If there's anything guaranteed in this world it's that Tapine (from Canberra) and TPJ will have their season best games vs bulldogs EVERY SEASON! BET YOUR HOUSE ON IT. We are no chance, unless someone takes out TPJ early.

Ill admit TPJ is a recent correlation, but Tapine is an actual causation! It's stupid how consistently he becomes God like vs us and is utter crap otherwise.. what did we do to him?!

Topine has his best games v us and always scores a try

Yeah, knowing it and stopping it are two different things. He gets four or five away every game. So long as the focus is to surround the players directly around him to shut down anything after the offload then we should be able to diffuse it better.
That was the frustrating thing when we played them last year. You knew he was their main threat but we just rolled over and let him do what he wanted with us

Yep, and those tries are from nothing.
He catches the ball flat footed 10 metres out doing nothing, then spins around a few times and players just magically fall off him and he scores under the posts.

There is no way the NRL is going to let us win tonight.
No chance.
Brisbane are way too important for them for ratings and crowd attendences.
On the other hand the news outlets get a lot of drama bait out of Broncis being bad so some financial benefit to the Broncis being bad and a loss this week is equal or more than the record longest losing streak ever.

Yes, but the NRL do not get $$$ directly from that.

The NRL are in the middle of negotiations of a TV deal and the Brisbane market is vital.

If the Broncos lose today then they could easily start the season 0-8. Have you seen there draw?

Even V'Landys said the Queensland teams poor performance effected the TV ratings last season.

Obviously we can overcome the ref, but it is another battle for us.

No way we get more penalties or 6 again's than the Broncos or even 50/50 calls.

Wait and watch.

Spot on, Broncos are a shit team who still get calls go their way ...last week's first try came after they knocked on, with play allowed to go on.
Broncos are sponsored by Channel 9 and have 15 games locked in with the national broadcasters...no such thing as 50/50 when it involves the dogs

The Raiders NSW Cup pack would demolish our NRL pack.
The first grade experience throughout the whole side is ridiculous tbh.. how the hell are raiders under the cap with that depth..
