"A tough loss to ignite the fire" - that's poetic genius!mxlegend99 wrote:Broncos had 8 day turnaround from a tough game

I think Broncos by far had the ideap preparation for the game. Plenty of time to fully recover. A tough loss to ignite the fire. Another close game to make certain they showed up.
Oh and the home ground advantage doesn't hurt.
Raiders had an easy game... so they were never really tested. They had a short turnaround so they didnt get to prepare aswell as Broncos and ontop of that they had to travel interstate to play.
Call me crazy but I would prefer to be in the Broncos position. They get the most generous draw in general.
What!
mx logic:
An easy win = bad.
A tough loss = good.
Ever heard of the term "played them into form"? They must have meant that term to be used for a team that had a tough game and not an easy win, right?
We must have played Melbourne into form on Sunday, oh wait they looked terrible. So how does this theory of tough games putting teams in better positions hold up? Not well, Storm even had the extra days rest to go along with the tough match up the previous round. We can also go to the last round when the Cowboys faced Manly the week after playing the Broncos - again, longer period of rest after a tough match-up. Bzzzzzzzzzzzzzt.
You're talking absolute rubbish and it's no surprise TAFE boy is blindly following you without thinking about it. You can't just have one rule and apply it to everything. The NRL is one hell of a fickle competition, we know this by how tough it is to tip.
By the way I guess the Panthers are fucked this weekend, apparently. They had an easy win and although the Storm looked pretty bad for long periods, the important thing was that they had a difficult game above all else. (In reality, smashing the Knights probably does mean very little, but it most certainly can't hurt.)
