Excitement:

First game for the season for both Justin Hodges and Ben Hannant. We are, of coarse, hoping that they have a good first game and that their injuries are behind them.

The team, all in all, looks like an impressive one, and we are under the opinion that it is one that has the ability to conjure up some serious magic!

Caution needed:

Most Broncos fans seems to think this will be an easy win for the Broncos, but having Titans come off two losses isn't going to mean we'll have it easy. Oh no. Never, ever count a team out when the spotlight is burning a hole on them.

Players To Watch:

Ben Hannant - Back from injury it's going to be interesting to see how he goes. We're hoping his calf will hold up well.

Justin Hodges - Also back from injury. Also going to be interesting. We're hoping his hamstring and Achilles tendon is up for it!

Players In Need Of Improvement:

Not sure. There were some overall issues with the ball handling, oddly enough even from Darren Lockyers side, but there isn't any one player that needs improving as such.

Estimated Outcome:

No way of telling. Obviously I am going to say the Broncos will win, but I think it's going to be tough. The Titans are going to be revved up after two losses and wanting to prove themselves. HOWEVER, if the Broncos defense is as good as it was last week, and the ball handling is a little cleaner, and with the addition of Hannant and Hodges, I think Broncos will win. How much by, you may ask? I have no idea.

Other:

Unfortunately Scott Anderson will not be back until round 6, at the earliest. We're hoping his calf will heal quickly.

Go The Broncos!
