PRE-GAME [Round 2, 2023] Broncos vs Cowboys

[Manofoneway]

I think the inclusion of Walsh this week will be huge. He will want to taste victory after watching the gritty display from the Broncs against Penrith. I feel much more comfortable with him at FB and Cobbo on the wing. The thing we need to shut down is the low percentage plays on our tryline that the Cowboys seem to always score off. The midfield 50-50 kicks to Nanai etc. Kevy better get the pool noodles out this week and teach our boys how to contest for those kicks!

Oates to barrel him over and ‘accidentally’ step on his face about 5 times would be pretty nice.

Almost wouldn’t care about the result if that happened

 

[McHunt]

I agree with @Super Freak but it still makes me feel icky. It’s like your ex-GF telling your current partner how good you are in bed.

Broncos are the class of the competition. We are clearly the little brother of qld. I give us about a 5% chance of winning this game....

5% ? Thats a bit high.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Wow. You have good taste.

@McHunt & @Harry Sack, a couple of very discerning members of BHQ, that much is obvious. Especially because I was enjoying an Ardbeg Uigeadail during our game on Friday night too. I must say Laphroaig & Lagavulin are nothing to be sneezed at either. Pretty much anything from the Isle of Islay.

You are right. We may aswell not even show up.

 

[Sproj]

Agreed.

If we look at a head to head between the teams, as to who is better per position, it will be a very fun game:

1. Drinkwater (not by much)
2. Oates (not by much)
3. Staggs (by a distance)
4. Holmes (not by much)
5. Tuilagi (I'm being generous here and trying to be unbiased)
6. Dearden (I'm being generous here and trying to be unbiased)
7. Reynolds (not by much)
8. Haas (by a distance)
9. Robson (by a distance)
10. Cotter (by a distance)
11. Capewell (by a distance)
12. Nanai (by a distance)
13. Taumalolo (I'm being generous here and trying to be unbiased)

14. Granville (not by much)
15. Flegler (not by much)
16. Taupau (by a distance)
17. Tamou (I'm being generous here and trying to by unbiased)

Basically, there is nothing in it.

 

[Manofoneway]

The differentiator here will be the defense. If we defend like we did last week, we win. The cowboys defense was really quite poor against the raiders.

We win 10 out of the 17 positions. We might just be in it

They will be switched on for this one. Agreed in defence there and in attack we need to play confidently, same as against the Panthers.
I think first half points against the Cowboinkers is vital.

 

[Santa]

Cowboys are overrated. Broncos by 74.

 

[FaceOfMutiny]

Sorry guys I'm taking the missus to the game and she supports the cows so we will probably lose just because I am there...

 

[BroncsFan]

Biggest thing I want to see out of this game is for us to actually turn up and take it to them.

This corresponding fixture last year was in round 3 and it was thought that we could just roll up and celebrate a victory only to get belted and never be in it.

Our squad has been mentally soft for years now and it's the biggest issue we have. Tigers turned up last year and put a score on us... every team that plays the broncos turns up to bash us... do we have the mentality to be up and ready for every fight this year.
