Even though we are missing some key players tonight, the Rabbitohs side on paper really isn't that strong either. They've got an almost rookie halfback having to form new combinations, no Latrell and it's at home so hopefully we can be competitive and not completely shit the bed.
Obviously hoping for a win but would be happy with a competitive loss. Reynolds and Hetherington back next week, along with Paix and Gamble being possible inclusions as well. Bulldogs, Cowboys and Warriors in the next month so we really need to make the most of this easier draw and get at least 2-3 wins to give us some momentum.
I've got no expectations heading into the season after what we've dished out the last few years. Hoping for the best and prepared for the worst. Please show some spine this year you entitled pricks because my grey hairs have fast-tracked watching you in recent times.

I think I'm usually one of the more optimistic members until I get the shits with someone. That doesn't happen very often. Macca, Seibold, Boyd, Milford and to a much much lesser extent, Herbie recently. I still always tip the Broncos to win. And I still want those players to prove me wrong.
Those last two trials really got to me. I went in cocky and came away with barely any positives. Particularly Selwyn's performance. I think we all had a lot riding on him, however unfairly.
But also how we've plummeted to the level of wanting to believe Billy flipping Walters is going to bring us home in September. I think the cognitive dissonance bubble popped in that last game.

It’s was the unknown. We knew we sucked, we’ve sucked for years but until a balls kicked it’s a Schrödinger’s cat situation. We opened the box by watching the trials and confirmed that we still suck.

The cat died when Kobe and Adam tested positive. I hope they can hit the ground running when they return but we shouldn't expect it.

We’re all traumatised by the last 3 years. I still haven’t decided if I’ll get kayo this season. Normally I would have gotten it for the trials but haven’t been given much excitement for it so far.

Albert Kelly:
“I’m excited for this, bring it on. I’m definitely confident I can step up for ‘Reyno’. I’ve had 13 or 14 years in the game, I’ve played in Australia and England and I’ve been in all sorts of positions, six, one, seven, lock and even centre. But the halves is where I’m most suited and I know what I have to do. It’s important I take control of the team and give my teammates around me the confidence to do their jobs."
“I came home to Australia last year to literally nothing. No guarantees in the NRL. At my heaviest in England, I was 106kg. But coming back to the NRL, the training intensities are so much higher. I knew if I wanted to keep my career going, I had to get fitter and I’ve done that. I’ve lost 17 kilos in total. It’s been nothing but hard work, training hard and sorting out my diet. I’m really proud of how much hard work I have put in. I believe I have earnt this opportunity and I want to hold onto a Broncos jumper for as many years as I can.”
Kevvie:
“It’s not about what other people think, it’s about what we think as a playing group and the only way to silence all the doubters is for Billy to go out and play the way we know he can play. I am extremely proud for him with my dad’s hat on, but I have my coach’s hat on for this game. I remember a famous line from Wayne Bennett, if you start listening to the punters, you will be sitting there with them in the stands. It’s a great opportunity for Billy. If he plays the football he is capable of, that will be great for us and great for the team as well.”

Actually, i think the game plan needs to be shift right.
South have Jaxson Paulo playing his first game at left centre. He has Staggs against him.
Thats all id do; give quality early ball to Staggs and unleash him. Good teams identify a weakness and hammer it over and over again until your opposition surrenders and makes changes.
Does anyone else think Billy Walters will shift down to the 9 during the game when Turps needs a rest and give Tyrone a go at 6/7?
