Round 9 - Eels vs. Broncos - Pre-Match Discussion

[Nashy]

Broncos will look the goods up until half time. Then they will forget what attack is, and keep passing it to forwards who will run directly into on side markers for 40 minutes.

 

[Son Edo]

If a full strength Broncos outfit couldn't put a big score on a reserve grade Tigers outfit who were down to 12 men at the end of the game, then they won't put a big score on anyone.

We'll win by like 8 or something.

 

[noisetheory]

sandow will have the game of his life though and embarrass us.

 

[Charmamba]

It wouldn't shock me if the eels did win, they are great against us normally.

 

[noisetheory]

it wouldnt shock me but i would be MAD

we need a GOOD win this week. not a win like against the tigers.

you know the eels will get up for this one tho

 

[Son Edo]

They'll probably beat us at suncorp.

Interestingly they haven't beaten us at Parramatta in 4 years.

Well, at least it will be 40-0 our way at half time

 

[vertigo]

We'll win by a field goal in extra time.

 

[Foordy]

I hate to sound like a doomsdayer but i've got a bad feeling about this game.

The Eels haven't played too bad lately and have improved a lot from the start of the year.

We'll need to really play well to beat them down there .... no taking the foot off the pedal at all for the full 80 minutes.

I really hope to see some better attacking moves this week, although i know this won't happen.

If we win, it'll be by 6 or less IMO.

What you mean like 2 weeks ago when they were hammered by a very poor Panthers side

No, i mean like last week when they were just pipped by the Cowboys.

The Eels were very unlucky not to win that game.

 

[tkday]

Shut your mouth, Broncos will win this after the loss last week. I'm expecting to see McGuire have a good game, he will give us a good platform to work from.

 

[jarro65]

I'm hoping we come out and blow them away !!!

It's time for us to put in a really dominant performance.

 

[vertigo]

Anyone read the article about McGuire?

Poor bloke only has 30% vision in his busted eye with a cataract certain to come.

 

[nostradamus]

Broncos 12+ as long as we dont give stupid penalties away like we have in the last 2 games. BBF from Hannant we need him to bend the line.

Yeah, not sure how he will play with only one eye later on in his career. I suppose people adapt and become used to it.

 

[Broncoman]

The Eels have played some encouraging footy this year and I think they are making some steps forward. I'm expecting us to win but I wouldn't get the shock of my life if Parramatta pulled of an upset. I remember the last time Parra beat us down there, we were coming back and looking the goods and Jarryd Hayne stepped up and ran us of the field.

 

[Son Edo]

2009 Hayne the one hit wonder.

The refs seem to manage most weeks
