But what's your thoughts about the big serve, Gerard?

I tend to think the Lions are more likely to recover because they're probably a tighter group.

The Broncos are in an identical position to where they were this time last year, five wins, seven losses, and they won from there.

And, Gerard, here's the most bizarre statistic of the weekend.

The Dragons have played Brisbane three times at Suncorp in the last three years, and each time the score's been the same.

You can't believe that, can you?

No, you can't.

And they've just feathered their way to victory, the Dragons.

But I'd be very surprised if the Broncos won this year.

Last year taught us you can only really have one miracle online.

Reece Walsh walked with the gods with the Broncos in the final series last year.

You can only do that once.

There was all these things that had to add up, balls hitting posts and not going over, which would have cost them a position, which produced an easier final.

There were so many things that needed to go in place.

The Broncos, to me, have not got a system that's repeatable enough

They rely on the big play all the time, the miracle play, where the lines are more systematic.

And they've been anchored in the top eight, haven't they, for about six or seven years.

three grand finals in a row.

So slightly more likely, I would say, but I wouldn't want my money on either of them at this stage, would you?

It's still too soon to ask about it.
