4 big bets don't outweigh hundreds of thousands of small and medium bets. Bulk of the cash still on Melbourne
 
If their wingers try coming up looking for the intercept, put a kick in behind instead of trying the pass.

Hunt teased it against the Storm in Round 27 but it went over the sideline, it was the right idea, poor execution.

They are going to try this on, on Walsh for sure. He's a bit vulnerable to it, so needs to work on the short pass too. Passing to the center instead of the winger can be just as potent when the winger pushes through trying to take the cutout pass.
 
I noticed on the ABC 7:30 report, there was a story on the NRL Grand Final. Such is the interest drawn from the media about this game. I could be wrong, but I just don't think a repeat of Panthers vs Storm Grand Final would have got a mention. The Ben Hunt redemption after the 2015 Grand Final received a significant mention.

Its exciting - we have:
Haas and Xman who can score through the middle or slightly wider
Piakura can score running lines wide
Staggs can punch through the smallest of weak tackles
Mariner can score from anywhere
Karapani is great at staying on his wing and finishing
Then we have Walsh and Mam who are probably the two most exciting players in broken play in the world

If we decide to take the handbrake off, well, goodnight Melbourne. Look at how shot Penrith looked last week and they have the best defense in the league, they were out on their feet trying to stop us and Melbourne aren't as good.

Floodgates could open, we just don't want to give Melbourne a head
start like we have to a lot of teams in the back end of the season.

The key will be grinding it out for the first half as well though... ball in play is what we want.

Fatigue melbourne and then when they're starting to concede through the ruck Reece can flick the switch.

Don't need to think about pulling out all the stops early in the game and lead to errors... just keep it close, high completion rate and gradually fatigue them out of it.

Yep, basically what we did to Penrith but without so many early errors and without conceding tries.
 
Many pundits are partial to dropping the old 'the penref game could have been Broncos' grand final'.

I've got news for them all. The penref game was just a trial run that we never got quite right. Tomorrow is when you will see the perfect execution of our game plan.

Expect Mam to start.

We've got this!

Man a lot has been made of Grant making a big difference to the team we beat in R27. We still put 24 on them (30 with the late intercept). Sure he is going to improve their attack, but does he make them a 12 point better defensive team
