.

 

[Locky24]

With Carney out, we have a good chance of winning, still not confident though

Carney hasn't been playing well at all. He's been struggling with a groin injury. You're worse off with him out.

 

[Pierced Soul]

i wont be overly confident till the attack improves. in saying that for most of the year the chooks have been awful. they've had some good moments but geez they've looked like a pub team at times. given their roster, coach and where theyw ere last year they arent in a good place. i've been waiting for them to get it together as well but i ahve a feeling their liek parra were and are compalcent and expect it all just to happen and carney to do everything
