POST GAME [Round 17, 2026] - Broncos vs Roosters

[Kaz]

Also if I’m on Payne haas’s side how am I a racist? Given I’m a Caucasian?

You can be racist toward your own race. This is a recognized psychological and sociological concept known as internalised racism.

This is it I feel, the players that played last night that are simply not good enough for NRL for me are

Arthurs
P Riki
Gos
Talty
Rodgers (gives it a crack but isnt what we need)
Tawha

Scary thing is they are the bulk of the side next year. I dont think Madge is the problem, I think its the troops he has available but man he is starting to swing me towards he isnt the coach for us, when he arked up when asked about Semu playing, the kid has to be playing right now, we are props down and he isnt getting played, why not? Instead you play Gosiewski who do know if I have seen a less inspiring player play for the Broncos.

Our squad is so light on Troops, can anyone tell me, Te Kura he is back from that NFL stint? Is he playing QLD cup, its a guy like him too that so much has been invested in and absolutely nothing back, our props are screaming out for help and he is no where to be seen.

Then Walsh and Staggs, man when they are good they are good, then they are how they have been basically all year, scary thing is they are in the 'leadership' team. Probably speaks volumes of where we are as a club

He was bracing himself for contact. I think they need to differentiate between a bracing shoulder turn and a launching shoulder charge. They certainly shouldn’t have the same penalty for both.

I get where you are going with this but it would just be another subjective rule that the refs would just **** up.

 

[1910]

When the Roosters kicked off the second half Walsh was walking very slowly to towards the corner post with his back to the kick. He turned around when the ball was coming down.

Broncos are up 16-12 just heard from your coach and need a win.

The set ended with Walsh kicking it into the back of a Bronco and Broncos are under pressure again. Billy Smith scores two minutes later.

 

[Waynesaurus]

At full strength we are able to paper over the depth cracks, but this year with the injuries to our top 17 our depth and recruitment has been badly exposed, 1/3 of our squad just aren't good enough.

With two new teams coming into the comp in the next two years turning this around in the short term is going to be difficult, we are pretty screwed, the next few years could be tough.

Straight off the referee cheat sheet - 'Watch for Staggs racing up out of the line'

 

[Mister Wright]

duffy just seems like a genuine half back to me. Doesn’t have the running game to be 6. Maybe we need to transition Walsh to 6 if mam doesn’t progress.

Ironically the best Mam has looked this season was his 10 min stint at fullback against the Dragons.

“you put my family in jail you *****”.

Wonder if he still thinks that about his mum

How the hell is that dangerous

Yep needs to be a mass clean out of the deadwood. But will it happen
@1910 @ smoking Joe ? Or is madge to set in his ways. With his effort players …

 

[Mister Wright]

There was an instant pick up in speed when Mozer came on, delivery was crisp & fast, markers were engaged, players were actually running onto the ball. It’s chalk and cheese with paix, who is an absolute paperweight and if Madge persists with him then he deserves what he gets. I don’t understand how paix is still there, it’s as obvious as gos being a qcup bench player. Work ethic is great, but you also have to be able to actually play footy.

16 points with Paix on the field. 2 with Mozer.

 

[Dazza 92]

Was Ben Teo right all along?

Did he drop some home truths about this team and was expelled for it?

 

[1910]

When Mozer came on, he got to the ruck, looked up and three Broncos forwards had their hands on their hips and didn't want the ball. Mozer had to give it to Anderson to get smashed by three Roosters from an exit set.

Was any of it because of Paix though? Because we can twist stats to say anything without actually watching the game.

I get that we want Mozer to be the next best thing since sliced bread, but if he is truly going to be the best 9 in the game surely he wouldn’t be a bench booker at QCup level and should be able to get us going against tiring players at the back end of the game?

mam has better support play and Walsh has better passing. Tedesco seemed to always be the one who was there for the offload where as ours always went to a flat footed paix. Mam should be around the ruck.
