Man feels like forever since I've seen a team I support win a game of football

It’s been a full month, or 7 games

Broncos and QLD men or women haven’t won anything since we beat the Dogs
 
- Two weeks leading in to the Tigers game I had cold and flu symptoms
- The night before the game I had a pain in my right side but didn't think much of it
- I was coughing up more blood (so implies he was already doing this) and so went to hospital and they picked up the clots
- I was on anti-virals because the doctors thought I had a viral infection and then pneumonia
- I drove myself to hospital actually and then had to get myself to emergency and stayed there 9 days
- They still not know what caused it but I'm very lucky and the hospital took after me really well
- The tests are ongoing to find out what caused it, they still don't know it
- Yes I lost 8-10kg and my lungs were full of fluid
- I plan to be back but need to go through a process, need to be on blood thinners for three months and then go from there
- Retirement hasn't crossed my mind at all but the blood thinners make contract stuff difficult of course
- I'm still keeping up my training as much as possible
- Not sure when that will be but that's what I'm working toward it
- The physical side was tough at first but now it is the mental side because not knowing what caused it is tough
- I can only control what I can control
- I'm trying to get back as close to my playing fitness as much as possible but we won't know how things will be until the three month period
- No past history with these things but the difference with last year is it was trauma induced last year but this one just formed in the lungs it seems, it is a different case, its strange
- I am a sports scientist yes and understand how the body works but to not know why it happens is a bit annoying but I've been around the game long enough to know all I can do is what I can do
- Seeing Deine up and running around is unreal and we are both doing everything we can to be back out on the field, we want to be out with the main group and get back there as soon as possible
- Something about more members and fans, etc
- Something about a bigger stadium

And we're done.
 

- Feel good, credit to the physios and medical staff
- Very excited to be back and yeah they've been cautious, I could have played last week but wanted to be ready for this game and so feeling really fresh
- I've been observing from the outside and looking at where I and we can improve on
- Discipline and intensity is the key, we need to improve in both these areas
- If we can fix these things, it should help us win the game
- It was helpful having a ref here and we usually have one every week anyway
- Origin nonsense
- Just wanted to be right for the Broncos first and foremost, origin will take care of itself
- More origin nonsense
- I'm 100%, raring to go
- Piakura will help with aggression in defense, he gives you lots of confidence when he's out there
- Marty's a special person so seeing him go through what he's going through ahs been tough but happy to see him on the mend
- He'll be back in two weeks I reckon (joking)
- We fell away from what is Broncos footy and that is what we want to get back to and if we do so, the result will take care of itself
- We'll cross that bridge when it comes to it when it comes to finals footy
- Maybe our prep hasn't been the best coming in to games and we will do our best this week
- Lang Park is the best stadium to play at
- Israel Leota is killing it in union and that's exciting and I'm happy for him - no idea why this was bought up
- Would love to see Leota bought back, would love to have him come back into league
 
There is no reason that we should win this by 50. I have a feeling Walsh is going to have a huge game.
 
I promise to stay away from the hot dogs 🌭 I am going to have lunch before going to suncorp then it will be 2 games done 2 remaining
 
Reece Walsh to get a hat trick but won’t be a blowout scoreline. 2 players just back from injury and a few backing up…..38-18.
 
55-5 or 66-6
Ooooh GIF
