PRE-GAME [Round 27, 2023] Broncos vs Storm

[Bish]

I reckon whatever team we put out, will be good enough to see the job done, secure 2 points and confirm the mighty Brisbane Broncos as minor premiership winners.

Sadly being on the other side of the planet I can’t get down to the Suncorp to cheer those blokes on…. If you can…. Do it.

Let’s smash those grubby grub grubbly grubbers. Bunch of sooks lol

 

[Big Del]

If Capewells out probably have Riki as captain maybe? Would love to see Oatesy given the honour but can't really captain a side from the wing.

Did Billy Captain last week ?
I remember him talking to the ref about a Captains challenge . Didn`t see Capewell involved ?

 

[Bronco bob]

The team I think Kevie will/should pick

1. Sailor
2. Oates
3. Arthars
4. Mariner
5. Periera
6. Rogers
7. Madden
8. Flegler
9. Smoothy
10. Jenson
11. Pikura
12. Riki
13. Palasia
14. Mozer
15. Tapau
16. Willison

I hope everyone has their $20 for @tommy.

The Souths vs Wynnum game is gonna be pretty dire if we steal half their players.

I’d be pretty dirty if I was either coach, although Karmichael might be fine with it seeing as it’s for Brisbane

I wouldn't deny a young bloke a chance at winning an NRL minor prem. It is part and parcel of running a feeder team. Might sting, but wouldn't begrudge a kid that.

Yeah I get that, could just be a bit of unspoken tension if it costs a QCup team a chance at going through.

Those guys (players and coaches) still have their own aspirations. I might be making more of it than what is there, just an unfortunate circumstance I guess

He already lost that bet.

Capewell named captain over Billy 3 times this season.

The good thing is they are playing each other. The potentially broncos team seems to have them equally depleted of their regulars.

@1910 will know more than me but I remember Matt Gillett refusing to debut for the broncos because he didn’t want to miss his colts final or something? I can’t remember if he was forced to play , but he didn’t want to desert his mates he’d worked hard with all year

Reynolds: Despite My Absence The Team Continues To Step Up

Broncos Captain Adam Reynolds is proud of the depth within his team and is eager to see their performance in the final round against the Storm.

Yeah he started the year with Wests and then got picked up by the Broncos and played seven games. It got to finals time with the Broncos and he said can I go back and play for Wests please?

Won a Grand FInal with Wests. Then 2009 played Cup for Norths.

DCE and Jack reed were in that colts team too weren’t they? Gun side.

Not Reed, but DCE was Colt of the year.

Reed was at Souths.

What a weird week of gamesmanship. Are we going to effectively throw this game in the hope the Panthers roll the Cowboys, then the Storm, thus we won't have to face our nemesis again?

Or are we hoping to beat the Storm two weeks running?

Meanwhile the Storm will be without Hughes, and are reportedly (Brent Read) resting Munster, Grant and Meaney.

I honestly think our B squad beats the storms B squad 9 out of 10 games anyway.

I doubt it has anything to do with considering who we may or may not match up against in the finals, and everything to do with resting players and getting to the finals unscathed.

It's hardly throwing the match on Thursday either. Storm are going to be doing the same thing and we have a lot of first grade experience in our reserves.
