ROUND 8

Thursday, April 26  results

Rabbitohs 20  v  24 Broncos

The forward pass that took the Bunnies from 14 to 20, in the 74/75 minute made the full time score line look good for them.

Is it my imagination (or is it just my 'IMO he is such an inconsistent,over rated player) that, since 2012-14 whenever Manly has been going through inner club chaos involving players/coach,/board or all 3 at the time... DCE is always the up-front and centre common denominator

I knew that song would work. The grand final is yours Broncos.

[natang]

DCE most over rated player in game. 

However what a season Maloney is having with Penrith! Tonight’s titans game was awesome titans unlucky in the end. Some bloody good games last weekend and this weekend finally the refs are letting the players play!

[natang]

How appalling were the cowboys tonight........ They are gone for the season now I would say......

Saturday, April 28  results

Titans 9  v  10  Sharks

Will any Gold Coast NRL franchise team ever be capable of give something back to their fans, on the field

Cowboys 8  v  18 Raiders

Looking to the future now, it may well be the time for Green to make the call to let the younger leadership team that took the Cowboys to last year`s grand final, have more on the field input before their hunger wanes as it turns into a long season, prior to the end of  not only Thurston, but Scott and Cooper also. Showing loyalty to the older guard is admirable, but to repress your future leaders who are ready to do so, is fraught with danger

Sunday, April 29

That was a good game to watch. Both sides played with very high intensity. I will be an interesting State Of Origin this year.

Any tips on who will win?

Tell me about it Gary. I tipped against the Broncos, against the advice of my 6yr old son. I then asked him on Friday who he thought would win the Manly v Newcastle match and he said Manly so I changed my tip (was going a Knights upset) and of course, the Knights get up ...... Grrrrrrr!!!!!!!!

Thursday, May 3  results

Broncos 22  v  20 Bulldogs

The 22 – 20 scoreline helped by the slippery/soft playing surface made the Doggies look a 12 points better side than they actually were! 

[Angry51]

I was so excited I forgot to tip the Broncs.

I think I may have early  dementia, but I can't 

remember what the symptons are.

Cheers

Gary

[natang]

I didn’t tip Cowboys but bloody hell I am so glad they got the win!!! They needed it and now to move forward boys for the season. Matt Scott getting some form now and Jason Tamalolu was bloody amazing. 

[Drop Bear]

Sadly I very much doubt it, unless Morgan gets back to 100%. The Origin selectors would have to be seriously asking themselves if he can offer enough given his current restrictions. Hope he bounces back quickly.

[ellicat]

It's official - The Broncos are just a Pangai Jnr short of having a completely s&*t pack this year.

[Gad]

Saturday, May 12  results

Warriors 0  v  32 Roosters

Score line says it all... Warriors were Roostered!

Storm 28  v  14 Titans

Just as well the Titans stepped up in the first 40 minutes....

Sea Eagles 38  v  24 Broncos

Who would have thunk!

[Dinodadog]

I am afraid bennetts time is over he needs to go, his slow hands in pockets, slow drawl, is infecting the whole team, I am sure I seen a couple of them yawning. Bennett has only ever been in it for the money.Overstayed his welcome well and truly.

This is the first time ( in my memory) in the Bronco`s 29 year history, after their first choice 17 there is really no experienced experienced players waiting on an injury to fill the void. Hass Payne is really the only outstanding potential getting a chance, if he can overcome his own injury run as an 18 year old forward coming up against seasoned players. That show`s the shallowness of the Bronco`s second tier choices or lack of, at hand. 

[natang]

Hass Payne is making a good go of it. Just needs to stop knocking himself out! He has played well so far. Think he will be good in the coming yeas if he doesn't burn out. I think Broncos and the Cowboys are gone for the season now.  Morgan is not fit there is something wrong there that he is carrying.........He's been off the pace a fait bit so far. Tigers, Saints, Rabbitohs, Roosters and Storm.

 

Favourite player this year is Tariq Simms.

 

Melbourne will be better with Cameron around throughout Origin this year. I'm thinking St George V Melbourne final. 

[ellicat]

Maguire and Gillett are still to come back and will make a big difference to the Broncos pack.
