Broncos Have Made the 8 100%

[Nashy]

Not a chance!

You try telling one of our stars that they have to sit out, or end early, the last game in the regular season. We need all guns firing heading into the finals, especially considering we're more than likely going to be bottom 2.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'd be happy for Henjak to take off Hodges, Lockyer and Thaiday if we are up by 30 with 10 mins to go.

 

[Jeba]

I'd be happy for Henjak to take off Hodges, Lockyer and Thaiday if we are up by 30 with 10 mins to go.

Agreed.

 

[Foordy]

I'd be happy for Henjak to take off Hodges, Lockyer and Thaiday if we are up by 30 with 10 mins to go.

I'd also be happy to see McCullough get a spell in the same situation. he has been getting through a lot of work and has been going great guns.

 

[Crazy Sam]

i think certainly lockyer and hodges, given that we are playing on sunday night and might have to back up on friday night if we win.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I'd be happy for Henjak to take off Hodges, Lockyer and Thaiday if we are up by 30 with 10 mins to go.

Meh, all of the above players have had enough rest during the season. Playing the full 80 will only be good for them going into a finals match the week after.

Although yeah, considering Lockyer and Hodges have been heavily strapped up in the last few weeks I can understand the temptation of giving them 10 minutes off.

Only rest them if we are in front by plenty, Locky and Hodges are carrying niggles as is Wallace and they are the key to a premiership if we make it that far.

That was more of the angle I was going for - the heavy strapping.... I remember in 04/05 players were heavily strapped and we lost ALL our final matches... even more so, the players looked flat. I'm not saying they look flat now but they certainly don't look like spring chickens either... 10mins off if we are up by 14+ was what I was thinking. eusa_think

Titans have defeated the Tigers 36-24 which means now even if we dont beat the Raiders next week we can not fall out of the 8. Brisbane have made the finals![/quote]

Now don't say the Titans haven't done anything for you lately.

Ironic mind you. The Titans helped get the Broncos into the eight and the Broncos were responsible for keeping the Cowboys out of the eight.

 

[Charmamba]

and now with the Raiders beating the knights a top 5 Finish is looking good

 

[BroncoBuck]

Just a little bit of cockiness in here. The raiders will be fired up too. I can't see it being an easy win.

 

[Charmamba]

raiders shut down in the second half last night. To many errors and abit of luck. Newcastles defence was similar to Brisbanes back in our 56-0 loss. if Raiders play like they did last night on Sunday we should smash them.

 

[Black Philip]

I think after the 56-0 loss we will be desperate to tag them back. I'm hoping we're fired up and absolutely smash them.

 

[Nashy]

I want to make history. I'm tipping 217 - 3

 

[Black Philip]

Raiders field goal?

 

[Coxy]

Raiders field goal?

Yep. It'll be 2-2 on the shadow of half time and so Campese will slot the field goal to give them the psychological advantage.

Locky will level the scores 3-3 with 10 minutes to go.

Broncos will then score 35 converted tries in the final 9 minutes, and then an unconverted try in the corner after the siren.

 

[Browny]

Sounds good to me

That's only going to happen if Paul Carraige comes out of retirement and signs with the raiders before this weekend
