Remember when these threads were Santa taking the piss at the start of every season …. Do we dare believe?

We need to keep our cool and we go with anyone. We get behind and play too frantic, I'd be worried. But if we come out and we're clinical from the start, we're hard to beat.

Taking the piss? These threads have always been 100% legit!

For some it was taking the piss, for others it was scripture. With religion, it has ever been so.

Mitchell Pearce? Actually pretty sure it was Karmichael.

Karmichael was 21 when he reached game #100. You guys may remember it, it was against Newcastle and the Broncos held a slender lead when the Knights put it in a daring chip and chase. It looked like the Knights were going to regather until Karmichael hit the ball like a bullet, made a break and earned a penalty and a sin-bin. The play changed the game and the Broncos went onto farewell TC & Bennett.

I braved it and bought my GF tickets as well, alot more were taken since last week but got some mid tier stand tickets a bit ahead of the goal line, forget which side.

If they didn't have mid tier I probably wouldn't get them because I know from experience how bad the first tier is, it's soo flat you can't see shit.

@Santa, allow me to indulge you with an early Christmas present. We are definitely winning it this year.

The NRL going to Las Vegas is all about star power. The Rabbitohs have Rusty. Manly have Wolverine. The Roosters have... very wealthy backing.

Do Brisbane even have any star power associated with them. I can't think of any big name fans in Australia, let alone with international cred.

Sure, we are the biggest sporting club in the country, but America is not our country. And the fact that we are almost always on prime time slots means nothing to a country in a completely different time zone.

So why will we be there? Because what showpiece event would be complete without the best team in the comp, aka the current premiers?

Merry Christmas everyone.
