PRE-GAME [Finals Week 1, 2023] - Broncos v Storm

[Foordy]

I just listened to yesterday’s bloke podcast with the guru and it filled me with even more doubt and fear about Friday night. They were talking up the storm so hard.

lucky for us the game isn't played based of peoples opinions on a podcast ... if it was, seven teams may as well just take the next month off

 

[Renegade]

Disappointed for Jensen and Oates but let's goooooooooooooooo

 

[Inside pass]

Iff panthers and warriors win its broncs warriors. If panthers win and warriors lose its broncos storm. If both panthers and warriors lose its broncos warriors. If panthers lose and warriors win its broncos storm

Or could it be Broncos V Storm times 2 if games go certain way ?

We could potentially meet the Storm again in the GF regardless of how Friday's match goes

 

[Fatboy]

What’s our record under Atkins as ref?

 

[Galah]

The only place they have us is grant and Munster.

Also the ref but that’s in the past starting on Friday because it will be an evenly reffed game…

 

[Inside pass]

It'll be the Storm.

Doesn't matter how good we've been this year, we are their bitches and it's going to take near-perfect football to beat them. Dumb errors and incomplete sets kill us every fucking time.

Just have to go with them when they put on those surges

 

[Santa]

What’s our record under Atkins as ref?

16-0-20 (44%)

For Melbourne: 25-0-11 (69%)

 

[mrslong]

What’s our record under Atkins as ref?

He literally gets in the way and stops us scoring tries

 

[Super Freak]

What’s our record under Atkins as ref?

47.5%. 19 wins, 21 losses.

 

[McHunt]

I'll be genuinely surprised if there are any surprises.

1. Walsh
2. Arthars
3. Staggs
4. Farnworth
5. Cobbo
6. Mam
7. Reynolds
8. Flegler
9. Walters
10. Haas
11. Capewell
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

14. Smoothy
15. Piakura
16. Hetherington
17. Palasia

Sorry, I should've put a SPOILER on this.

 

[Fatboy]

Oh… that guy.

 

[Galah]

Was he the one that got in trouble from the first game we played? Because of such a bad performance

 

[Santa]

He's the guy who blocked Smoothy and called Staggs offside against the Roosters.

 

[GCBRONCO]

He literally gets in the way and stops us scoring tries

Got to give credit to the opposition when they put one of their players in ref clothing to add to their defensive line.

 

[GCBRONCO]

He's the guy who blocked Smoothy and called Staggs offside against the Roosters.

I was more pissed off with the Staggs call of the two

 

[ChewThePhatt]

Not even remotely worried. Broncos by 18

 

[Harry Sack]

I booked front row so that I can get my erratic behaviour off the plane asap and before arrest

I'm envisioning this tbh. Different jersey and a fancier scarf obviously.

I love the boys but deadset...every player "could be anything" on that show and a lot of coaches are living on past reputation. Best *insert position* in the game seems to change fairly frequently as well. I do think Kemp tries not to talk too much about us to keep things even though. He's copped flack for it in the past
