[Foordy]

I didn't expect Mansour to get dropped so quickly

 

[Sproj]

I didn't expect Mansour to get dropped so quickly

He was pretty bad last week though but yeah, I imagine he is also soaking up a bit of their salary cap as well. I wonder what state that roster will be left in post-Bennett.

 

[McHunt]

Kevin Walters on potential suitors, John Asiata and the Titans:

“There’s no concern at all. Kotoni has been in our system for a long time now. He is a very loyal kid and I’m sure he can sense the turnaround in the small time I’ve been here at the club. We have plans around maintaining all those players (Staggs, Dearden and Coates) here in the Broncos jersey and at this stage nothing suggests that will not happen from my end.”

“They are all good players. It’s nice to know other clubs are interested in our players seeing we’re a team tipped to come last. Every club tries to pick off your best players, we do the same to other clubs, it’s just nice knowing other clubs want our players. We have enough space in our salary cap to make sure our guys are re-signed, not just next year but beyond that.”

“John Asiata will have to wear the brace now given what has happened to him. It looks a bit awkward but he feels comfortable wearing it and if it helps him on the field, we’ll stick with it. Local derbies are good. I’m not worried about the Titans at all. We have a big job with our team and getting us to a level where we are all happy. I’m not sure what has been happening down the M1, my focus is on here.”

Someone will get hurt tonight. Probably from the Eels.

 

[BroncsFan]

Cool bankwest on a Thursday night in the rain ... going to be like watching U12's chase around a bar of soap for 80mins

Storm by a thousand

 

[Midean]

One of those games i wish both teams could lose.

 

[Wolfie]

Mahoney is showing a great running game today so far.

 

[Sproj]

I have a suspicion that right side for Melbourne is going to be exploited a LOT this season until B.Lee is back at least. The Rabbits cut it to shreds last week too.

 

[ZTop]

Have to say it's a contest of who can be more offside tonight

 

[BroncsFan]

Have to say it's a contest of who can be more offside tonight

Somehow it's still the Broncos

 

[Sproj]

That had to hurt!

 

[Midean]

Pissing down, wettest game ive seen in ages.

 

[Sproj]

Is there a worse ref in world sport than Klein?

Also, anyone else think Matterson looks a lot like Bird?

 

[ivanhungryjak]

See that sly wink from Gutherson?

 

[BroncsFan]

See that sly wink from Gutherson?

Because parra are the biggest whinging cheating bitches in the NSWRL.... hope storm put 50 on them

 

[Sproj]

See that sly wink from Gutherson?

Yes, he got exactly what he wanted, a break in play.

 

[holdzy]

Storm's kit looks like the Cows a bit. Weird.
