PRE-GAME [Round 6, 2026] - Broncos vs Cowboys

[McHunt]

Baby Broncos (spine) time!

Hopefully Mam picks his moments and isn't erratic and/or wasteful with the ball. Remember that second half against the Bulldogs during Origin last year that he was like 'nauurrrr, we aren't losing' and just absolutely demolished them? Kicked to corners, set up three. Just do that, pls.

Nanai is touch and go, but they will be missing Burns and Mcintyre. If they play Derby, just torp him and Bongwater to death

The next month is all about Ezra.

Almost like things are so bad in the spine the pressure is off the replacements a bit.

 

[BroncsFan]

This is good news. It give Duffy clarity to help him prepare. The team knows what it needs to do and can achieve it with the right attitude to defense.

Will be funny/interesting if Duffy kills it given Pezet hasn't exactly been setting the world on fire at parra... and his defence is ****ing woeful

I was out of Internets range so I had to listen to the game on the radio, but I could have sworn I heard at one point they said that Piakura was wobbly from a head knock and would need to come off. That never happened?

Tipping Broncos 26 - 12

Might as well sweep all the QLD teams by the same scoreline

I don't recall him getting a head knock at all.

It happened after Hunt threw the forward pass to Talty. Play 4, Titans play out the back to Campbell and Mam looked to have rattled Piakura with his impact in the tackle.

Surprised he didn't come off for an HIA. Then again he looked more gassed than anything. Was less than 4 to go in the half and he just made two tackles prior so may have stayed down to avoid the ruck.

Thank ****. He didn't need another bloody head knock.

Just before half time, about four minutes to go Campbell runs the ball and Ezra and Piakura make the tackle. Unsure if head clash with Mam or hits Campbell's shoulder but Piakura stays on all fours after the play the ball and is slow getting back. Titans kick it and by the third tackle he's back in position. But when Brisbane put the kick up he's chasing the kick down his side like he's a bit sleepy.

 

[Sproj]

There were a few who mentioned it live and I think most of us were surprised he didn't go off for a HIA.

Can't get around naming Reynolds. He won't get through the game.

 

[the_next]

Pointless naming Reyno, everyone knows he’s not suiting up. Not sure why Madge would even bother.
Let’s hope Mozer finally gets a decent shot and plays more than 10mins.
Boys will need to dig deep, we are wounded but I think it’s fair to say we perform best when our backs are against the wall.

Will just be to take the spotlight off duffy.

 

[beaseagull]

Time to get over your ego Adam

 

[Bronx48]

ARey is gone next year so you would think they would use this time to work how it would be without him. He isn’t 100% even on his best day, so why play him when he’s obviously injured. No point naming him at all.

Last time he was named on the bench Paix played 80 and Madge only used 2 off the bench

 

[McHunt]

If Reynolds plays, when he inevitably goes down, Madge will waste an interchange bringing Duffy off the bench. Paix will play 80, and Mozer will play bridesmaid again.
