Pick Your Team Brisbane Broncos v NZ Warriors - [Round 11, 2026]

[roguei]

Mixed bag last five years (note - in 21/22 there was a week off in June though not listed as bye on rleagueproject, was that a full comp week off?)

2025 : L v Storm, L v Panthers, W v Tigers
2024 : W v Cowboys, L v Raiders, final round bye does the L v Raiders in Vegas R1 '25 count
2023 : L v Broncos, W v Dragons, W v Titans
2022 : L v Eels (W v Tigers after week off in June)
2021 : L v Storm (L v Dragons after week off in June)


Baby Broncos in Napier was post bye as well so the comment above remembering that result also pertinent!

I think in the post match talk, webby specifically brought up how the warriors need to come back with the same level of intensity and fittness from a bye. If not even better. So i'm glad he's calling it out as somthing to improve upon as well.

Game 2 of SOO was played on the last Sunday in June on both those seasons. In 2022 there was some internationals including Kiwis vs Tonga

Figured it was Origin related with the timing, I guess was just a week off for the teams rather than a competition point-gaining bye round (hence no bye listing).

Is Egan okay to play at Magic Round? I heard he was goiong to have a rest - seems a little strange?

Just had a bye and next one is only in 3 weeks. Surely not?

tomorrow will be the most fascinating TLT of the year. In particular, what does he do with Mets. I'd prefer he get some time in cup but I can only imagine the media furore that would cause even if it is the right decision. The Sydney media will be watching very carefully.

Webby and co need to name the team that most benefits the overall goals of success. I've not been a supporter if putting Metty in cup but if it's best then so be it. I'm alright with him being on the bench but.

A bye gives everyone extra rest and recovery time.

Top equal options would be Bench first grade or NSW cup at 7 only.

Him playing anywhere but 7 in NSW is the worst case.
