Would be nice going into the finals with some sought of consistency... We play pretty much the best game of the season followed by that dog shit they played last week v the Chooks... Any other side would have put 30 on us before half time! On paper Broncos by 12 but who knows which Broncos are gonna turn up? On the other hand if we pile on points and win convincingly I will be somewhat confident we can go all the way

Thats the thing about playing the Storm ... the game can affect your following week performance.
It would have taken everything, both physically and mentally to defeat Melbourne in Melbourne ... and that's why we started pretty flat last week against the Rorters

Hope you're right... If that is the case, hopefully the cows get the Storm treatment this week and come out next week a bit second hand

The pleasing fact is that they played 1 half of dog shit, and then we're able to turn it around.

So according to the titbirds fans we are "entitled". Their forum is a crack up regarding this game

They're just parroting what their captain (Friend) said
You're right it wasn't training that made them flat last week; just a hard game to get up for after the Storm contest.
Training was normal leading into the Roosters' game.

Cows showed the team how to win last week - focus on defence, play it down their end with early kicks and chase the thing. Grind, and be patient. They will make the first error looking for something flash when our defence keeps them pinned.
Parker and Milford will have crackers, Broncos by 6

Do you think maybe the occasion got to them a little bit?
Like for the less experienced players.

And not only that, it's the first time we have come back from 14 points down and won since that 2006 Preliminary Final against the Bulldogs.

Not likely from my part. Did they even put it up on the screen? If so I missed it.

No they didn’t
Interesting game with a few observations.
Broncos have given away the least penalties in the competition this season- 124. So the Titans don't get easy marches down the field.
Titans marker defence is very strong and they are the only team this season that hasn't given up a try from dummy half so McCullough will have to work hard to make ground or get the markers engaged to help his forwards.
Titans are dangerous close to the line, they love a front man- James is really good at it. Titans have scored the least amount of tries of the eight teams so they're going to have to find at least 24 points somewhere- their right side can do it. Broncos left side will be the defensive side under pressure.
Titans defence in the middle leaks badly they don't get back and set you can get a roll on through there. Milford, Hunt and McCullough will combine up the middle like last year against the Roosters to expose it.
Boyd starting on the outside shoulder then coming off Milford's inside shoulder will catch them too.

No just think it's hard one week out from the finals, after playing the Storm and playing well to still be up when not a lot at stake.
