OFFICIAL 2025 Grand Final Discussion Thread

[Demps]

The countdown begins.

Who do we all think wins?
Who do we want to win?
"I don't care, I hate em both!"

Either way, it's the big dance and hopefully it's a good game.

One thing both teams have is an abundance of halves in their squads.
Broncos: Adam Reynolds, Ezra Man,Ben Hunt and Billy Walters. With Jock Madden in reserves.
Storm: Cameron Munster, Jahrome Hughes, Tyran Wishart and Jonah Pezet.
That’s serious depth to get them where they are.

 

[Jimmy]

Brisbane to win both the nrl and afl

 

[weststigerman]

Brisbane.

Madge proving we are the only club in the world across the NRL, ESL, International, State of Origin that he doesn’t win something with.

 

[tiger_one]

[Buttface]

Payne Hass.

I went Melb.
In the finals the Broncos have played 175 minutes of football and only lead for 12 of those minutes.

Yep with some actual 7’s and not all 5/8’s trying to be something they’ve never been.
Some halves can do it and I hope Latu can be one of those, but I reckon Jock will get plenty of NRL.
I think most are thinking we are gunna play and develop Latu as a 7 over the offseason, but I’d rather us get his body right and really strong so he can endure a full season on the field. It’s the best way to learn, but every time he gets a roll on, he gets injured and starts over. I’ve seen enough to know if he can stay on the field he’ll have a decent career, and I’m prepared to invest in that, but I want him on the field.

I have a feeling Jock could be a very good buy for us. Think hell get plenty first grade too.
Hope Atkins gets the gig i thought he went better of the two over the weekend.

It should be a cracker of a game with the NRL’s two top points scoring teams. I would like to see Reynolds hold up the trophy, he’s been a great player for Souths and Broncos.
Successful teams usually have a great collaboration between coach and half.

It was a smart move by the club signing Jock it was obviously done with Latu's recurring injuries in mind and what happens a few weeks after he put pen to paper, he goes down again.

Benji was made of tissue paper when he was young and eventually grew out of it one can only hope the same for Latu.

Things are starting to crank up!
This little kindle from Stefano...
“I’m going to make sure I set up this week to get that first kick of the game - there are going to be a lot of people I want to run at, a lot of people I don’t like on this team.

“I’m keen to go out there and run someone over.

“I don’t want to name names, there are a lot of people I think are a bit stuck up. I’m pretty keen just to run out and do a job for our team.”

HAHA!! I wonder why Stef didn't show that sort of leadership while he was with us?
Good for him.

 

[Telltails]

Stef playing less minutes at Melbourne and is used for impact. We just didn't have the class or depth to use him in that way. Not many players have the connection to, or will to stick it out at a club that is struggling when Melbourne comes knocking.
