Broncos Vrs Rabbitohs; Pre-game Talk

[Twiztid]

Yes, Broncos being a one city team have great crowds. However, this is a double header featuring 2 QLD based teams and 2 NSW teams. 2 fighting out for a better top 4 spot and the other 2 are fighting for higher positions inside and just outside the 8. It should have sold out already. Doing the math on the average

I disagree to the seating. Seating up the top is bad. For the size of the stadium, it is better and closer then a stadium like ANZ at that height. I just can't see families racing out to snap up those tickets to those seats.

I'd rather see Glenn starting in the back row with Yow Yeh on the wing.

I'd rather see Glenn starting in the back row with Yow Yeh on the wing.

I agree with Yow Yeh on the wing, but I'd say put Glenn on the bench instead of either Teo or Setu. Look at that bench that is named - there is no utility value there.

 

[Coxy]

Agreed, though I'd reward Josh Hoffman's good performance last week by playing him on the wing. He showed excellent finishing qualities. And defensively I think he's better than Yow Yeh and Glenn out there.

Glenn should be on the bench, no doubt.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Glenn deserves a huge wrap he is in his first year of NRL and hasn't played in the same position 2 games in a row he is a gun I am glad we signed him up.... Hoffman or Yow Yeh should be on the wing it just isn't fair to Glenn playing him outside Hodges...

 

[Coxy]

Yeah, he's wasted in attack and defence on the wing IMO.

 

[Professor47]

Depending on who is playing and who is backing up and how the wed night game pans out... We don't know what we are in for yet. A win would really boost some confidence into the following week's game though and get us back on track!

Message from the Broncos:

I’d just like to inform you all that there are only just over 3000 tickets left for Friday’s double header at Suncorp Stadium.

Because of this, NRL junior passes will not be accepted at the gate. We would appreciate any prompting in the media of this and the games’ kick-off times of 6.30pm and 8.30pm (rather than the normal 7.30 kick-off).

I would like to see Michaels and Glenn swap around.

[jarro65]

Any news on whether Lockyer and Thaiday will be playing ?

I thought both were injured last night in origin ??

 

[thedman]

this is out of the courier - "THE Broncos have paid a hefty price for last night's State of Origin clash with skipper Darren Lockyer and forward Sam Thaiday injured. Neither is likely to line up against the Rabbitohs at Suncorp Stadium tomorrow night."
