Suncorp Stadium is known as rugby league’s greatest stage, but Warriors coach Andrew Webster stressed that his side isn’t daunted by the prospect of playing there. The famous park holds 50,000 and the majority will be cheering on the Broncos in Saturday night’s NRL preliminary final, although a large contingent of New Zealanders are expected to be making their presence felt.<\/p>\n
“Daunted is you’re scared of it, and we’re not daunted at all,” Webster said to media at Go Media Mt Smart Stadium.<\/p>\n
“The biggest thing for us is that we respect whoever we play\u2026we know (the Broncos) are a good side but we don’t fear them. If you fear them then you’re beaten before you even get there.”<\/p>\n
The Broncos certainly deserve that respect, finishing second in the 2023 NRL regular season, racking up 18 wins and six losses.<\/p>\n
