SYDNEY ROOSTERS Vs BRISBANE BRONCOS
So the Broncos have removed their “cancer” – what a wonderful way to display how awful your club is running than to deliver that analogy. The Broncos players have the chance to show that the problems at the club are all about the coach with a big performance on Friday night, but the quality of the opposition, the result last time out, and the pea-hearted efforts they have put in since lockdown mean that the misery will probably continue. Perhaps they should get one of those Ikea racks out the front to neatly organise the returned jerseys from fans.
QUICK MATCH FACTS
- Looking at Head-to-Head you almost need forget all historical stats, as this Broncos team are historically bad.
- Broncos haven’t beaten a Sydney side in Sydney since July last year.
- Brisbane also haven’t won an away game since beating the Cowboys in March. Six straight losses since.
- Brisbane’s record against the Roosters is normally okay, since 2015 their winning % is 53%.
- The Roosters have lost just three of 16 home games versus Queensland opposition. The Cowboys have two of those wins.
- One potential weak point for the Roosters could be Friday games versus Queensland opposition. They have lost four of the last five, and just ten of 26 matches since 1998.
- Who could believe that a Broncos side would go into any game with odds of $11.00 and 25.5 points start. But they have earned those outsider odds.
- It’s probably true the Broncos have been better in recent weeks and Roosters not quite as good, and the Broncos should have something to play for, so surely the Broncos can lose by less than 25.5.
- Total points is interesting, the 46.5 mark has been too much for just three of the 13 games since 2015, and one of them was the freak 59-0 Roosters win earlier this season.
- Roosters have averaged 22 points in their last six games, and the Broncos are averaging 14 points for the entire season.
- Both sides score 50% less in the second half than the first on average this season, so take the first half for highest scoring for sure.
- With the Broncos clocking off early every week, you can’t take them for last try scorer. Not for twice in 15 matches. The Roosters are just over 50% for last try scored.
- Roosters have provided the first try scorer on ten occasions this season compared to Broncos six. And how can you go past Brett Morris to do the job first.
- Kotoni Staggs seems like the only Broncos player trying every week, and so is a great chance to score anytime. And who wouldn’t love one of his tries from last week anytime.
- Why not double up on Brett Morris to score last too. A Brett Morris bookend is more likely than any Bronco scoring last.
