**** these guys. They're probably still scarred from the last smashing we gave them.

Broncos 26 - Storm 0

Note: hopefully the curse if our 2024 away jersey ends.

I hope it’s another one of those games where Bellamy has his head in his hands with a couple of trampled chairs.

If Walsh, Piakura and Haas were playing, I would be more confident than I've ever been coming up against these *****.

But we won't have them, while they get Munster and Hughes both back. Sometimes life is a bitch, but it is what it is. Thanks to tonight's win, I won't be anywhere near as upset about it as I would have been otherwise.

I’m confident. Melbourne haven’t looked too great this year, especially in d.

 

[Wolfie]

Keep the same 17. Broncos by 38.

This is the post I hope I am 100% wrong on….
Does Cobbo give anyone else Latrell vibes? He went from an “Inglis” clone to being a Mitchell doppelgänger….

Yeah the big fella looking really comfortable out there and not in a good way. Probably isn’t too far off being sent back to Q Cup to lose weight imo. Had a great game recently but has obviously lost pace.

Outside of their Round 1 masterclass, they've looked very beatable.

On a similar note, how long can we squander Mariner’s talents out on the wing? He looks more of a centre than Selwyn. Not that Selwyn doesn’t have other attributes: not too many other players - other than Oates - would’ve taken that intercept.

Assuming you’re talking about his physique here, do you remember when GI came into a season looking borderline obese? I dare say he was fatter than even current LM at the time. Cobbo has a few kgs to gain before he tips LM or fat-period GI on the scales.

Cobbo was great round 1, phenomenal round 2 and at fullback round 3. Come on, we just smashed the comp leaders, he'll be fine.

I'm actually going into live game mode next week with some hope but still expecting to lose.

Yeah cobbo looked as though his errors were getting him cranky which is a good thing. He will be better for a shit performance tonight. He's been outstanding all season really if we look at it overall.

the boys will be into him over the Tommy dearest chase down. Hopefully it gets him motivated for some extra fitness and sprint training.

Hasn't he lost some pace... I guess I kind of like that he's a bit bigger as a centre. He's defending well so that's what's important too
