Going to miss this game because i have a trial match for football (soccer). [icon_frown

I don't have IQ, so hooray for the wonders of VHS!!! [icon_lol1.

Any word on how Palmer Wapau is going?

Pretty sure he's been out injured and I'm also pretty sure BroncoMatt will be able to give you more information than me.

Oh how times have changed..

DeVere would be a certain starter this week if Bennett was still in charge.. Love how Henjak is throwing rookies in the deep end, absolutely love it!

Agreed. It's good to see the young guys get a chance.

Sadly, Vatuvei is out for us this week. Aiden Kirk comes in for him. So you get a small white guy instead of a huge Tongan guy.
We've been playing with 3 props on the field lately so definitely no lack of size out there! Can't wait, Broncos vs Warriors games always rule. Us by 16 thanks to some Jones magic :P

lol 16 might be a bit much mate [icon_lol1. I think you blokes will win by a closer margin. 6-8 probably

I think 16 myself. Broncos attack has looked a bit shaky. Warriors could make it very difficult to score points. Plus the Warriors' attack with big men, if they're close to the line I think the Broncos will crack.

That's not negativity, that's just my assessment of how the team looks at the moment. I almost think a loss is needed to really highlight the areas that need work.

 

[Jeba]

Nah, we'll get the win.

The Courier Mail has a few players withdrawing due to injury [icon_frown

The Broncos leave for Auckland today with forwards Nick Kenny (hamstring), Lagi Setu (sternum) and centre Michael De Vere (hamstring) ruled out. Forwards Ashton Sims and Josh McGuire come into the squad after a stint in the Queensland Cup with McGuire scoring four tries in two matches for Norths.

Looking on the bright side of those injuries it does leave us with a bigger bench which will help against the Warriors.

Hopefully Sims will be raring to go. It'll be a tough debut for McGuire though but fingers crossed Henjak doesn't do a Bennett and leave him on the bench until the last 10 minutes.

Just put the bomb up to Tate [icon_shady and put pressure on him as he's going to "catch" a pass. I hear he caught a ball once playing for us, I didn't see it so I can't say if that's true or just a rumour....

Devere, Setu and Kenny ruled out of Warriors clash. Mcguire and Sims into squad. Im glad Devere isnt playing but Kenny is a big loss I think, especially agaimnst the Warriors.

 

[mrslong]

Woohoo McGuire is great!

McGuire's a Rock Star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
