At the start of each season the "pundits" can't resist making various predictions about the year ahead which is pretty gutsy given the nature of our game. I can never remember who said what but, now retired and confined to my cell during this bout of pestilence, I have the time to track one such...
Just wanted to take a minute to give a big shout-out to those unsung heroes ... the Suncorp ground-staff. How lucky we are to have that amazing stadium as our home ground and she's taken a beating over the past couple of years thanks to Covid, but those guys keep presenting an awesome playing...
For those who can remember .. I watch Ethan Bullemor and I see shades of Alan Cann .. why would we let him go and in the same breath be looking at Napa and James ... I thought we'd shaken off this madness.
Hope this isn't too far off-topic and maybe it's just me but I'm glad the guy left the Broncs, every time the Titans play you'd think it was the David Fifita Show and yet he seems to contribute little in terms of effort. Watched him get owned in the Storm game last night .. if I was a GC fan I'd...
It's really sad that one minute we're ragging people for "selling their soul" etc and leaving the club for more cash when they're still wet behind the ears ... then I read endless comments like "thank f*****g god" that a one-club man is hanging up his boots. It beggars belief. It's often more...
I think in Tyson Gamble we have a diamond in the rough. He's hardly had any opportunity to build a reputation through injury etc and I, for one, knew next to nothing about him until this season. He has a good kicking game, his defence is good and he has that 'pest' factor that is needed in every...
"This jumper means a lot to me (tears) as a kid I always dreamed about making my debut (tears) and to make it at this club (more tears) it really means a lot to me (sniffle) I've been working really hard to get where I am today and without all you guys being so welcoming and the coaching staff...
I agree totally mate and this merry-go-round of young talent being nurtured by the club only to be lost is something that I, like many others, have whinged about for years. But the more I think about it and try to figure out the reasons why this happens with such regularity and we're forced to...
That's for sure, can't bear to think about it. Equally if he gets smashed (which I hope he doesn't) those same media hacks will be all over the selectors for putting the kid into the Origin cauldron in the first place.
A lot of vitriol in this thread ... and I must admit I haven't read every single post but (in the many I've read) not a single comment about the coaches ... there are the three of them Walters, Matterson, Cartwright ... wtf are they doing down there ??? Isaako is playing like a one-legged blind...
If we don't throw the kitchen sink at landing Dufty and miss another opportunity ... then it's pitchforks out and we march on Red Hill, find the dope responsible , lash him to a stake out the front of the Berghofer Centre and pelt him with stale meat pies till he sees the error of his ways !!!
That's true mate and I wouldn't be picking Fifita for the same reason ... based on his form this season he's there purely on the strength of his press-clippings and the golden child he's reputed to be not on any consistent, stand-out performances.
Just watching Sharks v Titans and, you know what, I was pretty pissed when Fifi took his thirty pieces of silver and trundled down the M1 ... but now, good riddance, fat and lazy, second man into tackles and can't tackle for peanuts. Stands around waiting for the ball like he's entitled to it...
Some goon at Fox writes "Storm star shows Broncs what they're missing in audition for Red Hill" .. is he serious, does he think we don't know every single gut-wrenching week what we're missing when we see the likes of Fifita, Welch, Walker and pretty soon Dearden running around in someone else's...
Mate there's another unconfirmed rumour going around .. early moves, Dearden to Cowboys, Granville to Tigers, Walters to Broncs ... just make sure you have a chair when the friggin' music stops !!
