Broncos Vs. Titans - Build Up Thread

[Charmamba]

Gold Coast Titans have suffered a blow on the eve of the local derby against Brisbane, with veteran centre Clinton Toopi going down injured at training.

The former New Zealand international wasn't able to complete the Titans final training session on Thursday and was seen limping off the park with what appeared to be a leg injury.

I don't know whether that's good or bad news for us ?????

 

[Coxy]

Depends who they find to fill in.

 

[Coxy]

If I was John Cartwright....I'd shoot myself...but I digress ;-)

I would pick:

Zillman
Mead
Bird
Tomane
Gordon
Campbell
Prince

then the forwards....and throw Jordan Atkins or someone on the bench.

Foxsports were saying Josh Graham [icon_shru

LOLZ, Broncos by 50 then.

 

[Big Pete]

I still remember the game Graham outplayed Hodges...

2008 was a dark year for Justin.

 

[Boofhead]

Graham is a wall in defence... But can't make a line break if his life depended on it...

TBH, there is no reason for us not to win, assuming we reproduce or improve last week's form.

On that basis, Broncos by 8, after leading by 28

Looking forward to this one.

Titans fans must be very nervous. TBH the Broncos haven't shown much this year (apart from first half against the Cowboys, and the Melbourne game). If the Titans want to show that they are premiership material they MUST beat the Broncos convincingly.

I reckon if they lose it will destroy their already fragile psyche, and go a long way to putting an end to their hopes for a maiden premiership.

If Broncos play like they did last week : Broncs by 20+
If Boncos play like they have been most of the season: Titans by 20+

Matt Gillet has apparently been training at fullback throughout the week. Precautionary cover I feel.

i would have thought that he would be down the list if we needed to replace Hoffman, especially with Beale on the bench and Norman 18th man

Read something on the courier mail site today about the Titans calling Lockyer a diver from last years finals and being disappointed in him etc etc.

Pretty funny stuff, I think they are nervous.

CourierMail says Hoffman is right to go.

I love Broncos v Titans games, they're always high quality and almost always go right down to the wire.

They are nervous. The Broncs put a clinic on against the Storm, and they're hitting SOME form.
