Yep he was largely ineffective when he did manage to get a game. No fault of his though - he's just way back in the pecking order for positions...

Most cut at losing Te'o. His second half of the season has been exceptional and the Rabbitohs have bought a very good player. Beale was great for us at fullback last year and I'm disappointed he hasn't had the opportunity to get back there at times this season. He is shaky at times under the...

I concur. Have no doubt probably half the team is playing busted and this has really affected our second half of the season. We cruelled ourselves with errors that lead directly to Cowboys tries and by giving the ball right back to them when we did manage to score... It was pretty amateurish in...

Do you mean Saxxon Rice (Member for Mt Coot-tha) who gave the speech? On the match itself - not a lot we can take from it apart from the two points. Some good flashes from Wallace and Norman (especially that last pass for Glenn) but it's more the exception than the norm which is still a...

Agree - finals are a leap above a regular season game and up in Townsville the home ground advantage doesn't really exist given how many Broncos fans are always there. Still the Cowboys should go in as deserved favourites.

btw: any inside word on the likely crowd for Friday? In Monday's The Courier Mail they were anticipating 50,000+ but given our form and the fact we're only playing Penrith I can't see it happening - even if it is Pet's farewell. If we manage to crack 40k I'll be seriously impressed.

Yep there was confidence aplenty from rounds 1-10. Griffen is right when he says it will only take a win for it all to come flooding back. Now if we can just nab that win...

We probably shouldn't be that surprised that Griffen has gone back to the team that was working earlier this season. He's clearly got a lot of faith. I'm just not sure what the consequences are if this team fails to fire on Friday. If Norman can't manufacture any genuine opportunities does that...

I'd give us a chance against Souths but not Manly. Even playing them at the SFS wouldn't change my thinking.

Re: Sack Griffin Yeah baby. State of Origin is the best type of football but I'm more invested in the Broncos than I could ever be in Queensland. Hence why I think SoO needs to be played after the Grand Final or on stand alone weekends.

He's still pretty optimistic from what I've read. Reckons we can give the finals a shake if we manage to sneak in. I'm not so sure......

Re: Sack Griffin do tell...

Re: Sack Griffin I usually check the game thread before the post match thread but haven't bothered of late. Same shit different week.

Re: Sack Griffin LOL our supporters are sore losers. A season in the doldrums will really separate the diehards from the fairweathers.

Re: Sack Griffin And there was plenty of effort tonight even though the players spent most of the night looking clueless at how to breach the Manly defence.

Re: Sack Griffin Ridiculous thread. Maybe blow off some steam and see how you feel in the morning? The injuries, post origin hangover and complete loss of confidence have all hindered us during the last two months. There's no magic fix but there was some magic there earlier this season and...

Unfortunately it's a real step backwards from the last two weeks. Manly were great in the first half and didn't give us a sniff but like most games we had our chances but just couldn't get anything cooking in attack. At the moment the high kick to the wingers looks like the 'go to' play with not...

FWIW I thought Norman was standing too flat anyway. Almost certain any field goal attempt would have been successfully charge down. Of course we might have gotten the ball back but I've moved on and already forgotten about it.

Last year brus - and we all got to play on the field afterwards too

But even that mini comeback only came about due to the raised forearm that clocked Thiaday. Prior to that we weren't even in the contest. Agree we need someone to step up and drag us back when things aren't going our way. It probably starts in the forwards with a couple of big charges up the middle.
