Its not as bad as we think.
We lost by 2 points to the ladder leaders and beat last years premiers by one point.
When the dogs put the cleaners through us we were minus....
Sam Thiaday
Andrew McCollough

Those 5 players would make any first grade NRL side
Couple...
Macca in crucial to the broncs in defence, his herculean defensive efforts are irreplaceable. Someone mentioned before that that with Gillett missing the right side was atrocious yesterday, What about when Hofman ran straight at Roberts and Roberts thought he had the ball and stepped him, Hofman...
OK, I'm convinced, Bennant has lost the plot.
McGuire dummy half?
If he was any slower he'd be asleep.
And those of you that have suggested Hunt should be No9, watch is defence, he goes high every time, he would be monsted in the middle of the park.
Speed, blistering acceleration. If he is given a roving commission he will cause havoc. I too thought it was a dumb selection at first but now I'm not so sure.
And yet Gillette has made 1037 tackles and missed 59,
There are only 4 players in the NRL with more than 1000 tackles 2 of which are hookers. Its a specialist, defensive position these days.
Lucky for Hunt Gillette defends inside him, it wasnt by accident the Tigers ran all their plays at the...
Because ....
Hunt would be a speed hump at 9
He has made 548 tackles this year with 73 missed
Macca 1296 tackles, missing 35
Put him at 9 and there will be a lot of kick off practice.
His defence is nowhere good enough to be a 9
Macca's defence is superb as is his passing from D-H but lacks vision.
Seems to me that Kevvie looked after Hunt & Milf last year & both had a consistent year.
This year inconsistency is the issue, that & Hunts kicking game, It has been woeful from...
I'll bet Roberts is spewing he is at the Broncs, his strike rate is going backwards.
Last year the 2 halves were universally being announced as the new Kevvie & Alfie, They look more like heckle & jeckle this year.
Ive said it here from day one, Hunts kicking game is abysmal and it hasn't...
I wonder what would be harder, teaching Roberts to become a left side centre or teaching the halves there is a right side to the field.
Somebody said it earlier, Sharks played above there potential, Broncs below.
We were always going to lose that game with our 2 best defensive, possibly the...
If Barber was auditioning for the 5/8 position he just cemented his spot in the QLD cup.
For the most part the forwards matched it with Melb in defence but gee we lack go forward.
12 points was never going to be enough to beat Melb,
If there is no organisation in the middle you simply can't...
If only positional changes had have been made earlier we would not be in this position. How and why he persevered with Hoffman at 5/8 is bewildering and if he had have made the changes we would have been top 4 and he'd still have a job. 6 games we lost by less than 8 points and that Cronulla...
Waste of bloody money going to that game, I thought I was at the cricket.
I did see Hoffman pass the ball twice though.
Hunt did his mandatory backwards kick, could you imagine if he did play in the second state of origin game, its laughable that he was considered.
Penrith will make the 8 but...
A night of firsts......
I agreed with Hadley for the first time........The difference between the 2 sides was the kicking game. Hunt is a better player than I first thought but he cant kick.
And
I couldn't believe my eyes, Hofman actually passed the ball albeit after the siren and into touch...
Re: Benny Hunt.........The best Halfback in the game!
If Hunt was bigger he would probably make a good 13, as for his 7 ability, he can't kick and more often then not his passing is ill directed, watch next game and see how many drop balls he causes.
With decent halves the Broncs would win the comp it's as simple as that. The team is awesome and how they stay in the game(s) for as long as they do is amazing and says heaps about the charter of the players. Why Griffin perseveres with Hunt is beyond me, his kicking game is embarrassing...
