Broncos by 7.

 

[Foordy]

I hate those Melbourne players ... :laugh:

 

[Renegade]

Repeat the same comment every week: if we're not tight at marker or through the guts, Slater and Co will have a field day.

But I think we can get them, they're nowhere near the same side they used to be.

 

[Alec]

Not as confident as others. Can't afford to have any derp periods like we've had throughout most of this season. Cameron Smith always seem to dominate our markers. They have a good defence, I dunno if they'll fall for Hunt's dummies as easily as the last few teams we've playe.

We'll need to take this game seriously and if we have to go to sleep, at least try to make it a 5 to 10 minute nap, rather than a 20 minute snooze.

 

[Cult]

I have a friggin' date at 6:30 tonight..

If we can reproduce the effort against the Warriors then we should beat Melbourne.

I'm very interested to see how the players respond to the week that's been.

[GCBRONCO]

Pretty tight one in the Under 20's atm for a change, Broncos currently up 4-0 approaching halftime.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Jordan Drew has limped off the field and the Broncos go close to scoring again.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Taylor nails a 40/20 to put the Broncos well positioned late in the first half.

 

[GCBRONCO]

4-0 at halftime.

 

[Cult]

I have a friggin' date at 6:30 tonight..

Woo date has been postponed and instead she's coming over with fish and chips to watch the football! Might keep this one around.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Storm score in corner and its 4-4.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Storm score again and it's 8-4.

 

[GCBRONCO]

10-4

 

[GCBRONCO]

Jayden Nikorima slides through the Storm defence, passes to Paul Byrnes and we score under the black dot
