Good backline... and that #10 is a worry.

 

[ethos]

Definitely their best team in a while. Especially with no Rovelli and McKinnon back at fullback.

As per usual, the challenge for us will be to cut down their offloads.

 

[Clintos]

Ready for the Broncos team... Prepare to be shocked!

The person who gave this to me tells me that this is the raiders team...and he didn't look properly. I probably shouldn't have jumped the gun. Apologies.

Will post correct team when made available.

 

[MR-BRONCOS]

send all the kicks to Manu Vatuvei he'll drop 85% of em

 

[Clintos]

Kick it between them and let them run into each other...

 

[Pumba]

Got the NYC team Clintos?

 

[Clintos]

Not at the moment. I'm still looking around.

 

[renouf]

That's pretty funny, McKinnon straight back into the lineup... thats a weakness for the warriors

Ol Tatey up against Brisbane for the first time... should be good

 

[Bucking Beads]

If we continue to improve we should spank them but games in NZ are usually close and boring.

 

[lyn]

Boyd will have Tate covered.

 

[renouf]

NZ will come out wanting to bash us as usual, they don't like Brisbane

But hopefully Ennis can get out of dummy half quickly and cause their big forwards some problems

It's not that they don't like Brisbane, but from day 1 of their lives they have seen the Broncos as the benchmark. That was helped by the fact the Broncos were the first team the Warriors played in 1995 - and the Broncos won 25-22 in Auckland.

Warriors-Broncos games in Auckland have been interesting and tight encounters traditionally.

1995: Broncos 25 def Warriors 22
1996: Broncos 38 def Warriors 6
1997: Broncos 34 def Warriors 18
2000: Broncos 28 def Warriors 10
2001: Warriors 13 def Broncos 12
2002: Warriors 18 def Broncos 4
2003: Warriors 22 def Broncos 14
2004: Broncos 21 def Warriors 14
2005: Warriors 30 def Broncos 18
2006: Broncos 23 def Warriors 18
2007: Warriors 24 def Broncos 14

So the overall record in NZ is 6-5 to the Broncos. Let's hope the lead gets pushed back out to 2 games!

I didn't post this because I thought Clintos had already posted it, now I see he got dudded. How about you let us who actually get the official team post it rather than rely on other forums? There's a good lad.

Carroll is out with a hamstring injury.
Hodges is obviously pending the judiciary charge.
Moon would come into the centres if Hodges is ruled out.

Umm okay Mr.Coxy.. honestly nobody else had posted it so I thought I would.. jeeze

 

[Coxy]

renouf: I was having a go at Clintos, not you :P You found the team from an official source so it's all good!

Geez, don't jump to conclusions!

 

[dukey]

I hope McKinnon is close to top form, he may be playing for the opposition but with the ball he's a bloke I love to watch.
