stuck in a can with a bunch of ferals.

This might be the most apt description of public transport I've ever read.

just FYI the broncos site says he will be at 100%. no concerns at all.

Excellent news, in my book if you're not 100% you shouldn't play

Robina has the opposite problem, its not the crowd number, it's just getting there.

i went to the broncos game earlier this year and was suprised by how easy it was. parking right beside the stadium and the train station was also right next to it. what more do you need?

 

[GCBRONCO]

Perhaps it's changed then, tbh early on it was a nightmare.

Good audio interview with Wayne about different topics including finals.

Brisbane Broncos lock Corey Parker has been cleared for the side's qualifying final against the Cowboys.

The veteran sent a scare through the Broncos camp after a hamstring strain ended his Tuesday training session early.

Parker completed Friday's captain's run and was kicking for goal after training.

Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett played down any concern over Parker.

"Corey was never out, you just made it a big news story," he said.

"All our quality players mean a lot to us, so he's no different."

The 33-year-old has had close to a career-best season that has included being named Wally Lewis Medallist as the best in this year's State of Origin series.

Bennett said the Broncos were preparing for a full-strength Cowboys outfit, despite injury clouds over playmakers Johnathan Thurston (groin) and Michael Morgan (ankle).

The days seem to be going longer.

It feels like I've been waiting nearly 2 weeks.. Perhaps it's just because we last played on Thursday.

Fucking nightmare in 2010.

That was a very long bus ride from Pacific Fair.

Training this morning at Lang Park; Parker was restricted he wasn't running at 100% and they were practising lots of short kick offs.

What do people think of the Roosters Storm result? I personally think it's about the best possible result for us. If I remember correctly - should we beat the Cowboys, we'd then have the Roosters at Suncorp for a preliminary final, again assuming they win through. I must admit I like the thought of that a fair sight better to playing them in a Grand final in Sydney.

To be honest I don't think they will even make it that far. They were exposed tonight. Take their back 3 out of the game and they have nothing.

Fair assessment, they did look vulnerable, but few teams are able to impose their will like the Storm.

Roosters got frustrated and veered away from their strengths as Melbourne ground, wrestled, and chipped away at their resolve.

They'll be fired up next week for sure.

This game is pretty much crucial now. I don't want to be taking on the Storm at AAMI Park instead of playing at home against the Dogs

In my opinion their season ended when waerea-hargreaves went down

Dead on. Storm away is probably our worst possible match up. We conceded defeat last time versus the Dogs but I'm generally pretty confident whenever we play them. Stylistically, we just seem to have their number.
