PRE-GAME Round 3 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Jedhead]

Nice to see the backs doing one for the forwards. Now if we can just get both backs and forwards playing for each other on Friday night we might have a chance of a huge upset.

Watching the Roosters game it was pleasing to see that even a team of experienced, well drilled players can panic and go to mush when the pressure is put on them With this 6 again shit. If we can keep our discipline and errors to a minimum there is a chance we could do the same to the storm.

The Brisbane Broncos’ outside backs together racked up an incredible 1,025 running metres in the win over the Bulldogs. Coach Kevin Walters’ instructions to his wingers Xavier Coates and David Mead, centres Herbie Farnworth and Tesi Niu, and fullback Jamayne Isaako were to help take some of the load off their forwards on a hot afternoon at Suncorp Stadium. And they responded in kind. Normally anything in excess of 100 meters run is a good day’s work, but the five Brisbane outside backs averaged in excess of 200 meters each from 87 runs between them, led by Farnworth with a game-high 269 running meters and three line breaks.

Winger David Mead, who racked up 208 run metres for the afternoon, explained:

“That was the game plan, to get our hands on the ball as much as we can and help the middle (forwards) out. It was a hot afternoon so we were just trying to get out there and help the boys as much as we could. It feels really good to get the win especially after the last two games where we didn’t compete the way that we wanted to. It was end-to-end footy there at some stages with a few errors thrown in But both teams fought really hard and it was just good to come up with the win and keep the opposition to zero.”
