PRE-GAME [Round 20, 2026] - Broncos vs Panthers

[The Muffin Man]

That Origin series was a rort.

Hard to swallow given the officiating decided the series and I wont have anyone tell me otherwise.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Now that the origin shit show is over can the broncos send haas and Reynolds out on a high?

Doubt it

Sadly mate, the 'high' we are aiming for this year is not collecting our second wooden spoon.

Prepare to get absolutely reamed by calls in this game too :)

How good is rugbehleg.

 

[Renegade]

spread the cheeks for a gallant 40-12 defeat.
Madge will defiantly insist we can still make finals and invent a new form of mathematics to underline his point.

40 to 12 seems about right for a half time score, but do you really think we will score twice against them in 40 mins? I love your optimism

In 40 probably not? in 80 I think we can shithouse two tries. 24-4 HT. Ennis will tell us several times how our season is on the line and we gotta find something in the sheds at halftime. Hopefully a glass bbq will assist in energy levels.

Just another win would be amazing.

1 will get called back and denied because cleary's superb elbow to our try scorers face meant the victims head ricocheting brushed Dylan Edwards head and therefore was a deliberate headbutt by the broncos and should be a send off.

Ennis will tell us several times how our season is on the loin and we gotta foind something in the sheds at halftoime.

Fixed it for you.

That scoreline will have Ennis throwing out the "this broncos side has been so disappointing... what has happened to them Vonnie... I know there's been injuries, but everyone has injuries... what I'm seeing on the field is just so disappointing and must be something else"

3mins later

"this penrith side is the greatest side I've seen... maybe ever... they are so far above everyone else in this competition... I really dont know who can stop them"

You missed out the part where he would be critical of Madge abandoning them for Origin camp at a crucial time.

5. Anderson
6. Mam
7. Duffy
8. Carrigan
9. Mozer
10. Haas

13. Willison

14. Walters
15. Semu
16. Talty

I would still 100% have Reynolds at 7 if he is fit.

Duffy to take Hunt's spot on the bench.

Other than that, I agree completely.

**** Haas, hope we win the GF without him

 

[Dexter]

**** Haas, hope we win the GF without him

Hope we beat Souffs in the GF

 

[Mister Wright]

Nah! Beat them in round 27 to be 8 points clear of the minor premiership and Souths resigned to the wooden spoon.

Broncos wanted to play him in QLD cup last week... QRL said he couldn't play.

We also want him to play this week and are seeking clarification on whether QRL will allow it.

QRL have basically said Karapani's offence is usually a 2 week suspension in their comp.

Also said he won't be sacked this time ... But he's effectively on 2 strikes, ****s up again and he's gone
