shouldn't even be in this position. The Knights game where we were cheated out of it should have ensured we play finals.

If Thaiday is successful in his fight to downgrade his charge then you can forget the NRL's stamp down on crusher tackles.

The Broncos have to fight it. Their season is on the line and they need every top line player available to them, so I can appreciate that.

But the judiciary have to rule him out as well. We have seen a bunch of these crusher tackles that are pure accidents. But in the name of consistency (not a word the judiciary are familiar with, granted), they have to suspend him.

Crushers have been treated like careless high tackles. No malice. No intent. But you just can't get yourself in those situations when tackling a player.

Personally I don't think he should be suspended nor do I think a bunch of other people should have been suspended this year due to crushers... but they can't change the rules now just because it's finals time and the Broncos "really need him".

He is going to fight it. I almost positive he will get off. It is the Broncos and the NRL and Channel nine want the Broncos in the finals, always do.

The last time we won a penalty count was Round 15 against the Eels where we won the count 8-7.

We will not win the penalty count on Friday night either. The Broncos never loose the penalty count makes no difference if they are play away or at home, just like us.

Better than Hayne or Klein.

I know a few people here don't like him but I like Badger.

Same team named as last week. Bellamy confirmed earlier in the week that no players are under an injury cloud and Kenny's elbow is all good for this week (if picked).

Should expect changes again this week ahead of kick-off.

Possibly Kenny, Junior and Juz in for Weston, Glasby and Sisa. Likely just Kenny for Weston.

Sam Thaiday has been found guilty by the judiciary and will miss Friday night's game v Storm.

I can not believe he did not get off. Do they know he plays for the Broncos and origin is over.
