PRE-GAME [Round 26, 2023] Broncos vs Raiders

[Fozz]

Staff obviously seeing the risk of backing up from a Saturday game to Thursday.

Is it a legit calf strain or is it a "calf strain"?

Many on here have been calling for him to sit out given last year's debacle against these grubby *****. Perhaps it's precautionary, he seemed in great condition last weekend.

I'm worried about what Ezra's carrying though. I think we could still win against the Raiders with Madden/Sailor if he needs a rest, but Storm...not a chance. We need all guns firing to blow them away.

They had a high intensity training session and Reynolds didn't come out of it well so I would say it's legit.

I understand the practicality of a rest week etc etc….but can I just say…. BYE WEEKS SUCK BALLS. That is all.

 

[winslow_wong]

I wonder if it’s one of those “injuries” but really it’s just a respectful way of resting him. No need for him to travel down there and get potentially cheap shotted

 

[Battler]

Smart move not risking him in freezing conditions against a pack of grubs. We’ll win regardless

 

[Jedhead]

Getting Reyno targeted against the Raiders was a major concern for me I have to be honest. Their coach is an ex-halfback and knows the importance of nullifying their threat. It was no coincidence that Young made it a personal mission to 'negate' Reyno.

I have no doubt it would be the same tactics from Sticky if we played him as they are still a slim chance of a top 4 spot.

All we have to do now is keep NAS away from him in the last game and we'll be right for the finals.

I don't mind this at all really. The more game time we can give Jock here and there, the better for his development. I was impressed with his last game, and let's face it, if something happens to Reyno, he is who we have to depend upon.

 

[Foordy]

Badel's sensationalism immediately kicks into gear with the ARey injury ... saying:

However the loss of Reynolds would be a crushing blow if he is unavailable for any of the play-offs matches.

 

[Johnny92]

Reyno missing this game sucks but better not to risk it even if it is minor and it could come good before the game.
Be good to see how Jock goes with a full weeks preparation in the 7.

Jesus fucking christ. They really do create their own reality with their bullshit, don't they.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Going by the Fox commentary brigade it's doomsday

 

[Organix]

They said Wighton is also out

**** the minor premiership, the Pennies are doing us a massive favor by keeping us in 2nd. I'd much rather get the Warriors week 1 than either Cronulla or Melbourne in back to back weeks.

Melbourne won't have given up on 3rd place just yet.

Any slip up from warriors and they'll be into 2nd.

Could come down to us beating storm in Rd 27 to prevent them finishing 3rd and forcing them to penrith in week 1

I personally wouldn't mind facing the Sharks first up in the finals ... they're flat track bullies, it would almost certainly guarantee us a path to week 3

How on earth are the Sharks a chance to finish in the top four? Have they beaten any team in the top 8?

 

[Foordy]

because they're flat track bullies who have had a pretty easy draw.

they've played plenty of games against last years bottom 8, plus games against teams who have failed badly this year like the Eels and Roosters
