Thanks for your effort. I'm glad I missed this nail-biter.

Couple of hour before kick off. Here's how the teams look , at least for now:

 

Broncos: 1. Darius Boyd 2. Corey Oates 3. Tom Opacic 4. James Roberts 5. Lachlan Maranta 6. Anthony Milford 7. Ben Hunt 8. Josh McGuire 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Adam Blair 11. Sam Thaiday 12. Matt Gillett 13. Corey Parker. Interchange: 14. Jarrod Wallace 15. Tevita Pangai Junior 16. Jai Arrow 17. Alex Glenn

Eels: 1 Michael Gordon 5 Bevan French 4 Bradley Takairangi 3 Michael Jennings 2 Vai Toutai 6 Clinton Gutherson 7 Jeff Robson 8 Danny Wicks 9 Isaac De Gois 10 Tim Mannah 11 Manu Ma’u 12 Tepai Moeroa 13 Peni Terepo Interchange: 14 Kaysa Pritchard 15 David Gower 16 Kenneth Edwards 17 Daniel Alvaro 18 Rory O’Brien

The talking point: Brisbane’s halves. Wayne Bennett has decided his playmakers don’t need Kevin Walters in their ear to get back on track. Now it’s over to Anthony Milford and Ben Hunt — who expressed his disappointment at Bennett’s call during the week — to prove him right. There were some promising signs against the Dragons, but Milford in particular remains well off the cracking pace he started the year at.

Friday... Broncos game... What a surprise!

I'd love to see the Eels win this one.

So Bennett didn't like Walters' input?

Since Langer is already coaching the team (cheiefly the halves) on the field for the first 3 or 4 tackles of a set, you'd think that he can do that at training. What was the point of using Walters?

If Horsies win they'll definitely make the finals, 8th at worst if they lose their other 3 - including Storm and Dogs. Their +/- is 60pts better than the teams behind them.

I've just realised that the site I was relying on to watch the games is now blocked in Japan.

F**ck!
