Dreading a 7th finish and having to play Souffs. I know we've beaten them twice already but they are a different team with Latrell, and are in good form as opposed to our garbage.

Really, really dirty about the past couple of weeks, we could have had a top 4 pretty much locked in by now with the 2nd chance + 1 home final that provides, yet here we are almost scrapping for our spot in the 8 and looking likely to have to play a hot Sydney team in Sydney. I think week 1 is unfortunately the end of our season this year.

I'm thinking we finish between 4th and 6th, so we'll get at least one home game. Out of the current top 8, would prefer to play Sharks or Parra in the first week.
 
I mean we lost to Melboure twice in 2006 too...

Name a side that's had 60 put on them and won a premiership.
 
Santa, you have some explaining to do.

In fairness, remember that the Storm looked as bad as s just a few short weeks ago.

Yep, remember when Bellamy had the shits and couldn’t think of a way to get out of the losing rut?

Apparently scoring 60 points against your opposition, occurred to him after that interview… 🤣
 
For a little perspective... if someone had told us before the year started that we'd go from wooden spoon contenders to top 8 then I think we'd have been pleased and consider the season a success. (I certainly would have)

I think the team over-achieving and getting hot in the middle of the year and looking like a Top 4 side for a few weeks is probably the only thing that is now making a top 8 finish seem like a disappointment and failure.

I don't think we were as good as we looked during that period, but I do think that we're heading in that direction and next year we should be targetting a top 4 finish. I think we're all so used to Broncos being a top 4 side that when we slipped back in we all felt like everything was right again and the last few years were just a horrible nightmare and things are now back to normal - the reality is a little more sobering and it's going to take some more time before we're back where we should be... but we've come a LONG way already and showed some very positive signs for the future.

I'm not excusing the late season form / effort of this team over the last few weeks, which has been shocking and disgraceful and has left a bitter taste in all our mouths about this season... but we knew that this was a young team starting a rebuild and there would be inconsistency and ups / downs. Getting back into the finals and laying the foundation for a proper shot at the title next year may not be the miraculous turnaround we all thought we were witnessing after the Parra game, but it's still a big improvement from last year and holds us in good stead moving forward, even if there have been some very disappointing elements to the year.
 
I think the painful part is that the team was firing very well mid season. Irrespective of injuries and rep duties. The team did play better than what we are at now. Overall when firing is a top 5 team.
