Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3574988, member: 9853"] [I]Mal Meninga says we're going to win the 2024 premiership, for sure:[/I] [INDENT]“I think Brisbane will be mentally stronger for what happened, absolutely. Having guys like Patty Carrigan, Selwyn, Kotoni and Payne Haas in our Australian team … Brisbane have the nucleus of a premiership team there. You can’t buy that grand-final experience they had. You have to go through it and live it and I’m hoping that their time in this Australian team will help them learn some more and get them ready for the bigger games."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“Penrith are one of the greatest sides I have ever seen, they are never beaten. The Broncos learnt some harsh lessons, they made a lot of errors in that first half and maybe fatigue got them at the back end. But the Panthers have such a belief in their system and each other that the game is never dead with them."[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [INDENT]“But the Broncos are an exciting developing footy team, they have some fantastic young players, some of whom are in our Australian team. I believe they won’t be scarred by the grand-final loss too much at all.”[/INDENT] [INDENT]“I am hoping Payne will be a Kangaroo for the rest of his career. That’s the reason why I have selected him. It’s great to have Payne available for us. The Australian team is stronger for his presence. If you want a front-rower, Payne is the perfect model really, he can play big minutes and it’s all quality minutes. It’s inevitable we will lose more guys to the Pacific Nations, but it’s important we keep a talent like Payne in the green-and-gold jumper.”[/INDENT] [I]Patty concurs:[/I] [INDENT]“I think this Test experience will help us. It’s given our guys like Selwyn and Kotoni another taste of playing big games. Being around the best players in the game will help us take some knowledge back to the Broncos with preparation and performing on the biggest stages. The big-game experience we are getting from these Tests will hold us in good stead at the Broncos next year.”[/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
