The team published looks like the team that could take the field in light of the Broncos monster pack. If our defence can move fast on their behemoths and cut down on their ball movement we should have this in the bag. Hopefully the team will come back fresh after the encounter with the Eels big boppers.
Wet or dry I feel we need to kick behind the lines and use our fast backs to contain the less experienced Broncs and keep their forwards in their own end zone, tiring the bigger forwards. It worked a treat in the grand final. Intercept experts such as Manu may have a field day. As someone with a particular hatred for the Broncs and their continual lucky breaks, it would be lovely to see a convincing victory over these gladsome ganders.

Well I wouldn't consider SST a big player like a Tom Burgess or the other dumb twin. The good thing about rain is that it helps players not get as tired due to dehydration therefore it does take out the fatigue element somewhat on the bigger players whereas if they played on a nice dry day then fatigue sets in on heavy players much quicker.

Probably more advantageous to us with a more experienced 17.
The team Robbo has named I reckon will be pretty close to the one that takes the field if Coops and JWH are passed fit. Let's hope we can jag our first win at the our temporary home.Supporting the RW&B, through good times and bad times.

Good James Roberts is not playing. We are still suffering rectal injuries after he tore us a new one in Brisbane last year.
Don't get me started on the jersey numbers either. I mean FFS... give the starting halfback a #7 jersey!!! When watching live it can get pretty annoying trying to identify players when they are all wearing mufti numbers.
