He's there so Oates can have a friend.

Hunt was poor but the Broncos just don't have anyone who can cover the 2nd row with Piakura injured.

He's a depth signing, right? Broncs are damn short on 2nd rower depth so maybe he thinks he'll get a bigger opportunity.

QLD can't go wrong with either player, but I just can't see how you can have both in the same 17.

He's bulking so he can smash through the wall.

I hope you're wrong about Johnston, it would be amazing to see a record like that be broken. If it doesn't happen Souffs can go and get stuffed.

This has been the Oates experience for many years now. He'll have games where he drops the ball a handful of times and then have games where he jumps in the air and defuses every single contested bomb that goes his way. Just never know what you're gonna get.

I like the short line drop out, but the Broncos had success with Reynolds doing the kicking and targeting Farnworth last year. Haven't had as much success with Cobbo in the centres, and once Reynolds went off it was hard to imagine having much success at all. I'm happy for the Broncos to keep...

Done well to keep it that close, especially with no Haas, Walsh and Reynolds missing half the game. The Broncos signings this year have been super disappointing though, namely Baker and Hunt. Maybe Oates could develop as a back rower over the season?

Yeah, I couldn't believe that.

OK I'm starting to think the higher powers want the Broncos to lose this.

What the ****...

When are Haas and Walsh back?

Feels like his knee is being held together by sticky tape this year. If its somehow not a major injury, I hope he still takes all the time he needs to recover, the Broncos will need him at the end of the year.

That's such a Darren Lockyer play!
