Anderson and Hunt have a trip to PNG today and tough game tomorrow- PNG should play home games on a Saturday not Sunday afternoon. It will be hard to back up Friday night against Storm. If they're the only two possible changes.

Duffy gets a home game but has Coster making him make 34 tackles and whacking him after he's kicked 14 times.

Mozer has the challenge of his former team but coming off the bench again. If Burt's interchange stays the same, it's really hard to have an impact on games 13 minutes in the first half and 19 in the second half. Teague got their player's player so no reason to think it's going to change.

Seems like he'll definitely be playing. Looks fine on the uncomfortable fox league panel stools in Sydney and he's wearing a horrifically tight suit

Maybe he's been needled up for this but if he had any damage he wouldn't be able to sit there

You wouldn't play Reynolds. AAMI Park is an injury graveyard for him.

Anderson and Hunt have both been pulled from cup. Allen still can't get a spot on the bench.

I do not know what to make of that. Is CM trying to get some clicks of a random talk from Cobbo or is there something brewing 🤷‍♂️

Cobbo is clearly lying ...

didn't you know, Madge has lost the dressing room, he trains his players too hard. Hell, the club is in crisis because of Madge
 
Storm absentees from their grand final starting side:
Papi
Katoa
Blore
Coates
Loeiro

I understand we have looked underdone to start the year but honestly we aim up and we will get our season up and running.

We can own these f**ks!
 
Tuned into the St Merge and Melbourne game with 20 mins to go and saw Dragons leading and thought 'yeah that would be right, Storm get shown up by Gutherson and co. and Bellamy rips into them to bounce back in a big way next week'

Then Storm took the lead and I felt better.

Then they scored another 6 tries in about 3 minutes.

And then I felt much, much worse.

Don’t forget we’re playing at our graveyard too. It wouldn’t matter if we were the form team of the comp, something bad is bound to happen.
 
Madge gave the team a 3 day break after Thursday nights game. they're back at training on Monday.

cue the "Madge is too soft" articles this week, lol.

He reportedly got the team together in a corner of the dressing room on after Thursdays match and told them to "be smarter"

Corey Paix said:

“Madge kept it pretty short,”

“He sat us down in a circle and we spoke among ourselves on what we need to do to fix it.

“He said, ‘Just be smarter, be a smarter footballer, play the long game’.

“We’re not prepared to play the long game at the moment.”

“We played dumb really,” Paix said.

“We weren’t resilient enough once it got a bit tough for us. There were a few soft tries that weren’t good enough.

“To be honest, it’s not up to Broncos standard.

“We have to turn it around really quick. Teams are prepared to take us to the deep end but we’re not prepared to do it back to them.

“To concede 40 points isn’t good enough, that’s the disappointing part.

“We need a good hard look in the mirror.”



Brisbane’s desire has come under fire but Paix rubbished suggestions Broncos players have lost their edge in the quest for back-to-back premierships.

“For me personally, yes I’m hungry,” he said.

“We have the team here, but we have to be right in the head mentally.

“We need to be hungrier. That’s the word. We need to go there and take it to Melbourne.

“We’ll get three days off, then we will be back at work on Monday and get back on the horse. We need to fix our attitude up.

“We’re 0-2 at the moment. No-one can be complacent.”
