Turn off your wi-fi and go through the steps and as said above, it will automatically detect your account and give you a free pass.

We haven't had a sold out game for awhile.

Not since that preliminary final against the Roosters.

They said Round 4 2016 was sold out but I don't buy it..

Broncos v Titans: Sims to start, Cartwright benched

March 27, 2018

Maybe they had a bit of luck in golden point, but the Brisbane Broncos made it two from three with last week's 9-7 defeat of the Tigers. Belted by the Dragons in round one, Brisbane now have their defence in order. There are concerns for their side, however, with both Corey Oates (hip) and Tevita Pangai Jr. (hamstring) facing at least a week on the sidelines.

The Gold Coast Titans were abysmal in last Sunday's 54-8 trouncing from the Dragons but, aside from a 54-0 drubbing in round 22 last year, have a knack for rising to the occasion against their Queensland rivals.

Brisbane Broncos v Gold Coast Titans, 6.30pm (7.30pm AEDT) Sunday at Suncorp Stadium

The key match-up: The battle in the centres between Broncos flyer James Roberts and Titans powerhouse Konrad Hurrell is a classic contrast of speed versus strength. If the Titans re-produce the same sloppy defensive effort that led to the thrashing from the Dragons, Roberts could have a day out.

For the Broncos to win: First and foremost they can't just show up expecting the Titans to roll over. If Brisbanedefend as strongly as they have in their past two wins, they should have toomuch attacking firepower.

For the Titans to win: It all starts with attitude and self-belief that they aren't as bad as last week's horror show suggests. Atonement will be a strong motivating factor but will only get them so far if they don't put in a serious 80-minute effort against their big-city rivals.

Broncos stat attack: In 25 meetings with the Titans, the Broncos have won 18, lost five and drawn twice. They have out-scored Gold Coast 606 to 351 in those clashes.

Titans stat attack: The Titans have scored 46 points in three games to Brisbane's 45 in 2018, but their 102 points conceded is the worst in the competition.

And another thing: Look for Titans halfback Ash Taylor to have a big game against his former club after his ineffectual performance against the Dragons.

This game will be a good barometer of where we are at after one good win and two dodgy away performances: A home game that we should on paper win.

I do have faith in our boys but I've just got a bad feeling about this one

 

[Brett]

Is this game not on Channel 9 ffs?

I don't think anyone is saying that they would have not taken up the Titans' offer, but I get the analogy that it's a shortcut.

He definitely hasn't had to "earn" his $1 million a season like most other big-dollar players have. He hasn't spent years in first grade honing his craft, developing, maturing, and proving he can play to an elite standard, at the highest level, consistently (true, neither has Milford, at least on that latter part). His contract was the product of hype, coupled with the Titans' determination to sign him on a whatever-it-takes basis in order to keep him away from the Broncos.

Shortcut or not, he's achieved his goal. Assuming his goal was to get a big fat contract. Considering how arrogant he's coming across, that may well be the case. Because if he thinks he's "made it" in any other way, he's deluded.

Maybe Ash is Moses Suli MK 2?

Man the Live Pass footage is terrible. It’s in a tiny box inside a black square. It’s like 5” even on the iPad. Sigh.

I'm trudging up to the nearest waterhole.

Yep the live pass screen box is terrible. Makes my 50" tv look like a 27" when zoomed in to make the image larger

I heard that the NRL or Fox or whoever blocked sharing between devices, but I can't confirm. Live Pass is so fucking terrible either way.
