NEWS The night before losing 58-0 to the Eels, the Broncos were … at the pub

[Unbreakable]

Yeah, it's gonna be a no from me dawg.

Literally, what difference does it make what they were doing with themselves the night before the game? As long as they're not being a nuisance or hindering their ability to perform when it comes to the game, who cares what they do with their free time? None of them were drinking, and they were all reportedly back at the hotel before midnight.

That's not the reason we lost 58-0.

 

[MagicMan87]

Not gonna be a player left in the entire Comp if teams let go of players who go out the night before games.....

 

[Kyall]

I just read that Milford isn’t in the Samoa 9s side, he really has had a year to forget especially since he was captain.

He's probably getting surgery?

 

[theshed]

hopefully he turned down rep honours to train hard for the broncos

he'll probably be playing in the test matches instead... our Nines side is different to our test side

 

[Nashy]

He's probably getting surgery?

Lap band?

 

[Super Freak]

He's probably getting surgery?

There was a report earlier in the year after that knee injury that he would require surgery and that the Broncos were putting it off until the off-season.

 

[Alec]

You know what they say, it's not a real pre-season without a Milford surgery.

 

[Unbreakable]

You know what they say, it's not a real pre-season without a Milford surgery.

Also gives him an excuse for being overweight to start the season, he probably looks forward to surgery.

Pain killers + Maccas

Milford: I need another shoulder reconstruction.
Doctor: Anthony, we've looked at your X-Ray's several times, your shoulder is fine structurally
Milford: Please

Sucks for Samoa. They're really getting left behind now with the rise of Tonga in the International game.

Payne Haas reveals what really happen on Broncos’ infamous ‘pokies’ night
Several Brisbane players were slammed for a late night poker machine session before their record finals loss to Parramatta, but Payne Haas says those reports are way off the mark.

• Uncle Inglis lures gun nephew to Rabbitohs
• Historic New York league bid to attract NRL stars
• Moylan switch to kickstart NRL transfer market

Brisbane’s Payne Haas has revealed he and his Broncos teammates left their Sydney hotel on the eve of their crucial finals match against Parramatta looking for ice cream not to play poker machines.
Haas, Anthony Milford, David Fifita, Corey Oates, Matt Gillett and Andrew McCullough were spotted in a pub the night before the Eels thrashed the Broncos 58-nil in week one of the finals series.
The boom Bronco said he regretted the decision to go to a Surry Hills pub but has defended his teammates of any wrongdoing.

The Australian Test forward told The Daily Telegraph some of the reports on the incident, one of which stated Fifita played poker machines until after 11pm, were off the mark.
“I saw some stories that said the boys were out until 12am but that wasn’t true because I was there as well,” he said.
“We had massages at 8pm so we all left [the venue] before 8 o’clock. So I’m not sure where 12am came from.
“But we were all mainly out to get an ice cream and we went in quickly. We were there for 15 minutes or so … obviously we shouldn’t be doing that. But if we won, it would not have been a problem. It’s something we would take back if we could.”

Haas, who will make his Kangaroos debut against New Zealand on Friday night, also revealed Broncos players were forced to sit through a review the morning after being dismantled at the hand of the Eels at Bankwest Stadium last month.
“We had reviews the day after, I was pretty gutted, we all were with the way we bowed out. No one intends to lose a game that way but it wasn’t our day. We spoke about it, we know what we have to do and it’s something that has all the boys already keen to start pre-season,” Haas said.

Bet the icecream was Milford's idea.

 

[Sproj]

Ice cream? Does Milf need ice cream?

No more ice cream the night before a game. In fact they should all take a no ice cream pact for next season. It could be the difference other clubs will never think of.

 

[Culhwch]

Yeah, I know when I'm keen for an icecream I walk straight past the local Baskins and head straight for the pub. All makes sense now.

 

[Morkel]

Broncos were at a pub for 15 minutes and back in camp by 8pm - media goes fucking nuts.

Storm player starts a brawl that had already been cooled down - media says he's a hero and saved his friend's life.

Brawl was in the off season though. Imagine if the broncos had an ice cream and also started a brawl outside the pub before a finals game....
