Analysis:

I’m looking at this game with an extremely suspicious side-eye, punters, I’ve gotta be honest with ya. The Roosters 24 tries in the past three games makes the Broncos measly 14 seem pitiful – until you realize that 11 of those Roosters tries were put through the sentient, rugby league-playing tissue paper currently calling itself the St.George Dragons. 

The Broncos, while maintaining a generous two try minimum to opponents for literally fucking years, are going to be a lot more to handle than the Dragons, but then again the Bronx had 7 tries put on them by the Eels of all cunts. So it’s a possibility that they get thoroughly touched up by the Roosters, but I don’t know exactly where the tries are going to come from outside of Robert Toia, because Brisbane have been fairly hostile to all CTW positions except right centres, and the Roosters wingers have scored the bulk of their points so far. 

Either way there WILL be a decent amount of tries in this game. For all the shit I heap on Horse about their 2 try minimum, the Roosters are yet to give up less than 3 in a game in 2026. We’re looking at a floor of 5 here, my beloveds, use your fucking brain and clean out your nominated wagering outlet for me.
