its worrying without doubt, locky will have a few weeks off and Michael Ryan will come into hooker next week, both will help the side and imo we will still make the grand final...

With the last 12 premiers, only one of them have lost more than 2 games in the final 6 rounds of the home and away season. Basically that means that you have to hit the finals with momentum. Brisbane have already lost 2 games from their final 6, and still have another 3 to play. The game that we did win - against Canberra - our attack/spark/enthusiasm was garbage (on a par with 2003 and 2004). The idea that you can just fall into the finals with poor form, and then come good, is wrong. At present, Brisbane are playing no better than in 2003/2004 - as with the State of Origin series, our attack is embarrassing. In those years, we hit the finals with no momentum and never looked like making the GF.

I'm loving this. Broncos supporters are losing faith. Hope they trounce Parra in the final round so we can walk into the Top 2

HowardJ is far from a true Broncos supporter, I wouldnt' take too much stock from what he is saying.

 

[Mister Wright]

Keep telling yourself that..

I worded that incorrectly. If you have a form slump in the first 3 weeks of the finals, then you're out. At least my team has a chance of making the finals.

 

[Mister Wright]

penrith away i think, havent checked...
but hopefully tate plays cause he and hodges have been in good form lately but we havent been able to get them both on the field at the same time, with locky and McGuire likely to be out injured i think Barnes will play 5/8 and Michael Ryan hooker, this is what i want to see cause our biggest problem has been the service from dummy half with Barry Berrigan out. Sam Thaiday also needs to play

Barry Berrigan is back from injury next week, so he will likely take the Hooker role.

Tigers ABSOLUTELY storming.

...and there`s another one. 46-2.

 

[Burpey]

54-2 ... puts the pressure on the Dragons now. Who'd you guys tip, Dragons or Eels ?

2 in two weeks of the biggest hiding of the clubs career.

2 in two weeks of the biggest hiding of the clubs career.

its not actually, its their biggest losses since joining in 1935.
they were beaten that season by Easts one week 87-7 and then by St George the next week 91-6 which remain as the biggest wins in the history of the game...

I went for the Eels, but it was flip of the coin for me....i'll just sit back and watch a cracker game on Sunday, no matter the result.

lol yeh, its about as bad as being a raiders fan hey, they have as much attacking potential as Jason Gillespies batting and the execution of his bowling!

Haha poor Raiders.

...cept I`ll put 50 on `em for tonight. Upset time.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well it was 6-0 Raiders, but we've lost coverage over here now. Bloody satellite!!

 

[shaka]

3 tries unlucky for Stacey Jones, I dont think it was obstruction as Awen had nowhere to go.

 

[Nate]

Raiders up 14-12 at the break.
