PRE-GAME [Round 25, 2022] Broncos vs Dragons

[vertigo]

A net -109 from our last 5 games. It would have been really handy to either win one or two of those games we lost or to have had two close losses and both of the blowouts cut right back.

Yes. Even losing to the storm by 40 odd as usual instead of fucking 60 would have helped.

 

[vertigo]

Well even if we somehow make the finals we will be out the first week and probably get 50+ put on us now that Melbourne are in 5th.

I'm hoping we make it now.

Another easy collect

I reckon @Big Pete is probably better suited to the coaches box...

This kinda reminds me of the last round of 2018 when I think we were relying on other results and then needed to win by 23 at home vs Manly to ensure a home semi the following week. We started well but the F/A was touch and go for a bit until we ran away with it 48-16, Gary scored 4 and almost had 5. And so we locked in that home semi which I have absolutely zero memory of whatsoever so no need to even go any further with this line of thinking really.

piakura added to the 17... no sign of riki at training... jensen out with covid

The way I see it, we’d beat the dragons and then go undefeated to take out the premiership. Unfortunately the tigers lose to the raiders though.

Yeah same. I remember going to suncorp but after that it's a blank.

riki is out with conjunctivitis

that is one average bench

 

[Accept]

that is one average bench

It is but on paper, it doesn't look a bad side overall. But many are out of form/checked out for the season. I'm expecting a competitive match which could go either way.

hmmm, not sure how I feel about the fact that we are playing with a team where at least 5 players won't be with the club next season...including 3 out of 4 spine members?!

I refer to a previous comment, it has taken a weird round about way to get there but we've got there in the end with Piakura. Now, if only we can somehow get Paix into the team as well.

 

[Mr Fourex]

Do you think Kev knew about what Gamble said before that shit come out today?

Reading reports that ARey has contacted Gamble with a "WTF mate?".....

Tyson been given a collective group slap apparently......

I mean you do realise the Piakura will probably get 5mins on the field at the end of the game... that or Kevvie will get confused seeing the 17 jersey on the field and immediately hook Hosking from the field
