Guys.. we all must be dumb af..
We didn't notice because we were all probably too tired at the time.. but Roberts has played in the 3 jersey already (and played on the right) WCC
So yes. He's just emulating what he did at the titans. Playing 3 but playing on the right

He played in the #3 at the WCC? o_o

I could've sworn he was named in the #4..
 
He played in the 3 jersey.

Well technically he was named in the 4, but for whatever reason played in the 3. Must've been a personal choice thing, there's been a few players over the years who have done that.
 
So pumped for the season opener!

13+ anyone?
 
Confirmation that Moga is on the left.

TWO old schoolmates will form a potent left-side combination for the Broncos this week after Wayne Bennett today pulled a backline selection surprise.
It is a long way from Ipswich’s St Peter Claver College to Cronulla, but that is where Anthony Milford and Tautau Moga will reunite in the Broncos’ backline on Thursday night.
Bennett today confirmed Moga as his starting centre for the NRL season opener, shifting Jordan Kahu to the right wing, and leaving off-season buy David Mead as an emergency only.
Milford and Moga attended the Catholic College and played footy together there, but have travelled very different paths to get to this point.
Moga, one year older than Milford, went to the Roosters and made his NRL debut as an 18-year-old before knee injuries scuppered his career.
He moved to the Cowboys and had similar troubles, before coming to the Broncos in the off-season.
Milford joined the Broncos in 2015 after outlining his talent down in Canberra.
Now the Brisbane-born duo will form a partnership on the left-hand side of the field, with Moga to play alongside another 100kg-plus outside back in Corey Oates.
That will leave James Roberts and Kahu outside Ben Hunt on the other side.
Korbin Sims has shown local trials can pay dividends after he nabbed the front row starting spot alongside Adam Blair.
Sims only joined the Broncos in January, and coach Bennett left him out of the club’s exhibition trip to England because he felt others who had trained since November deserved the reward.
Sims was fine with that, and the former Newcastle prop promptly impressed against Queensland Cup clubs Ipswich and Wynnum to earn his start.
It has moved one of the starters from the match against Warrington, Herman Ese’ese, back to the bench, while Jai Arrow and Tevita Pangai are listed in the 17 in front of Joe Ofahengaue.
Mead, Ofahengaue, Kodi Nikorima and George Fai are the extra players listed, with the final 17 to be chosen an hour before kick-off.
The Broncos will have their final training run in Brisbane tomorrow morning before travelling to Sydney to take on the 2016 premiers.

Fends with his right, played left all last year for Cutters wearing 18 mind you. Did kicking with Milf during and after training yesterday.

Was never going to change.
 
What does this mean for Benji? Origin if needed id say.
 
We have a terrible record against the Sharks lately, only winning 1 of the past 5.

Shark stadium is a stadium we tend to struggle at. We have a 41% win record there.

I think if we win, it will be very close and it will go down to the wire. But I am confident we can win.

We have made some changes, but Sharks have also lost two vital pieces of their success in 2016 and their best option at fullback is now gone.
 
Hoping Moga goes well. If he gets back to what he was before his injury we have a good player. WE have a lot more backline depth this year.
 
What about mead!!!???
