PRE-GAME [Round 1, 2026] - Broncos vs Panthers

[Santa]

When does it come out

In 12 minutes...

 

[Fitzy]

Nothing surprising other than the double backs on the interchange. Puzzling. Can we **** Paix off already

I would not be shocked at all if J. Hunt is promoted above Arthars come game day.

Mozer's time will come, but for now it's Cory's spot.

Agreed. Blake just needs to stay injury free and he'll force his way in.

Couldn't help but notice no mention of the Coach on either the official Broncos graphic or the BHQ one. Is this a sign of a mutiny against the Coach? I think so.

Agreed

I doubt we'll have two outside backs on our 6 man bench

No surprises 1-17. Not jazzed about Goz starting but Madge is right to pick him.

Interesting that it's Arthars and Anderson in the 18-19 slots... I thought we'd see Arthars fight Anderson for the 18, and Duffy in the 19. Though I guess we've got two hooker/halves already so there's less need for injury cover to Reyno or Ez on the bench.

If you are going on the NRL site, well...

Storm:
3. Jack Howarth

Storm: Excitement machine Sua Fa'alogo is the new No.1 with Ryan Papenhuyzen having departed the club while Moses Leo gets his shot in the centres and Nick Meaney pushes out to the wing with Jack Howarth (groin) and Xavier Coates (achilles) both sidelined.

We probably don't need to carry Duffy when we already have Ben Hunt on the bench. Anderson can plug a hole in the halves in an emergency also.

GOD DAMN... It feels good to finally be back.

Why did they move mozer? Get him into a better system?

Nvm i just read your post in the qcup thread.

 

[Big Pete]

Arthars named for the Magpies.

I think it will be good for Mozer to get out of Souths... they seem to be very up and down which is potentially not a great location for someone looking to get a bit of stability in his footy

 

[1910]

Wynnum- Allen, Verhoeven, Te Kura, Hunt, Bukowski

 

[Big Pete]

Jaiyden Hunt named for the Seagulls.

I got too cocky BHQ.

Theoretically does that mean Duffy and Anderson are our 18/19 players.

although I'm not sure if the QLD cup team announcements mean too much for how the NRL team lines up on game day
