Here is what some of the Bomber fans had to say…..
Robyn Carrick from Tasmania says: We can definitely beat Brisbane and it would be a great way to start the season and also to silence the so-called critics about us not being around in September.
Ashley Barber from Perth says: Brisbane will start as hot favourites, but in a two horse race there is no such thing as a sure thing. The Bombers will have to put a lot of pressure on the Brisbane player, one on one, and if they can do this for four quarters they can win. First game of the season may well be the best time to catch Brisbane out.
Allycat from Canterbury says: Even though Brisbane won the grand final 2 years in a row does not mean they will dominate every round of season 2003. The bombers have a new team, which means a new winning attitude!
Crazyman from Minto says: I do believe that we have the list to beat the Lions, however, we will need to be on the very top of our game to come away with the points.
Joel Ganino from Westmeadows says: Of course we can...we have a really exciting side developing and sheeds and the guys know what they're doing go dons!
Leanne Singh from Hampton Park says: As in the past, Brisbane has proved to be slow starters. Even though they are unfurling their flag, I feel we have a good change of winning.
Penny Wyatt from Eight Mile Plains says: IF we believe, we can do anything. We need to field the strongest possible side, and silence a few critics. Geelong proved they can be beaten, it is anyone's season.
Joseph Vandenberghe from Bli Bli says: It would seem that a lot of people have underestimated the Bombers this year. I 'm sure that the younger players will stand up and more than cover the loss of the former players. Bombers by three goals.
Adrian says: Blind optimism at its finest! Almost 80% polled think we will win? Sometimes you have to be realistic, and without Fletcher ... we have no chance. Our performances without him are testament to this.
Adrian Betts from Chirnside Park says: Yeah we can win, we have to play at our best and with Fletch out our backline will be stretched, but we have the quality to beat anyone.
Tim Bristow from Wagga Wagga says: I think if the team plays to the best of its ability we can definitely beat Brisbane. I am expecting a very hard, physical game. If Lloyd and Hird have a good game then we should go pretty far to beating them. Damian Cupido could be the difference between the two sides.
