PRE-GAME [Round 21, 2025] Broncos vs Eels

[BroncsFan]

I don't know about Jensen off the bench.

Might just be rewarding Willison's form??
- although Jesse coming straight back in is a bit of a slap in the face to Mariner

It's definitely all guns blazing to start the game in an attempt to blow them off the park early, but I would prefer Willison bringing impact off the bench

 

[FACTHUNT]

I prefer Jensen to start. Maybe just a this week thing to ease him in.

Feel like if Hetherington doesn't make really good metres in his stint 'Miss Secret of The Desert' (Talty) will get his spot next week.

Definitely harsh to drop Mariner

 

[Bronx48]

Very interesting how Madge has been responding with Mariner. He doesn’t seem sold on him unless there’s injuries.

I must say that is a pretty solid squad that can cause some pain (when they want to!!)

Thankgod it’s a Friday night game, I never want to watch another Sunday afternoon game.

If they come to play and ready to go, they should crush the Eels

Todd Smith crapshoot incoming.

To be fair, what ref isn't a spud currently?

Watched the boys at training yesterday. Payne looks ready, Broncos to win.

Damn. Dude is fast for a big guy.

Or our other players (Hunt and Jensen?) are slow...

 

[Ondi]

He flew, it was like watching Michael Johnson.

He is so smooth and effortless

Payne has always been fast .
Quickest in some short sprints a few years back .

Don’t tell me the video reff is Chris ****ing Butler OR Casey Badger.

Worse... it's Ashley ****ing Klown

Worse... it's Ashley ****ing Klown

Basically, we would get ****ed by Vlando’s rules unless we come out flying from opening minute.

Sometimes when a coach appears to be on the way out players may not be willing to give everything in matches and risk themselves to fututureproof their situation. Clearly Fifita isn't happy with Des' decisions about where he plays. It could also be internal lack of motivation or commitment. In saying that, I haven't seen a whole lot of development in Fifita's game since he was at the broncos. That is on the coaching at the titans since his time there. He should have progressed to a solid first grader in effort and basics to pair the origin and australian quality talent he clearly has.

He has been injured a lot .
And even though the Titans medics said he was good to go after ankle surgery . He declared himself not ready .
Some thing is not right there .

For the first time since his PCL was cooked Reece was running freely without any knee tape. At least from what I've seen
