Pretty keen for this game. Both sides have exceeded expectations thus far as most tipped them to really struggle. However Dragons are 3 from 3 with Widdop being in top form and Broncos are 2 from 3, only just missing out on a perfect record against the current premiers last week. Should be a cracker, heart says Broncos by 10, however head thinks Dragons by 4.
Key for the Dragons is to run all their early plays up the guts, then shift their attack to the fringes of the ruck. Our 2nd rowers over defend and don't slide out quick enough to cover their edges. If I was to make a bet; it would be for Creagh to pick up at least 1 try. They should also keep possession as close as possible, as Broncos do struggle to score points, even with decent possession. If they can hold onto at least 45% of the pill, they'll probably win it.
Not really sure why, but I think the Broncos will get up. Did I also hear Dugan might be a late inclusion?
Broncs will get up. Fair play to St George on a good start but they've played mugs the first three weeks. Watching them last week I wasn't very impressed.
Broncos kind of went away from what was working there. Need to just play simple direct football and they'll win easy.
Wtf was the forward pass call from Hunt to Glenn? Broncos have done like 4 deadset forward ones since too, without being pinged...
