It;s time to go a bit Sun Tzu. Turn the storm strengths into weaknesses. Attack their wingers, they've had it all their own way in attack, Let's see how the pressure of being the next Izzy sits with [FONT=arial, sans-serif]Vunivalu. Run blocking plays in defence on kicks to the corners. Kick to the corners in attack with relentless kick chase pressure. Put Cooper Cronk on his ass as often as possible.[/FONT]

I don't think you're far off with this. Korobiete and Vunivalu don't mind leaving their wing to shut down the sweeping play. If we get smart we can exploit this with cut out passes or putting some kicks behind the line.
 
According to the Big League this week, Korobiete has the equal second highest error rate in the NRL so this needs to be exploited.
 
The problem is, the Broncos don't want to bend the rules because that's not what Bennett wants the team to do.

He doesn't believe in that because he believes it ruins the reputation of the game so anyone expecting us to start doing what Storm do should stop hoping, because it's not going to happen.

I still stand by my comment made earlier in the thread.

If we win this, we will be premiers this year.

Koroibete has always been one of those error prone players.. But not enough teams exploit it because the Storm don't allow them to. They make the opposition play on their terms.

The teams that have played on their own terms this year have been the ones that have pushed them and even beat them.

To win we must be excellent in catching bombs and with our on-goal defence. The more times we have the Storm starting their sets inside their own half the better for us. Our kick chase has been excellent since the Dragons game, so if we can end our sets near halfway and apply pressure with a kick chase we give ourselves a chance. We can't have Oates dropping bombs.

Damn, and here am I thinking it was just the ju-jitse moves that have them on top of the ladder, not that they concede the least line breaks and make the most line breaks.... Fire up boys, play decent footy and you win games.... blame the world like whiney bitches and get rolled. not that the players whine, but just a lot of our broncos supporters are really starting to overplay the blame game.

Worked for the Cows last year. The players and the fans. Bleated like stuck goats.
 
I'm hoping Oates has found his catching hands again, there is going to be plenty of kicks coming his way.
 
I believe the boys can win.

round 17 feels like a horrible nightmare, their not the same team tonight.

As cliche' as it sounds they need to play some premiership winning football tonight, attacking plays needs to be accurate & on point, our attitude without the ball needs to looks like we enjoy tackling & breaking their spirits with an impenetrable line. Anything short of that and the storm probably whittle us down to a 8-14 point loss.
 
The lord almighty himself, The Flying Spaghetti Monster, has again touched me with his noodly appendage and bestowed upon me the winner of tonight's game. I can reveal that he has told me, Brisbane will win by 7, with a Ben Hunt field goal.

I wanted to believe you but then you said 7 and hunt with a field goal.
 
I'm feeling quietly confident about this game.

I don't necessarily think the Broncos will walk away with the two points, but like the Roosters game last year I believe they'll walk away with some measure of confidence. There were some real positive signs last week that this team had serious designs to go one better, which is something I haven't seen from them since Good Friday and been dying to see. If they can be tenacious and capitilise on the odd Melbourne mistake they could turn heads tonight.
