So much deep history vs these Broncos.
Best games of the season when we win (yep better than Penrith coz of the history).
I was pretty nervous yesterday (long two weeks, the un mentionable off field distractions).
Every mini era there are the big three in the NRL. Predominantly that has been the Storm, Panthers, and Roosters. But in recent times the Broncos have pushed the Roosters out of that class and are one of the trinity of clubs frankly too good for us, and the Storm are having their problems.
The seats at the top table are looking take able, I dunno if we quite have the Roster yet to be one of the super clubs, we're definitely getting there, all of us have been waiting for this test, the first time we played one of the powerhouses we ran into a hapless Melbourne how dam sweet was that night!
Forget ladder rankings, tonight is going to be a blood fest, someone is gonna get smashed).
I want a win so bad, so I gotta temper me expectations coz you can't predict which Warriors side comes out of this bye. I would have been a lot more confident with Roger out there I think, his try savers on the edges have been epic, and we need that because the Broncos have the best attacking fullback in the game.
We win by strangling teams, it ain't pretty, it ain't sexy, we don't have those types of Xfactor backs. But we choke you out and throw body punches in the clinch (those little short range Try's we rely so heavily on).
My main concern though is the officiating, it is hard to effect a strangle if you are constantly retreating and hanging on. Shame this game is not a night game, it deserves to have been scheduled the closing game of the tournament (I know it isn't a tournament, but it has that atmosphere and hype).
Instead we get a dead rubber to close things out (wot genius thought that up, I am guessing the greedy bean counters thought that we would draw the crowds in for the Dead rubber and they would stick around rather than void the stadium or just not show up at all).
Come on lads, do this for the 95'vers.
