PRE-GAME [Round 4, 2026] - Broncos vs Dolphins

[Fitzy]

Grammar is important for context.

If I was to say

@Big Pete helped Jack off a horse.

Without the proper context/grammar it could mean 2 different things.

I see nothing wrong with that statement...

Massive game for our season tonight.
I have a fear we could be well beaten especially the way the fins trapped the Sharks props at marker and forced multiple efforts.
It took its toll in the last 20.

 

[Ondi]

I'm predicting no mercy to be shown. Ride them into the ground boys.

Whatever Santa predicted should be on point.

I actually saw Cobbo yesterday morning at the shopping centre in Redcliffe.

Should have "accidentally" bumped into him when going down the stairs...

Mozer to interchange. Semu to bench as per NRL late mail post.

Just like I thought. Can't be carrying a hooker and a utility on the bench. I really hope he has a run.

Do we think Semu comes in and Mozer out? Carrying 1 hooker and 1 utility seems a waste of a forward that could be handy.

Bench looks thin. I'd expect big minutes from our starters, BHunt in for Paix at some point, and possibly 20 minutes from Talty and Tawha.

Moving forward from Te'o, I am not too worried, especially if Madge used his defensive structure in that Storm game. Just need more of that game for the remainder of the year.

Secondly, prop and hooker rotation needs to be sorted. Talty is stepping up, and X when he starts on the bench, but this game, we need either Tawha or JHunt to get busy.

I’d feel confident if Payne was playing

 

[Super Freak]

You wouldn't have the cajones.

One flash of Cobbo's smile and you'd melt like butter.

It is a dreamy smile....

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Massive game for Reyno tonight.

 

[Fitzy]

Jack Gosiewski bit hard done by. Thought he had a really good game last week.

We need to get used to playing without him.

 

[Sproj]

Crazy to think at one time we had Haas, Fifita, Flegler, Carrigan, Hetherington, Collins, Arrow and Su’A coming through. Soon we will have just one.

+ Tino?

Phins played well last game, stuck in the arm wrestle with Sharks and then overran them late when fatigue really hit them.

They'll try the same tonight.

Walsh needs to get the ball whenever he asks for it. It can't be Arey dominates all first receiver calls like he usually does. Thats the biggest difference between him and Hunt.

We have the spine pieces to win the whole thing again this year, the question is; which pieces?

Tonight is a big night for a few of our guys.

 

[Wolfie]

We need to be on the ball defensively. Phins are very capable of putting on a lot of points, but they are also very vulnerable as well themselves defensively. Could be a high scoring game.

 

[Skathen]

We need to be on the ball defensively. Phins are very capable of putting on a lot of points, but they are also very vulnerable as well themselves defensively. Could be a high scoring game.

Depends - if we can hold the ball and get on a good run, score several tries and give them limited opportunities in the first half, I'm not sure they'll match us in the second half based on how we typically storm home when we're not run into the ground by 6 agains.

That or we can let them get to 14 nil up at half time, then we win by default.

 

[Super Freak]

Jack Gosiewski bit hard done by. Thought he had a really good game last week.

He was so lightning quick, you couldn’t see him.

"Super Freak's a good person, like a good bloke, but I don't think he's good at pushing people down the stairs."
