It's still Parra, and Chrissy isn't there to shred us. Comfortable win for the Broncs.
 
For the record, I hope you're all right and I'm wrong. I want the Broncos to win every week, I just write in here what I'm actually tipping in my tipping comps, it's not realistic for us to win every week, so please don't get upset when I predict an upset loss.

The Eels have:

A new fullback
A new halves combo
A new center
A hooker returning from a serious injury

Broncos by plenty
This. We have a lot in our favour.

Talk of Eels being in form is absurd. I don't begrudge them their success in the 9's but it means SFA tomorrow night.

An upset is possible but unlikely. When it comes down to it, we have the defence, discipline and conditioning to shut their offence down. I am confident they can't do the same. Provided we keep possession equal or in our favour, they can't hang with us.

The big variable as someone has already pointed out is the refereeing. Judging from last year, we'll have trained to adapt to the new rules, but adherence to the new standard proved detrimental when other teams toed the line and weren't penalised. Given home ground advantage, I can see the Eels getting away with a little tunnel ball while we get pinged for less.
 
16 rookies named yesterday- 20 if you include extended benches. The most since round 1 1997 when we had 27.

Broncos 0.
 
Maybe 1910 is loosely suggesting that eden has played superleague and is therefore not a rookie. .?
 
From training today and Courier Mail seems to confirm what Smokin' Joe said about Reed, won't be playing against Eels but not far off.

Foran out, Kelly in. Might want to reconsider your tip.

Legit? Wow that is a huge out and a shit in.

Seriously if we lose now that would be fucking shame.

Yeah if that's the case I will be changing my tip, haha. It was primarily based on Foran having a blinder.

Edit: I can't find anything anywhere saying that Foran is out yet, just an article on NRL.com saying that if Foran is ruled out that Kelly will come in.

BREAKING: Luke Kelly to suit up for @TheParraEels after Keiran Foran succumbs to hamstring injury #NRLparbri @7NewsSydney @7Sport

This tweet from 7th tackle (Channel 7 Sydney) is the only one I could find.
 
Does anyone know the kick off time(qld time)? I am going to see Clutch at the triffid tomorrow night and was hoping to be able to watch the game first!
