Not that much out of context... why does Boyd need to do a novel personal celebration, generating a joyous reaction, on the evening when the Broncos were 50/50 at best at receiving the first wooden spoon in their history.
His whole attitude - "footy is just my job not my life / identity" -...
Guys a full clean out of mediocrity is what we need. We are the Broncos, the Man United of the NRL... but haven't won a premiership in 12 seasons!! When I was a kid the Broncos were genuine title contenders every year.
Now we have lost our aura and think close enough is good enough... we must...
I read today that the Eels are shopping around Corey Norman. If we could get him on a bargain buy (i.e. Parra to pay half his salary), what do you think of bringing him back to the Broncos?
Halves pairing of Milford and Norman (Niko bench hooker playing 30mins) would be very dangerous IMO.
Sam must have a personal issue with Corey or perhaps too great a personal rivalry to name him... maybe spilling from the captaincy controversies of a few years ago? There is just no chance any objective or subjective judge would have Ben Teo, Boyd Cordner and Shaun Berrigan as better back rowers...
The way Sam has expressed himself, ie on social media imo is not very professional, however I can understand why he'd be upset.
The fact he didn't get a phone call shows just how far off the selectors' radar he truly was. It's almost like his name was never even considered and nobody even...
Sloppy game, but a lot to like imo...
Hunt trying to go through the line several times, throwing adventurous passes etc... Showing he has some confidence back which is key to the finals.
Roberts getting more involved even if he was a bit hit and miss; Kahu looking fit and engaged; Glenn...
Lol... doesn't matter how big or strong you think you are, if you have three or four bouncers who are equally as big and strong each twisting wrists, elbows and shoulders into pressure positions, you are stuffed mate.
On Roberts... about three or four weeks ago - it was a Saturday night after a...
Field goals by nature are chaotic, often happening in the dying stages of a game or golden point where pressure is high and the defence is onto it.
Milf has slotted more than those other dudes because he's taken two or three 'for practice' ie when the game was already won.
People have short memories. Would anyone want Wallace, Prince, Norman, Hoffman (!!), Gillett, Seymour, Tony Carroll, Shane Perry et al... back in our halves.
There was a time when an untested Kahu was training all preseason to be our 5/8 (before doing his knee or achilles from memory).
Since...
We already had that game lost when our young forwards struggled against an enthusiastic Tigers pack playing well above their pay grade. Perhaps our youngsters were believing in the pre-game odds or were taken by surprise, but they definitely didn't provide the right platform for Hunt and Milf to...
Re. Kodi and being likely to leave next year...
I was thinking the same thing, especially if he watches his kid brother play well in a starting half position at the chooks this year... No way will he be happy to stay a bench utility you'd think...
Just noticed my error in the earlier post... I meant Aaron Whitchurch... The CM has run stories on Eden, Whitchurch, Nicholls... clearly trying to appease Broncos tragics with whatever off-season 'news' they can drum up.
Nonetheless, I'd be surprised if any of the three get any real run. Maybe...
Hey guys hoping some of you well travelled folk can help me...
I'll be in London on Saturday and was hoping to watch the Broncs smash the cows via a pub somewhere and not on my phone.
I know the walkabout and others have the grand final, but does anyone know of a London venue that will...
I find it interesting that Kahu has seemingly jumped Copley for any outside back position.
You'd think it should be in this pecking order:
Fullbacks - Boyd, Kahu, Maranta, Nikorima, Eden
Wingers - Kahu, Maranta/Vidot (equal-ish)
Centres: Hodges, Reed, Copley
But instead Dale appears...
I still respect Tallis as a player and I guess his strong convictions and courage to speak his mind are somewhat commendable...
I'd still shake his hand and have a chat if I met him... but seriously he is making a fool and a bit of a pig of himself of late.
Every time he is a commentator on...
It's difficult to judge too many individual performances, or call for mass changes off a game like that. Opposition was on, our attack not gelling at all, way too many errors and penalties, pretty poor kicking game etc. Most of the backline were just quiet, well covered and couldn't get into the...
Honestly, some of you guys are just incredible.. imagine if Maranta, after (potentially) working his butt off all season to improve on his speed, handling, hitups and finishing... plays very well in the WCC, impresses the best coach in the game and wins his spot... only for you lot to crucify...
