At least not since Round 18 2015 where they lost their forth game in a row (surprise, surprise against the Warriors in the Origin period). Before then you'd have to go back to Round 18 2014 to find their next consecutive losses.
History doesn't bode well for the Broncos. Not only are the Storm ultra consistent, the Broncos haven't beaten them at Suncorp since Round 2 2009.

No doubt Brisbane can win. Whether we do or not is an entirely different matter. I think the betting will indicate that Melbourne will only be slight favourites. I'm not sure Nikorima will play next match even with WBs statement that he intended him to come back on in the second half. I don't think he'll make the bench for the next match and I will be surprised if Hunt doesn't partner Marshall for the rest of the season. When (if) Milford returns then things would naturally change with Hunt and Milford starting and Bunji to the bench....Kodi's dreadful attempts at tackling and his unwillingness to put his body in front won't have been missed.

Trainer brings the player from the field . Doctor assesses after they come from the field . Could be ordered by coach .Doctor not calling players off .
Moga doesn`t deserve to be dropped . Not doing much wrong IMO .

Dont see what thats got to do with me saying that about Tommy tbh. Plenty would argue with you though.
We could actually have our depth tested a little in the centers if Moga or Roberts picks up an injury.

I like Tommy`s game . I don`t think he out performs Moga . Relevant in that , fit or not . He`s not pushing Moga out atm .

Obviously, he is injured. But his game in many respects is better than Moga. All i see after watching them both ( and i've seen them at every level they have played at since they were 18 ish i would say ), all i see is that Moga takes better hit ups and runs more meters, and he has a better leap on him. Thats about it. Tommy has him covered in every other aspect. We havent seen anywhere near what Tom is capable of just yet at NRL level. He won rookie of the year last year, and he could barely move his shoulder to even pass the ball a lot of the time without pain, so that was a fantastic achievement really. I'll judge him properly at NRL level when he can get a run when he is fit, not like some do on basing it on watching a kid who played busted for the majority of his time in the NRL.
I doubt Moga is even going to be here next year anyway, so if we had another fit player of any decent quailty for left center, i'm fairly confident Bennett would pick them. I suppose we will see after June 30.
Kahu is a decent player, but not a strong fullback. He normally has good positioning in defence at Fullback, though when Kahu is made to do a 1 on 1 tackle he normally fails. He doesn't add much in attack either. The 1 thing I will say was great was his goal kicking (I can let that terrible 1 slide).
But changes should not be made this week against a strong side like storm.

Why drop Ese'ese? I thought he was strong. He's a big body in the middle which we need. I thought Mead was poor at the start of the game, but made some strong carries later which was good to see. I still think Pearson offers us more - he's bigger, stronger, faster, better under the high ball, better finisher...

Problem is we have best 2 of spine out vs slater, Munster, Cronk and Smith. Think only way we win is by taking risks. Melbourne as stated don't loose games in a row and their defence will be tight. If pays off might set a structure that keep us winning while stars are out. If doesn't no harm done we realistically need to budget this as a loss anyway and can see which one of our three 5/8s make it into 2 halves if needed.
Knik for a isc spell and a 4 forward bench. If sammy is out bring in isaako on the bench.

There's something missing here but I don't know what it is. Were you writing this while running for a bus? On a treadmill?

I thought we were no chance last night so I'm going to go in with that attitude this week and hopefully be pleasantly surprised again.
