PRE-GAME Finals Week 2 - Cowboys vs. Broncos

[austin71]

I am confidence Broncos can win this game. Player will motivate to win this one for last year grand final. The other thing is Broncos bet the storm in Melbourne this season. Broncos lost the game by only one point in Townsville. If Broncos can match Cowboys physically Broncos can win it.

I always read these posts twice thinking...How many drinks have i had?

Did anyone look at post match Thurston was saying its should be on Saturday next week. We have to fly back. He already start crying right now..

He didn't know what day the game was on, he said he hoped it was Saturday because of the short turn around & losing a day in flight time.......He stopped short of saying it's not fair :laugh:
I thought he was going to burst into tears there and then, it was quite extraordinary..

There'll be a flood of tears when we beat them.

If Tommy O and Roberts both out ,I would sooner take a punt on a young bone fide back in the centres eg Pearson rather then Glen.

Any one else have a spare member code? Not much point me being a member living in Townsville.

But, wouldn't that mean... Maranta on the wing?

I hope Opacic is back. We need some solid defence on that edge, particularly with Gillett looking hampered by his shoulder. Morgan has a great track record on that edge against is, we need to be tight there or he will shred us.

This us a winnable game for us but we definitely have to improve. Cowboys hung in there versus the Storm in unfavourable conditions. Storm's defence was terrific, we're that solid close to the line.

End result didn't surprise me, but it was only in the second half that errors cruelled the Cowboy's chances. They were completing sets at a high percentage and racking up drop outs with kicks behind the line. If we let them do that, we'll be on a hiding to nothing.

A repeat of our effort versus the Storm is what we need. Need to kick early, turn them around and muscle up in defence before their players get back on side. Restrict their progress that way and force them to kick without field position.

I think we are primed to do a smash and grab on the Cowboys this week, get some redemption and then surge through the finals into the big dance.

We are flying well under the radar, everybody including the commentators and bookies have written us off , they've all bagged our 'average' performances yet we've won the last six in a row pretty easily when you think about it and we dealt with the new premiership favorites at their home. Why show everything you've got when you don't need to.

I thought against the Titans we again just did enough to win, regardless of the refereeing I still think we always had enough in us to win that game and the boys believed that too.

We are building nicely and the Storm match proves that when we need to lift to that next level we can.

If Roberts and Opacic are both out, I'd go:

1. Boyd
2. Maranta
3. Oates
4. Kahu
5. Maranta

I know, Maranta...but what other choice is there?

I'd suggest Pearson rather than a mid week cloning of Maranta?

The cows have pretty horrible backline depth themselves, so we should be right if Linett is out (in terms of replacing Roberts).

 

[Foordy]

The Courier Mail reporting that Opacic is likely to come in if Roberts is suspended

They have Bowen to come in, he's more than handy.

 

[noisetheory]

opacic will be good to go.

 

[NImitz]

They get a week off and play the winner of Bulldogs/Panthers.

Melbourne will play the winner of Raiders vs Panthers game.

Does that mean only if Roberts is suspended? So if he beats the charge same team as last week?
