I don't think I will be able to handle the depression from this forum expecting a loss lol. But I just wanna say, that the Storm aren't as scary as they used to be.

It'll be a nice test to see where we are this year.

I reckon we win it.

 

[vertigo]

Storm have been clunky but they just have too much class in the spine. Same story for the last 20yrs.

 

[Scorchie]

We either win this one or the next storm game. Prefer to win this one.

 

[Santa]

Besides Hass in for Willison, I wonder if Madge changes a winning team i.e. Cobbo.

 

[Manofoneway]

We ain't winning this without Haas and willison

couldnt drop droppo off the back of that performance. He was great

Yea, I think he looked good, but was it him or the quality of the opposition? I mean he wasn't bad. I'm just a fan of Karapani.

Meh. Grant and Munster have nothing on Billy.

 

[_wwong]

Grant is carrying the storm lately. Need to shut him down somehow.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

How appropriate we get these ***** when it will almost certainly be our big challenge for a top 4 spot. We may as well treat this like our Grand Final.

 

[Sproj]

If its worst case scenario and we've lost Haas, Willison, Piakura and Te Kura for this game...man, we are going to get flogged.

Without Jahrome Hughes, our spine at worst matches up evenly with them.
Our outside backs are better
Storm forward pack overall edges ours because of the back row.

Even game. Broncs can roll

 

[LittleDavey]

Going to get murdered tbf. Just hope we play better than the past couple of weeks and I'll be happy even with a loss.

 

[Nerd]

If we are to be a chance against the Storm Paix needs to start over Hunt and Karapani needs to come back instead of Cobbo. The Storm will have a field day catching Cobbo out of position defensively.

 

[Sproj]

Going on worst case scenario, this is what I would do:

1. Walsh
2. Karapani
3. Staggs
4. Shibasaki
5. Mariner
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Carrigan
9. Bunt
10. Jensen
11. Gosiewski
12. Riki
13. Hetherington

14. Walters
15. Talty
16. Junt
17. Cobbo

Oof we are up against it.

 

[JayPee]

Nothing to lose for the Broncos. If they win it is excellent and it should have been by more because of the refs and if they lose it is the refs fault so it doesn't count.

 

[FACTHUNT]

When was it confirmed that Haas is out for this fixture? He was given until last minute to play tonight so do we know for certain that he won't be there?
