Live NRL: Round 1 Discussion

[happy_tiger]

Don't think we will see more than 30 points tonight

Melbourne 14 Brisbane 12

Jahrome Hughes to kill it …most interest for me will be seeing how Matt Gillett returning at lock for Brisbane and how Melbourne cope without Slater

 

[TJ21]

I got Broncos by 8 Hap.

Hope Gillet has a good return, seems like a great family man. Surprised TPJ on the bench, thought he would start at lock and Gillet into the 2nd Row @happy_tiger

It's because TPJ has been injured. Long term they'll want him starting.

 

[Harvey]

The Broncos are terrible. A number of horribly overrated players in that side

 

[TJ21]

Jesus did I say Broncos by 8.

 

[innsaneink]

Chambers dudded.. A square up for the first knock on try to melb… Great to see the refs still crap

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Melbourne are a class above.

Couldn't understand how the Broncos firmed in betting.

 

[1eyedmel]

Broncos to come away with the second half for a narrow win.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Because idiots like me changed their tip last minute!! Why why do I do this!!!!

 

[WT2K]

Surprised it's only 10-0\. Donkeys lucky not to be down 20

Broncos won’t be true premiership contenders until they get a better halfback. Nikorima is a good #14 but his game is too similar to Milford’s… they need an organising half. They also need an upgrade at fullback - Boyd is a shadow of his former self

 

[WT2K]

They need to move Isaako to fullback

 

[WT2K]

Got ourselves a game, finally. Oates with a double

Could not agree more. Nikorima is terrible and Boyd looks lost without uncle Wayne.

 

[gallagher]

Great to see a penalty for back chat. More of it please.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Brisbane chucked a Wests. Let them get too far in front and then try to run them down.

Boyd was pedestrian at times and they lack an organising half. Will probably still finish well above us though…

 

[The_Patriot]

You have to think that McCulloch is on borrowed time. Nikorima to hooker, Bird to 5/8 and Staggs to centre.

Only a matter of time.

 

[WT2K]

Possible to change title of topic to Round 1? Saves starting a new one for each game.

 

[maxxy86]

YUp anyone saying that the broncos can with this comp are deluded….with two running 5/8ths out there and a fullback that looks disinterested.
Would have been real handy to have picked up C Oates as he is a gun. Got me 108 point in SuperCoach aswell.

 

[happy_tiger]

Few blokes coming back from major injuries at Brisbane

Don't think they will win the premiership but they will make the Top 8 if everyone stays fit

Wondering how long Boyd can keep Isakko out of the fullback position
