No surprise. Stagg to five-eighth. I'd expect Moon and Watkins to drop off the bench if the starting 13 pass fit.

I doubt Hodges will play but hopefully he pulls up ok. We have some really good depth this season. Taylor will probably miss out again which we are all getting used to.

Poor Moon

 

[gUt]

Moon should play in front of Hodges no matter what. Would like to see Hodges given as much time as possible to get over injuries.

 

[spoonbled]

depends on if WB thinks their forwards will be too mean to put Taylor on.

They might scratch him or something.

Henjak is coach this week, he has total control [icon_wink

 

[renouf]

You need to have Taylor in the side, Manly always have 3 or 4 forwards on the bench

Manly have a great forward pack but no real quality in the halves.. I am confident our defence can toughen up and keep them out so we can get the win on Sunday.

 

[Steve]

Really looking forward to this game. Manly are a quality team and it's a great test facing them at home without Lockyer. But unlike last year we'll have K and good form to boot so we won't be going in handicapped.

And how good is it to be playing in the afternoon? Nothing better than soft autumn sunshine. I love footy in the day time.

Coxy do you have a source to the Broncos NYC Team?

The NRL and Broncos websites I would suggest! They are defintely the best places to get info on them.

Two pretty good sides in Brisbane and Manly, should be a ripper of a game. I think our backline has enough points in them and the forwards are going well enough to lay a platform for Wally and Hunt.

We should win, but I expect it to be close, probably a 6 or 8 point win.

Yeah that what I thought but they are not there.

 

[Locky_karmichael]

The NRL site definitely has it, but it is usually later in the week i.e thursday or early friday

 

[Hamm.0]

What's Sportsbet got us on for this game? We would have to be going in as underdogs.
I hope they don't play Hodges if there is even an inkling of fatigue from the Test. Swap out straight for Moon.
Geez I hope Taylor gets a run!

Gawd, is Hasler thick or what? Instant win for the Broncos.

[icon_lol1.

No Bani? His family will be disappointed, I heard he requested 20 seats for the match.

Totally agree - or we'll add Hodges to the Lockyer List.

Solid team - hope Big Dave gets a run
