PRE-GAME Round 10 - Broncos vs Roosters

[Dee]

Guys, we won't win tonight. It's that simple. We won't win. Expect a loss and lower your expectations.

We aren't as mentally tough as the Roosters at the moment. When things get tough tonight, we'll try hard but we'll eventually buckle.

What I want to see is effort and desire. A better attitude and to try our best even when we're losing, just to keep trying.

If we can match it with them and lose by a try or less, it should give us more confidence heading into next week.

Crowd might be affected tonight.

Someone's jumped in front of a train.

Which line?

For mine the main reason the chooks are so good is that they execute everything so damn fast. The only way to counter that is to dominate them in defence and sit them on their collective arse, exactly as we did in THAT game with Thaiday leading the way, crunching JWH.

And because they don’t have a salary cap

That’s actually a really strong exciting side and can definitely do some damage.

@Fozz ^^^^

Turpin! Get rid of those sideburns!

Looks like the crowd will be on the low side. 3 of the upper tiers closed. Patchy crowd in the lower tier.

Lot of people probably footballed out after last weekend.
Had a feeling this might happen. Game deserves 35k minimum.
Stupid nrl scheduling.

 

[Donald Garner]

Tedesco said they haven’t been able to train this week with the flights and short turn around. That’s a positive. Really looking forward to this game. I’m going to be so disappointed if we don’t show up and get flogged.

I like the look of the team apart from 13. Starting TPJ from the bench would have given us some impact around that 20min mark and would have allowed Flegler to do that hard stuff in the middle for the first 20mins

Is TPJ going to have a crack this week?

 

[Broncs_Fan]

This Roosters team is ridiculously good. We will get carved up tonight. I just want to see them give it their all.

Well he's running out of time to bump up his asking price.

Green and inexperienced. Shibasaki is going to get a bath.

Let me wipe away my tears with my plastic hand.

 

[McHunt]

I'm tipping us to beat the Roosters. Is anyone else?

I guess, but after his last outing the bar must be pretty damn low. I seem to recall him getting roundly abused the last time he played as well but can't say I noticed him amongst the rest of the stink.

Even the flightiest of fanboys deep down wouldn't be expecting a victory. The skill levels between the two sides are at a gap too great to imagine. Roosters by 16+.

No real surprise. We were always going to win this game.

The season turned around when we lost Macca. Just like last year. The challenge now is keeping him out.

Last year, we had turned our season around while Macca was in the side but you've already been told that and are just obviously choosing to ignore it to suit your argument.
