PRE-GAME [Round 18, 2024] Broncos vs Panthers

[Battler]

I'm just looking forward to seeing Walsh, our most important player, play for the Broncos for the first time in a month before we lose him again for another two games.

Part-time Bronco?

This is a line in the sand game for our team. We just have to find a way to have a good performance. It’s been a really poor season so far. Our best performance and only one of note so far was the Cowboys win in round 3.

I rate the storm game as a good performance. Despite losing reyno and Mariner breaking his back we were pretty good considering the turmoil.

 

[Midean]

Could be a season trajectory changer if we bear the riff.
Would be huge for confidence.

I really hope Sailor is not in the side no matter what.

 

[McHunt]

Well I'm shocked. Some on here were leading us all to believe that the Panthers wouldn't lose with half their team out. Looks like they should start thinking about sacking their coach too after losing this weekend to a non-origin affected side...wait a minute.

Guess you have to play like headless chooks all season, lose a bunch of consecutive games including at near full strength, and drop to tenth place on the table to have fans questioning the coach. But what would I know. I'm not the one on my period.

LOL. I said that last week. I have to keep moving the line closer to the shithouse.

As others have alluded to, this game is our season-defining moment.
We have 9 games left (plus a bye)
We only have to travel outside of Queensland once (against Newcastle).
Our last 3 games are at Suncorp and will have Reynolds back.
It counts for little but on paper, we are better than every side we play in the run-in except for probably the Panthers and Storm. We just need the right attitude - cut the crap errors, show spirit, aggressive line speed and let's do the simple stuff well.

If we do this... and stay fit, this team can give us one hell of a ride into September.

C'mon boys! Fire the F UP!

I saw someone say somewhere we might need to win 6 of the 9 to make the 8. Kevvie doesn't have much time left to "get things right."

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Mam needs to be in the 7 until Reynolds is back.

Who is your 6?

Ivan can`t coach .
Toddy can . LOL .

 

[Big Del]

It just proves how great Luai is…

Well ,,, he`s certainly better than the 10th best #6 in the comp like Sproj says .
Been a more than serviceable #7 lately too .

 

[Big Del]

Part-time Bronco?

Well the amount of time he spends with trainers holding his hand behind the play you might start to wonder .

 

[Xzei]

How long until Reyno is back? 6 weeks?

I think Madden has to go. He can’t kick us out of trouble and he doesn’t seem to be vocal in attack at all.


I’d either give Rogers ago, or try something wild like giving Ezra the 7 jersey and saying it’s your team now bud, do your worst.

With Reece at the back, also kicking, and Mam playing both sides, I don’t really care who plays 6.

Idk mam was the senior half against the warriors and should have been all over the ball and play calling and for the most part went missing imo,the number on his back will make little difference I think.

That summation is very optimistic, but you make some good points, sure hope you're right.

 

[Bish]

Left Brisbane 7 years ago to go to the UK and came back in January, so I have a lot of games to catch up on.
I’ll be there Friday and will be enjoying my post match victory drink!

 

[BRC088]

Pretty much a sell out - have the Panthers flown their members up?
