PRE-GAME [Round 17, 2024] Broncos vs Warriors

[Broncapz]

Were you expecting the Titans to put 66 past the Warriors today?

A week is a long time in league.

Makes me feel a little better about losing to the Titans at least.

 

[Super Freak]

Why won’t we have our origin players? Technically they can back up. Billy and Cam used to pride themselves on backing up for the Storm.

We aren't really in a position where we can rest them. We have another bye up our sleeve, they can rest then.

L L L B L B > Warriors > Panthers

Looking grim. Potentitally 7 rounds with out a win. How good to be a Broncos fan.

Geez that’s pretty grim. Hadn’t realised we were doing that poorly

Well it is slighly incorrect. It makes it better looking at it like this anyway.

Last 11 rounds:
W W W L W W L B L L B

 

[McHunt]

At the risk of being Captain Obvious here, following this round's thumping by the Titans, this game's a must win for our coaches' credibility. Regardless of who is in, out or backing up. The talk is over. Get it done.

In my opinion, not only is this a must win, it's a must thrashing. If we limp through or lose, I think Kevvie, and his assistants, are fair game for whatever negativity comes their way.

This is it. Buckle up.

Absolutely. Get them on the Air NZ flight out of Melbourne at midday on Thursday in business class. That flight is a wide body 777 jet, so that they can rest on that ffs

Kevvie can rest them if he thinks the rest is better for them than they are for the team in their current condition, bearing in mind the long term consequences. Either way, he will be judged on the result.

If Cobbo is mentally exhausted by his workload, imagine Carrigan.

Pat has been visibly exhausted early in games for at least the past 2 months. He is 100% being burnt out and it's concerning.

I'd be close to writing off our season if Patty got injured. Reece wins games for us, while Patty is the glue in the middle. Without either, we struggle.

 

[Totally Unr3al]

More pest/manipulate/mind games than argue. It's all part of the game.

I’d prefer we just stop dropping the ball more than everyone else in the comp

 

[Super Freak]

Shaun Johnson picked up a hamstring issue and was in visible discomfort at full time.

No word on severity or whether he’s out but he’s in doubt.

They are playing better without him this year...

 

[Super Freak]

Yep it’s like Luai for the Panthers in the GF. They played a lot better without him.

We’re just not getting any luck this year after getting all of it last year.

I’ll take an ugly win playing across the ditch. I don’t think we have the points in us to put on a thumping

 

[Santa]

You're right.

Warriors will be expecting to win, but we come in with the ambush.

Broncos 66 - Warriors 6

I think I called this a week too early...and for the wrong qld team...

 

[vertigo]

This is going to be a dire game. Both teams desperate to get out of the mire.

Whoever makes less errors will win.

 

[Sproj]

Funny thing is...we're still sitting 7th, hence no need to panic and yes expect two more losses in a row.

It's more the way we've been losing than our position on the table. A couple more losses like these and folk will be talking about Kevvie losing the dressing room.

Signing Gosiewski set off the alarm bells for me. We must be under serious cap strain.

 

[BroncosFever]

Zero chance the Warriors fold up like they did against the Titans.
