Pre-Game Manly v Broncos [Round 10, 2022]

[ALinda]

With 50-100mm of rain forecast for Brisbane in the next 2 days, on top of about 30 today, it'll be well and truly soggy and imo the wet conditions will stifle the Broncs attack, and they're due for a loss.

DCE vs Reynolds and their kicking games will be interesting. The beast Haumole's back, along with Davey and Aloiai's in good form and hopefully they can overcome the Broncs' pack.

Atkins is the worry for me, but hey fingers crossed we're good enough.

I drift in and out of being confident.

It’s one of those “ buggered if I really know” type games.

Anyone know the stats on home teams winning the penalty/6 again count under each ref?

We certainly got the rub of the 6 agains vs Tigers.
We are the home team again this weekend

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

That was where I was headed… amazing what a home crowd does to the refs decisions.

Although we’ll be at “home” I’m sure the ref will be subjectively unfavouring the Broncos

Zero home ground advantage on this one , but we do make money out of it I guess !!

We generally get fuked over at home or away by ref/bunker clowns. Fri will be no exception.

Schuster travelled with the team, which is a decent sign. You’d very rarely see players travel if they weren’t a decent chance of playing.

 

[mickqld]

I’m out at Bonogin. As you’d know only 15-20minutes to Burleigh (well that’s if that car park they call a highway is actually moving). But as soon as you hit Bonogin Rd and head into the hinterland it can be pissing down in Burleigh, get to my joint…nothing, not a drop. It hasn’t let up here all day, so I’m not surprised you are only getting a drizzle.

Lots of amazing houses on acerages out there.

So the Schu’s fit?

Oh sorry, wrong thread...

 

[The Wheel]

Rain has eased off overnight up here - bit more forecast for later today but hopefully the worst has passed

Mick if jake stops giving ridiculous penalties away it won’t come to that.

What the hell was the NRL expecting by starting the season on a Black Friday!!
The way it's started it could be a long year for them.
Brett cleared, plays SOO solidly(on the losing side!!), man of match in GF, and us back to back GFs and WCCS.

I wonder if the Red Baron was attracted to it because it was posted by blitzkrieg.
Now, if only we had a poster called Luftwaffe.

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

Just light drizzle in Burleigh all day

170 mls here in Cashmere just yesterday!

I hope someone can remind Atkins of this...lol.

Haven’t seen sun for weeks - wind is very cold

Or is Des just messing with Kevvies head...lol.

I promise you, 110% this is VERY unusual

Rain, and lots of it, October to March sometimes into very early April.

Absolute glorious weather May -September, shorts and t-shirt most days and most nights, a couple (yes 2 or 3) cooler nights down to 8 degrees.

This "ain't normal"

 

[Eagle 1]

Rain has eased off overnight up here - bit more forecast for later today but hopefully the worst has passed

The dorky looking weather guy on Fox said that a big bulk of the rain is going into a Sth/East direction via Sunshine Coast way...meaning into the sea.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

By the way I've changed my tipping pick about 4 times , first choice Broncos, then back to Manly when I heard Schuster was playing, then back to the Broncos when I saw Hass / Capewell back in, then back to Manly as I think we might (might) be better mud runners.

Buggered if I really know.

This game, and Storm V Panthers is a toss of the coin.
