SPOILER The dynasty begins: The Brisbane Broncos are winning the 2024 NRL Premiership

A positive about these injuries is it improves our depth through pure nrl exposure so that will help with origin.
Walsh, haas and carrigan are our only guarantees.
Staggs and mam might sneak in with 2 x injuries in their positions but otherwise they have people in front of them.
Sailor for Walsh obviously. Willison and hethrington taking carrigan and haas starting spots. Then over the next few weeks we figure out the bench favourites but at least they'll have a few runs on the noard on top of a point to prove. Tapau and baker aren't starters but they are very handy reserves to have during that period and 1 or both will get a run.

We are in an amazing position where we have two monsters needing blooding, both of which are too young to play a full season so we can rotate them maybe 3 games NRL, 3 games QCup, until finals time and we just open the gates and unleash them both to tear every other pack apart.

Isn't Willison 21? I reckon it's time for him to handle more NRL. Payne was pretty young when he was playing plenty of minutes.

Payne didn't also spend plenty of time on the sidelines injured

The Rock is V'landys, NSWRL is the Boodline, and some journo can be Heyman?

No Journo deserves to be compared to the Wise Man

Another Dolphins smashing. Grabbing those wins with our injuries will pay off later in the year (no matter how we get them).

 

[Mustafur]

We are clearly still a top 4 team, arguably top 2, injuries are bad and our draw was terrible while that happened, but it gets better now.

 

[Santa]

Back-to-back wins! And back in the top 8!

Second best for and against in the league and sitting level second if you go by how many wins.
With the bye sitting 6th.

 

[Finbar]

We're still primed for a top 2 finish. I was having a look at our draw and we only have 6 matches to play against teams above us on the ladder: Roosters, Sea Eagles, Sharks, Panthers, Dolphins, Storm.

Compared to 11 matches against the bottom 9: Tigers, Eels x 2, Titans x 2, Rabbitohs, Warriors, Dragons, Knights, Bulldogs, Cowboys.

Yea those first 5 weeks were always going to be the hardest. Our depth players are really stepping up this year too.

 

[Santa]

Another win and (temporarily) back into the top 4!

 

[Johnny92]

I can't wait for this team to play a full 80 at full strength.
As Benji said in the presser we're the best team in the comp.

Playing nowhere near our best with different players out every week...and blowing teams off the park. Every single team would be shaking when they see us up next right now.

Totally agree, the only team that's going to beat us this year is ourselves and that's fact

 

[Santa]

Yea its tough to be positive after that game - but we didn't concede 50!

Also the last time we beat the Roosters twice in the regular season, they won the first of their back to back premierships. So by the Roosters beating us twice is actually a good thing!
