Well the bookies have spoken Broncos the shortest priced fav to win this weekend $1.29, Dragons despised outsiders at $3.64. So why did I bother spending $180 on 2 tickets to watch the game live? We are up against it as they have one of the best game managers in the comp and arguably the best bookends. Are we about to watch another Anzac Day effort?
Personally I don't believe so.
Positives, Reynolds is playing injured, Mam will be underdone. Their bench has no backs, top heavy with forwards so the game plan is very simple , straight down the middle of the park, outmuscle us and pile on the points.
Our young forwards, Egan/Stewart/Tonga will be up for this game against a daunting but underachieving Broncos pack.
Negatives, Haas/Carrigan v JDB/Klemmer in the front row . JDB wont let us down, im happy he gets the nod to replace young Couchman.
The 3 key issues to this game will be:
1. Our engine rooms ability to be competitive,
2. when in possession our completion rate must improve substantially 73% wont cut it on Sunday.
3. Errors must be compatible.
If we cannot achieve these, then yes, expect another Anzac Day scoreline. Either way I will be there cheering the big red V on.
