PRE-GAME [THE BIG DANCE] BRISBANE BRONCOS Vs PENRITH PANTHERS - 2023 NRL GRAND FINAL

[GCBRONCO]

To counter that Hindmarsh is a terrible tipster

And to counter that Gould is tipping Panthers by 20

 

[McHunt]

Seeing all the cringey articles come out about Walsh with headlines like “in major trouble” and “could miss the grand final”. Seriously NSW is that the best you’ve got??

Patty on his BFF Nathan:

“He’s just an awesome dude, everyone knows what he can do as a footy player, but he’s just a good person as well. We hit it off. Penrith and Nathan are a really good success story at the moment, but we’re on our own journey at the Broncos, and I guarantee you on Sunday when that whistle is blown, it will be on.”​

Nathan on his BFF Patty:

“There were a lot of great memories, but we’ll be looking to create memories of our own on Sunday. A lot of guys had families in camp and were going home or on their own trips, so we decided to go travelling together. We were barely recognised wherever he went. Even when we were in Manchester for the Cup, not many people recognised us. This time last year we didn’t really know each other. He’s one of my mates now. Last year was a last-minute thing, so who knows, we’ll see what happens again this year.”​

‘He’s an awesome dude’: How star Panther and Bronco struck up an unlikely friendship

Nathan Cleary and Pat Carrigan became good mates travelling around Europe after last year’s World Cup. But come Sunday, that friendship will be on hold for 80 minutes.

Curious to see the link where it says he could miss the grand final? Most of the articles I have read have just said no big deal but he should know better than to retaliate…all seemed pretty fair.

If any Broncos fans in the Bondi area tonight keen for a beer to calm the nerves before tomorrow, let me know

Here’s one of them - there’s no actual substance to the article over what’s already been reported.

NRL star facing possible ban from Grand Final as a result of interaction with fan - League Initiative

Promising NRL contender Reece Walsh seems to be in significant trouble stemming from an altercation with a fan at the NRL's Fan Fest at Circular Quay.

Most important things for mine tomorrow is while containing Yeo's passing game would be nice if we can keep our mistake rate down and our completion rate above 80% and Staggs not sprinting up in defence when defending on our line and exposing Cobbo we are in with a chance.

It is laughable. Teddy got a fine for blatant racism, and Taylan May got to serve his ban after the season for assaulting someone with their back turned.

Walshy with the your mumma joke and Sydney collapses.

 

[Reds2011]

Had to laugh at this bit in a SMH article about Mam.

"Walshy is the most popular. Pretty Riki [Jordan Riki] is also popular, as is ‘Jesus’, who is better known as Pat Carrigan. I love these boys. A win on Sunday would mean everything.

“And, yes, I’m sure, I’ll find a space for another tatt.”

In fairness, if we don’t defend well and cede errors, resets in our 20 that’s possible.
We can all get a bit carried away, but let’s first and foremost respect the panthers for what they’ve done. 4th consecutive GF is incredible.

Then we need to match them in the battle, then take our opportunities when they come. We can definitely win this too but we do need to have as good a game as we’ve played.

Enjoy mate, at least you won't be getting stuck into the KFC like FatPete to cope with the loss

@Big Pete ...is this a dig at you?

Firstly Gould said we can't win because of our defence, we have proven that otherwise this season. He then went on to say we are too inexperienced, ignoring the fact we have players who have been there before and rep players as well. Getting carried away is a two way street, success can also lead to complacency and underestimating your opponents doesn't help either. I don't underestimate the Panthers, I expect a tough affair, but that goes both ways.

Both games this season between two sides have been much closer affairs then 20 point margin than Gould is suggesting, even the 15-4 win to the Panthers in the second match was only 8-0 at halftime.

The same doofus said the cowgirls had chance to be in the top 8

I'm gutted to say the least but it looks as though I'll miss part of the first half.
I'm currently at work which is an offshore facility.

It just so happens we have a muster for exercise planned around then which means getting into lifeboats etc.
FFS!

Surely no individual is that sad they're still moping about a post all these weeks later.

Play on, we've got a game to look forward to!

 

[Wolfie]

So old Gus reckons JFH wont be worried about taking on Payno. Haas wont be worried about their forwards either. The media like to call Payne an enforcer, which he just isnt. He's never been the type of forward to make a point of taking on the opposition individually so i dont really get why they are going with that narrative. He just goes and does his job every week.

Well I don't want to deal with a double disappointment weekend - bring it home Broncs!
