I was surprised this hadn't been started yet (imagine no team to discuss would be part of that) but given the first game of the season is 4 days away thought I'd start one up.
Firstly-weather
As you know it's been pissing down up here for about 2 months, I had another 185 Mls in my backyard just over the weekend.
BUT there is a little sun today and they (BOM) are saying sunny days with a few showers for the rest of the week.
Suncorp has an amazing drainage system (truly amazing) so as long as it's not pissing down on the day we'll get a dry track.
Secondly-ticket sales
I don't know what the numbers are but the Bronco's are confident of over 45K, so almost a SOO like atmosphere.
There are only single seats left in Bay 317 (as of last night).
MWTS
We have almost 120 people joining us for the pre game Function and in Bay 317, should be a great atmosphere, and with Bay 317 almost full we should make a LOT of noise.
Our chances
I'll let you guys debate that but to me the Bronco's always start well and we don't so we could be in for a tough night at the office.
HOWEVER, the Bronco's attack is crap, a halves pairing that have never played together, rookie wingers and a fullback who runs hot and cold. Hodges is fair, Reed is a good player and will be their "go to man". I somehow doubt thjis one will be played on the edges.
Their forwards are pretty good and have mostly played together for a few years now, that is their strength and they will play to it!!
My tip......Manly by 4
