PRE-GAME PRE-GAME [Round 3, 2023] Broncos vs Dragons

[Mustafur]

Big danger game, Dragons generally always start the season off well and Hunt has never lost to the Broncos since he moved to the Dragons back in 2018 and he loves playing against us.

Why this guy is not playing 9 for us I don't understand, Salary cap what is that?

 

[BooKhaki]

Big game. If we want to actually be a top side, we need to beat the Dragons and do it convincingly.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

I would take it a step further. One game at a time etc etc..but we need to leave no doubt whatsoever in the next 3 games. St Merge, the QCup mob and Tiggers.

Unfortunately, we’re not the Rotters to whom salary cap doesn’t apply but we’re the Broncos to whom salary cap in addition to every rule in existence & non existent will apply.

Probably because someone is prepared to pay him $1 million a year to play halfback

Be real interested to see how the Dragons play this weekend.

One decision, if indeed they go through with it, to swap Suli and Lomax, is extremely puzzling?

I got a feeling though, if they stick to that arrangement, Staggs might have a worldy against them...

that and the fact that we have the young Prince in waiting, Mozer.
Unless Benny boy crawls back for 1 year at a time for $500K at hooker, hard pass. Teach the heir to the throne about life in the NRL, win a trophy with us for old times sake, this time our halves won’t drop it

Broncos 56
dragons 8

9 September 2018 - We owe them big.

We'll lose against the Tigers, we always do.

I wish I could say you’re wrong @Sproj, but sadly we always find a way to play like bollocks against them. It would be a welcome change of pace to pump these lesser teams.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

We have the abilty to put 90% of the comp to the sword with a fully fit team. And the ability to beat the other 10%. Need to actually deliver on all that potential this year.

 

[BroncosFever]

I know they all say it but really the team just needs to focus on themselves and not who they are playing, although it potentially worked in our favor when nobody gave us a chance against Penrith. I can guarantee you we'll be the raging favorites for this game.

 

[heartly87]

Danger game. We generally play shit against shit teams.

This exactly. This is a huge barometer of exactly where we are at. In days gone the games we should have won were often the ones we let slip. If we are to go far in this comp we need to ice games like this.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Seeing as though we will be without Oates for the foreseeable future who do you guys think should come in?
Arthars - on fire to start the season
Pereira - ever reliable, nothing flash & hard yards
Mariner - give him more of a taste of NRL seeing as he will be a contender for Herbie’s spot next year. (Same side too).
Any other suggestions?

Arthars 100%

He starts at any other club and is easily the first-drop for our backline and will challenge if any of them aren’t up to scratch

 

[Organix]

To everyone saying it is a danger game, I would just like to point out that Reece Walsh is an absolute pest and is the kind of player that WANTS to flog shit teams. He ripped into Capewell last game early because he ran a shit lazy line, and he will rip any player next week if they're not killing the Drags.

Arthars 100%

I agree on Arthars, he deserves it, especially on form. I hope Kevvie doesn’t f*ck with the recipe too much this year.
Barring the necessity of injuries, we make room for Kobe to come back in and that’s about it. Make all the “future stars” pick themselves by being outstanding in QCup.
