PRE-GAME PRE-GAME [Round 5, 2023] Broncos vs Wests Tigers

[Mick_Hancock]

I know most of us are nervous given our history against the side that hasn’t seen finals action since 208BC.
But…..
This year we are in the fight!! We compete for 80mins and drown teams that can’t go with us. Fitness and solid scrambling defence is an awful thing to come up against for a full 80mins. We keep turning up with that attitude all year, we win way more than we lose.

 

[Scorchie]

Knowing us, we'll beat Tigers and the Storm this year but lose to the Titans and the Knights.

 

[LittleDavey]

If we respect the footy, play simply and wait until they break, we'll win by a lot. If we try and get cute like the last 2 weeks, we could be in for an unpleasant surprise.

Tigers are top offloaders in the comp this year. Offloads traditionally bother us, though we have been a lot better at containing them this year. It also needs to be a focus this week.

 

[Mustafur]

Is it possible?

Well they are worse this year then last by being 17th.

Yea a completion rate of 67% (against The) was not great. If we get that up and stick with our defence, we should smash em!

 

[Mum-the-meatloaf]

Any chance of seeing Hetherington

 

[Swordfish]

Nope, no chance of seeing him @Suncorp this Saturday. However, you could see him turn out for his Q-cup side though .

 

[MagicMan87]

4-0 vs 0-4 on April fools day. Can see the tigers leading by 4 with 10 seconds left and the Broncos scoring a 100 meter try converted from the sideline by Reynolds to play the ultimate April fools joke on tigers fans.

 

[BroncosFever]

pretty sure that will be us in next weeks pre game thread if we lose to the tigers.

It will be us even if we win.

 

[007]

Not official yet and it is from Hooper, so at this stage, take it with a grain of salt.

Sydney says done deal. Wont be this week, possibly round 8. Tigers are paying some serious transfer tax this year.

 

[MMB1]

So the Tigers have not won in the last 4 games of this year and are due for a win.

And so Brisbane have won the last 4 games this season and are due for a loss.

Also, Brisbane has not beaten Tigers in the last 4 games, so are we due for a win against them?

 

[Waynesaurus]

If we lose this game it completely destroys anything we have achieved in the first four rounds this year.

It will be unforgivable.

What in the world are those people making these calls at Tigers thinking? Big 2 year deal for a 34 year old with hefty transfer fee .

Don’t want to dwell more but that club is making another blunder here. They should’ve let go Brooks for his own good but not the case to be. Oh, well!

It's not happening anyway.

For their sakes, Mitchell had some brains to say no .

Was probably never going to happen. All a ploy to try and scare Brooks into playing better...

Brooks must be bored of these nonstop ploys from Tigers when in reality, he needed change of clubs & not ploys. Probably he’s waiting on his current deal to expire for him to switch clubs.
