Broncos looking good out there

This year I've felt a strange feeling, a new feeling. This feeling occurs almost once a week, with a notable exception at the start of the season. It was absent all of last year and was only really experienced regularly in 2008. What is this feeling you ask? Waking up the morning after the Broncos games not wanting to kill yourself because, heaven forbid, the Broncos are doing quite well in the NRL.

The Broncos are top of the table, equal with the Dragons, and are showing signs that conjure memories of 2006 when we last won the title. Obviously it's early days and I don't want to jinx it by announcing that we are front runners to the title but I will say that we are travelling quite well. Origin as always is going to be a test as we're likely to be missing Lockyer, Thaiday, Hannant, Hodges and possibly Yow Yeh and Wallace (but probably not the latter).

In other news, we're no longer under the radar in terms of our defence. We are the #1 defensive team in the NRL currently and are conceding only 1.5 tries a game. This has led to some analysis on our defensive game and trying to find holes - provided the Broncos continue to work for each other and muscle up when it matters, no amount of homework can stifle this defence. That article is a pretty good read and is written by Jason Taylor..

This Friday we take on the Bulldogs which is fire vs. ice in theory - the best defensive team against one of the best attacking teams in the NRL. Bring it on!
