Brisbane Broncos vs. Sydney Roosters Preview

In an eventful week, Wayne Bennett appeased all the intrusive idiots by announcing he has signed with Newcastle for 4 years. Best of luck to him and them for the future, he should be able to do good things there. Closer to home, the Broncos are taking on the Roosters Saturday night and the side will look this..


1. Gerard Beale
2. Dale Copley
3. Jack Reed
4. Justin Hodges
5. Jharal Yow Yeh
6. Darren Lockyer
7. Peter Wallace
8. Ben Hannant
9. Anthony McCullough
10. Sam Thaiday
11. Alex Glenn
12. Matt Gillett
13. Corey Parker

14. Mitchell Dodds
15. Dane Carlaw
16. Nick Kenny
17. Corey Norman

Te'o is a late withdrawal due to breaking his arm and that means a shift of Jack Reed to Centre and Dale Copley into the spare wing spot. Dane Carlaw is named which is interesting, there will be many sets of eyes on him during the game to see if he's up to scratch. Great to see Nick Kenny back as well, he's a hard worker that keeps on rolling forward no matter what.

The real question is can we win this game? The Roosters haven't been firing on all cylinders lately but they are still averaging 22.4 points in attack. Our ace in the hole is the fact they are still conceding 20 points a game, which lets our somewhat misfiring attack get some points through hopefully. If we can head into half time with  a lead, we should be able to bring this home comfortably.

Predictions? 14-10 Broncos.
