PRE-GAME [Round 6, 2023] Broncos vs Raiders

[Allo]

Just hope for no cheap shots on Reyno

Glad Wighton isn't playing. He's good for them along with Young

 

[McHunt]

If we keep trying to score off every play and not respecting possession or building pressure then we are going to come up against a team who makes us pay for it. Canberra will not be that team. Broncos 30+

The irony of that is I think we are the team you don't want to do that against. We're the team - especially with Oates - who are most likely to punish you with intercepts and length of the field tries.

 

[Jason Simmons]

Raiders will probably come out hard after getting smashed by Penrith, but it won't matter.

Broncos: 342 - Raiders: 2

We’re not going to take the 1?

343-2.

 

[Swordfish]

This is the game we should bash that grub Hudson Young & to some extent Fogarty. Those 2 inflicted so much pain to Adam last season. It’s payback time.

Speaking of Adam, he’s not only the one steering the group but the way he’s defending by putting his body on the line, is truly phenomenal. This is danger game where those grubby Raider fuckheads will try to attack Adam at every opportunity. Hope Kev & team hatches a plan to negate all the nonsense from Raider’s.

Yeah that's what I'm and many others are worrying about. We're probably the healthiest team in the comp at the moment with only really Oates being out. Many other sides are decimated currently.
Can all change very quickly.

We've finally found our number 9:

It's an interesting contrast to last year, they were super conservative in attack and when they hit the wall at the end they couldn't defend or score enough points. Brisbane put a high price on holding onto the ball as if that makes you score points. Dogs did the same thing.

They've gone from 4th to 10th with completion but doing much more with it.

It's not all Reynolds either, he is touching the ball slightly more than last year but still not top 30 for NRL he is just running the control.

Brisbane focus on streaming through the middle, short passes and offloads to a guy in a better position than you. It's a little bit of contract football.

 

[BroncsFan]

confident we'll smash these *****, total pretenders this year.

Yeah they're lacking any real fire power at the moment.

Savage is due back soon, but he will have absolute nightmares under Reyno's kicking if this is his return game.

I can see them really grubbing it up to try and drag us down to their level though.

They're a pack of cheap shot merchants

Someone should emphasise “better position than you” to Marty.

 

[Foordy]

The only change I'd make is Hethrington for Palasia.

Hopefully, Kevvie makes that change ... but he may be reluctant to change a winning team.

Would be pretty hard to argue against Palasia being dropped.

 

[Big Del]

To think we still have Oatesy and Kobe to come back in. Good signs.

I think Corey Oates is gonna have a battle to get back to 1sts to tell the truth .
Arthurs is a gun . I wouldn`t just hand him back his jersey . Q Cup and score a bunch of tries I might consider him .

Fif - ty ! , fif -ty !, fif -ty !
Make Sticky blame it on the ref . Again .

Goates is a 10 year veteran. He'll be automatic selection when fit.

I hear yah .
Dunno if it will happen though . Arthurs is an upgrade IMO .

 

[Broncapz]

I havent' felt this confident going into a game since Lockyer wore a boot. We're back baby!

 

[Sproj]

My opinion is the opposite. Oates is a genuine gun who does things Arthars can't. This is no slight on Arthars either, our backline is amazing this year but Oates as mentioned is an origin player and 10 year veteran, no chance he isn't replacing Arthars and rightly so.

 

[Big Del]

I saw Oates in the sheds after the game .
Nothing personal against Oates . I just think Arthurs form atm doesn`t deserve to be dropped .

Re Oates The knock ons and dropped bombs don`t balance out his metres gained for me .
I think Arthurs would score more tries given the same opportunities .
