A win will be very unlikely unless dragons shit the bed without Hunt. Without Hunt their spine is extremely inexperienced.
so then a win is guaranteed

Haha I’m in the same boat. I’ve sat in the crowd next him watching the broncos get flogged for years. Please let me have this one.I've got a Dragons supporter over today who's been rubbing it in for the past few years so the Broncos better fucking win today.

Can't get a read on this one. I reckon it's more about the Dragons than us.Haha I’m in the same boat. I’ve sat in the crowd next him watching the broncos get flogged for years. Please let me have this one.
Yeah basically my thoughts too. A lot will depend on where Paix is at with his recovery. He’s the only hooker at the club that can get the forwards rolling so if he is on it will slightly counteract having our 5 best forwards out. If TMM was playing I could see us potentially grinding out a smart and ugly win by defending well and holding out their inexperienced spine but with Niu at the back I have no faith in our defence to not be shredded and we aren’t likely to win a high points game due to our lack of engine.Can't get a read on this one.

Given all our disruptions and that this isn't even a next generation baby Broncos team waiting for a chance, but more of a patched-up, broken recycled squad there's not much for us to see here.
We get a look at Willison, Hosking, Hoeter and Pereira, and Gamble as a utility, but mostly it's about whether Reynolds and Mam can click. And whether Tesi Niu is as shit as we all remember. I guess that's more than nothing.
But the Dragons are full strength minus only Ben Hunt. If they lose this, it means they're a one-man show.
Smart money would have to tip the Dragons, but I refuse to.
It's all about Reynolds really. Hopefully not another game like last week.Yeah basically my thoughts too. A lot will depend on where Paix is at with his recovery.

Broncos by 1-6
yeah, Reynolds will need to put the team on his back I reckon.
I'm hoping for a big game from our fill-in wingers too! Knowing that our starting forwards are out, and not as much depth on bench...I can sense Hoeter, and particularly, Pereira having stormers.
Oh, and Staggs, bloody Staggs(!) need to show some consistency and show up and take a few runs out of trouble when we need it!
I'm looking forward to see what Gamble can offer from the bench.Should have had Bayliss on the bench instead of Gamble, we are going to struggle up front.
