It might even be advantageous for us to just throw this game. If we finish 7th, we fall on Melbourne's side of the draw. Finish 8th and we don't play them until the GF, and also means we may get Manly in W1 then Souths in W2.
What would we honestly prefer, a prelim in Melbourne or a prelim in Sydney or Canberra?

I hear what you say matey, but it's not and never has been the Bronco way of playing footy. There are some moves (like coming in and creating a fuss when your team mate has been fouled in order to stop play and get the play reviewed in the hope of getting a deserved penalty) that make sense but we never seem to do them. Then there is something as crooked as what you are suggesting. Some clubs probably do it but I hope to goodness we would never go down that path.
We're building at a great rate of knotts and soon enough we'll be steamrolling Melbourne and the rest to win the GF while playing teh Broncos way.

I'd rather face Melbourne before the GF. Better to get beat by 30 in a prelim than on the big day and never forget it.

Exactly what happened in 17

I don't care who we would end up playing in a prelim final because after the season we've had it would be a massive achievement to get there.

I just remember most of turpins kicks went straight to the fullback. I’m not saying Sullivan’s kicks are better more so they are on par but Sullivan is just a better half back and should be getting picked based on the fact he’s an actual half.

Remember how happy we were last year to fall on the “soft” side of the draw (vs the Dragons). Just need to win and play every game like it’s our last.

If we had of been given the Warriors like I thought was going to eventuate I think we would have made it to week 2. St George were always more likely to knock us off in a sudden death game then the mentally fragile warriors

If you were at the games SOS directed Fifita into position for two of his try’s. May not have got the try assist but definitely helped

We’ll see how Melbourne contend with losing the best player of all time. We all know Bellamy’s record without him.

You've been saying this every since they lost Inglis, then Cronk, then Slater. They will continue to contend long after Smitty departs.

A man can dream. I still think Smith is in a different tier to the others. Only time will tell, but I don’t want to imagine Melbourne wrestling their way to top 2 finishes even without Smith around. God help the nrl if it continues.
