I'd like to see the Warriors beat the Broncos. To be honest.
IMO Sean Johnson is the best player in the competition at present. I'm a huge fan of Payne Haas but is AFB the better prop?

Having said that, the Broncos outside backs are far better. DWZ's hairstyle is popular but is he half as good as Cobbo? I don't think so.

Anyone know what happened with the Warriors centre Rocco Berry? Did he reject the Dolphins or did the Dolphins reject him?

Had a good game on Sat. Would surely have been better than Brenko Lee and less certain but highly likely, he'd have been better than Aitken.

Warriors are right in this but I just can't see Melbourne coming close to Penrith.
  1. Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers: Penrith by 12
  2. Brisbane Broncos v New Zealand Warriors: NZ by 2

I'm really struggling to care who wins. If the teams were reversed I would have been going for Warriors and Broncos.
  1. Melbourne Storm v Penrith Panthers: Penrith by 14
    First try: Liam Martin
    MoM: Cleary

  2. Brisbane Broncos v New Zealand Warriors: Broncos by 10
    First try: Cobbo
    MoM: Haas

Whoever wins today is going to have a mountain to climb in order to beat Penrith.

I hope Broncos win. Be nice to take the trophy away from Sydney for the first time in a while. And Penrith are really arrogant. I know Reece Walsh is too but he isn't the while team, no matter what the media would have us believe.

  • First Try - Cobbo

Flegler and Farnworth have been two of the Broncos 3 best so far. Haas being the other.

All time great choke!
Lots of absolutely gutted Broncs fans around today. I would have preferred they win. I know the argument about their success being not in our favour but not sure I agree. A premiership inevitably brings about salary cap pressure. Runner up not as much.

I tell you, that "desperation pass" on the 3rd tackle from Herbie with Broncos up by 16 and 22min to go wasn't the smartest thing I've ever seen. In fact, I think we could call it "a brain explosion".

Not much in it. But WTF was Adam Reynolds thinking with the 2 late dropouts? After what happened in the first half with his dropouts, surely he should have booted them down the middle as far as he could. Even after the one late went out on the full, he doubled down! That one would have gone out of the full as well if Martin had the good sense to just step out of the way rather that catch. And even then the end result was Penrith with the ball on the attack on tackle 2 rather than 4.

I don't think anyone doubts Reynolds has been good for that team but jeez, for the experienced head in that time, something went wrong yesterday.

And his captain's challenge was really uncalled for. What made him think he was in a better position to judge than the touch judge? Should have just owned his mistake and moved on. There was still 9min to go.
