You can always count on a Queenslander.

Huh?

All that fraidy cat talk about don`t try to win .

I would rather we play not to lose than play to win,

Who dares wins .

The point I was making was about playing within our ability given the players we are missing.

 

[Big Del]

We have great back ups .


Remember Parra beat them not long ago . Cowboys too .

We have one decent back-up. Roberts and Turpin are mediocre at best.

5 wins in 16 years. I think people can be forgiven for not being confident.

In the immortal words of Nick Diaz ; don`t be scared homie .

We are going to drop a game at some stage, be it against the storm tonight or another one down the track, no one wins them all.

It's how that next loss unfolds and how we respond from it that is important. It cant be a typical Broncos 20/21 style loss where we shit the bed, give up and leak 50. We need to ensure we compete for 80 mins and give ourselves every chance. At the end of the game if we were genuinely out played then after this long winning streak we'll probably take some handy lessons out of it.

We've got a fair bit against us tonight, cold night in Melbourne with players out injured. But if we are the team I'm hoping we've become, we will at least throw a few punches as such and they'll know they've been in a game.

While this game might not be a complete indicator of how we are travelling this year, as a whole it will be a good indicator on how the sides mentality has grown since the dark 2020/20221 years.

Weathers been pretty miserable the last two days in Melbourne, supposed to be clearing up today but so far it’s been wet and windy all morning. Hasn’t been that cold though.

They’re awesome. I think it would be great to also compile them all in to the one thread. It would be a great time capsule to go back and scroll through.
