PRE-GAME Round 12 - Warriors vs Broncos

[papabear]

The warriors do tend to time there run during origin before fizzing out as teams get serious again with a run in towards the finals.

Probably the worst time to get the warriors.

Also with no boyd and no milford and a semi competent team should be up for keeping you guys to a low score in attack. Whether the warriors are a semi competent though.. who knows.

Also I just checked the team list and cant comment on a lot of broncos fringe players except waddell.

Dead set, I have never seen a hooker make first grade who takes so long to pass the ball. I was cheering when newcastle got him and he became waynes bestie. Macca is a big out for you guys with him as your back up.

He played a few games last year and definitely wasn't poor. Didn't set the world on fire but he was competent enough.

Mentor becomes enemy as Kahu prepares to face Kearney’s team

JORDAN Kahu is ready for one of Brisbane’s toughest games of the season, as he prepares to come up against his former mentor Steve Kearney.

The clash against the Warriors on Saturday will be the first time the Broncos will meet their former assistant coach in his new job at the helm of the New Zealand team.

Kearney took on the role of head coach of the Warriors at the start of the year and has since endured a rollercoaster season, with his side claiming just four wins from 11 rounds.

Despite mixed results so far for the Warriors, Kahu is expecting Saturday’s showdown in Auckland to be one of the toughest yet for the Broncos.

Brisbane will be without six of their Origin stars and Kahu, who will play at fullback in place of Darius Boyd, also knows how good a coach Kearney can be, even in tough times.

In his four years as an assistant coach at Brisbane, Kearney became a mentor to Kahu and the versatile Brisbane back said it would be a “weird” experience coming up against someone who has helped him so much in his career.

“He has been there through a lot of my career and I definitely have a close relationship with him,” Kahu said.

“It’s going to be a bit weird but it will be good to see him.

“When he was at the club, I felt like he was the person I could talk to and go to. I feel comfortable speaking to him. I could talk to him about anything, which was good.

“It was all the little things. If I wasn’t happy with something on the field I could talk to him about that or even if it was something off the field.”

Kearney also handed Kahu his first New Zealand jumper in 2015, when he coached the Kiwi team.

Despite their close relationship, Kahu has vowed the Broncos will travel across the ditch determined to get a win over the 2008 World Cup-winning coach.

Last time Brisbane made the trip to take on the Warriors, they were embarrassed 36-18 and Kahu said the result was not forgotten.

“Going to New Zealand, the Warriors always put on a good performance when they play us,” he said.

“We haven’t spoken about (last year) but everybody knows it’s not going to be easy over there.”

I don't understand Broncos are the richest club in nrl so why can't they just throw a few more hundred for more jerseys. The sponsors would pay for the extra jerseys anyway.

I'm guessing you're joking about Waddell. You clearly didn't watch the games he played. In fact, some of the comments after his matches were complimentary about his crisp service and favorable remarks concerning a comparison to McCullough were made too. Of course, maybe they were all made by me ha ha....

The warriors fans will also start declaring Shaun Johnson the best in the NRL again too. Same as every year.

Don't you have the NRL digital pass?

Nope ... I refuse to pay Telstra for it ... I've had it before and it was shit.

when watching on the tablet, the video feed dropped out constantly having to restart the app to get it back.

also the fact that regardless of the size screen i'm watching it on (whether PC, Tablet or Phone), the screen size for the live feed was always limited to about 10"

waste of money
