Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3500008, member: 8255"] I don't understand this. We're forgiven for playing like dog shit for 50 minutes because the other team wants to win? I'm sorry, but that's garbage. You don't think other teams go hard at the Panthers, the two-time Premiers? Or the Storm, as payback for their decade of dominance over pretty much everyone? Or the Roosters and their extra few million in the salary cap? Of course the other team wants to win, you don't make it in the NRL if you're not super competitive. None of that has anything to do with the Broncos performance. The first half was atrocious. [URL='https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/match-centre/NRL20230706/stats']Look at the stats yourself.[/URL] I don't think expecting more from both the team and coaching staff, as a fan, is too much. We need to be improving every week and I'm sorry, I'm just not seeing it. We look lost inside the opposition's 20m. We are still not respecting the football. We are still starting slow (well, our first set of 6 was brilliant and then we took the foot off the pedal) and conceding the first try. My point remains, if we come up against a Storm or Penrith - who are also lifting because they want to prove they're top dog - playing the way we have been, we will get spanked. There's a lot of good in what we're doing this year, but there's still an awful amount of stuff we need to fix. I'd like to think we play better against the better sides, but I'm not convinced yet. I'm not being pessimistic for the sake of it, I can see some real complacency creeping in and it bothers me. Sure we have the firepower to blitz most teams but without the composure to match it, I fear the good teams will make us look second rate. Like Canberra did last week. This team is better than that, I just want them to be the best they can be - because I don't know if any other team in the comp can go with us at our best. [/QUOTE]
