[Super Freak]

Kalyn Ponga out.

Klemmer will make his return.

 

[Kimlo]

So Milford fullback isn't happening?

 

[mitch222]

They said Pongas injury in the warmup might be long term

 

[Super Freak]

So Milford fullback isn't happening?

There was mention it wasn't going to be traditional roles. Perhaps it is but the switch is just going to happen in game.

 

[Maddy1to9]

Leave your fucking attitude out and turn up with positive mindset guys. Tackle hard and turn up for each other. A 'W' is all that matters from now on. Show me my win today.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Don't get me wrong I'll always be happy to win but beating Newcastle without Ponga is hardly the best chance to prove you aren't a joke.

 

[PNG Broncos fan88]

Haven't scored 20 points in a game since May 10, and haven't even gone past 30 all year.
Who is the attacking coach, Ben Cross??

 

[Sproj]

Both 6s listed at fullback, I wonder when the last time was that that occurred.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

In many ways the Boyd move to 6 is pretty interesting. He won't be able to cat his way out of defence being in the line.

 

[ZTop]

The broncos website has in the late mail the original 1-17

 

[Sproj]

The broncos website has in the late mail the original 1-17

Yep I'm confused too but I imagine that would be more correct than the NRL website wouldn't it? So maybe Milf and Boyd still status quo.

To be fair our attack has been a little pedestrian since 2016. Yes we racked up some scores last year, and 2016 we were second highest point scorers but they were largely individual brilliance.

The last time we appeared to be strong attackers as a team was 2015 (was kevie in charge of the attack then?)

 

[Super Freak]

Don't get me wrong I'll always be happy to win but beating Newcastle without Ponga is hardly the best chance to prove you aren't a joke.

The Knights still have plenty of strike especially with Mitchell Pearce in career best form.

 

[PNG Broncos fan88]

I hope my TV survives the next 2 hours, clearing the lounge for any loose stuff in case it's another insipid display of the 'brittle' Broncos.

 

[ezpz]

Fox called Milf as FB.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Switching to a number of radio stations calling the game they report it as well.

 

[Accept]

Turned out to be a nice day here. Clear, cool and calm and conditions are mainly dry. The Ponga omission is a big plus but the Knights will still be too strong.
