[sangers]

OMFG...quoted!

BONCOS!

u guys probably didnt get that ad in nsw. it was one where the bronco's players were spraypainting their sign on the field and they spelt it "boncos".

[Manny]

Still funny...BONCOS

[fueltank]

LOL.
Don't discount Storm though. Still, will be interesting match
Hope it's not one sided.

Go boncos

[sangers]

certainly interesting. we're watching a team that hit their peak several weeks ago (storm) and have been able to sustain the momentum without too many injuries and without losing any consistency or concentration.

and then our team... who aren't to the level of consistency and perfection that the storm are at but have overwhelming individual talent across the park and have found good combinations and have developed great patience over the past two weeks.

u couldn't call it, but i hope its the boncos

[Manny]

Dunno who to back...

[Steve-O]

I'll back Broncos... but thats cos I hate Melb hahaha

that was an awesome game against the bulldogs... what a comeback
watched it at the sportsbar live while at the same time watching Adelaide play Qld in the A-League

[noodleman]

hmmm why was the other official nrl thread get locked?

[felixR]

i'm going for the storms.. because the boncos beat the bulldogs

[sangers]

i'm going for the storms.. because the boncos beat the bulldogs

u should be going for the broncos so you can argue that the dogs are the 2nd best team.

if storm > broncos > bulldogs, then storm >> bulldogs

[sangers]

congrats broncos!!! wooo!

ecstatic about the result. i felt melbourne choaked a bit in the end. they lost their concentration, went away from their set plays and just panicked in the last 20 minutes making heaps of errors. berrigan completely shutdown iglis too. didn't feel like the broncos particularly dominated, they just hung in there and made less mistakes and didn't panic. awesome game.
