The Business End of the Season!

After a short hiatus, I'm glad to report I'm back on deck. Gotta love real life taking away from our beloved blog. Back to business..

Round 22 ends tonight and that means that the road to the finals is another step closer. A friendly run home can mean the difference between the finals and an early Mad Monday. The good news is that the Broncos run home isn't difficult by any stretch:

Round 23 - Friday , August 13
Broncos vs Eels, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

Round 24 - Friday , August 20
Knights vs Broncos, EnergyAustralia Stadium, Newcastle

Round 25 - Friday , August 27
Warriors vs Broncos, Mt Smart Stadium, Auckland, NZ

Round 26 - Friday , September 03
Broncos vs Raiders, Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane

The Eels are going to present an interesting challenge - everyone knows about their run home from last season and they will be keen to replicate it this season. I hate to break it to you Parra fans but this isn't your year. The Hayne Train has been about as reliable as Queensland Rail - absolutely useless in other words.

The Knights should be a piece of cake - provided our forwards lay the platform, our experienced halves should dominate the pairing of Mullen and Gidley. Pro tip Newcastle - Gidley is a fullback. Really need to watch out for their wingers however - Uate and Vuna conjure memories of Big Dell and Lote back in the day.

Warriors away isn't fun for anyone - the fog, rain and away crowd is brutal for even the best. This game will be the real acid test before finals - the Warriors are in an almost identical spot at the moment. Their results in recent weeks have been sub-par but if you look at the side they have, they can unleash at any point.

The last game before finals is Canberra at Suncorp. I get really nervous before playing Canberra, I'm still scarred by the beating we copped last season. If we don't beat Canberra we don't deserve to be in finals and that's that.

It's game on now boys - time to show the world what you are made of.
