PRE-GAME [PRELIMINARY FINAL] Brisbane Broncos vs New Zealand Warriors at Lang Park

[Scorchie]

For mine fans should be banned from training.

Let the guys prepare for a game in peace.

Are you okay mate? You realise the game is played for the fans to watch. If you don’t engage the fans what game do we have?

If they wanted a private session they’d go to Suncorp.

That's what gameday is for.

Then there's the various other types of fan engagement such as fan days, shopping centre visits, school visits etc.

I’m sure if it was a problem they wouldn’t have built a purpose built mini grandstand for fans to sit on and watch

Good luck Broncs, you're gonna need it!

I understand your confidence given some of form over the season by the Warriors but we had plenty of injuries/suspensions resulting in our combinations and teamwork not being quite as good.

What we did to the Knights last week we did after playing Penrith, the minor prems 2-time premier form team to beat. To write us off before the game has begun is a big mistake. Not sure if many of you watched the game given how you're carrying on but last week we were clinical, our best performance so far this season playing with confidence...

Looking forward to the game, hope whoever wins goes on to beat Penrith!

I watched it.

Knights were absolute rubbish. They were completely out of gas. Arm grabs and poor reads in defence, no line speed and poor around the ruck. Not to mention they were also without Hastings and Fitzgibbon. But despite all of this, it wasn't until the final 20 that you guys put them away.

Raiders played a better Knights side and put 28 points on them, even they would have put 40 on that Knights side that played in NZ.

Yep and had to travel to NZ.

Warriors played Penrith, but they knew they weren't winning that game so they didn't exactly put in 100%. They were far far fresher than the Knights.

Clearly a strong premiership potential mentality. Weren’t going to win a game so half assed it so they’d have to play an extra week. Genius coach Webster must be!

It's game day!!!

LETS KILL SOME WARRIORS!!

The Warriors are a different side with Egan, SJ, CNK and TMM fit.

Broncos won't see it coming, the Warriors won't leak Try's like the Storm did. Websters men are going to Lang Park to win

The Broncos seem to be to ready to just show up and win. Big mistake. Brisbane and Melbourne are the only two sides in the NRL the Warriors actually enjoy playing.

Good luck tonight champs. Going to take a mighty effort. Probably close to as perfect as you can get. I imagine in 2011 you were just as bigger dogs as tonight. Never say never

Interesting, how did they go against those two sides this year?

You could also argue that Brisbane are a much better side with the inclusion of all their origin stars that were not there that night we beat the Warriors in Napier.
Haas, Carrigan, Flegs and Walsh increase this side significantly both in attack and defence. Reece alone normally contributes 6-18 points a game either through trys and/or try assists.
The game isn't a given, we fans know that. The Warriors will be ready to go but, if Brisbane turn up like we did against Melbourne 2 weeks ago our best > Warriors best.

CARN THE BRONCOS!
