PRE-GAME [Round 20, 2026] - Broncos vs Panthers

[Sproj]

I think if you factor in byes etc it’s already 9 wins and Broncs are on 5. I could be wrong.

Walters playing hooker today.

Broncos told Souths 40 minutes only.

Watched 2025 GF today to cheer myself up at this hell of a season. I'm as down about it as I was in 2020 - its truly that bad.

Anyway, we'll win this and the next one to give us false hope before a late August collapse.

 

[The Muffin Man]

Even if we won our last 8 which we wont. I still dont think we would make 8th the way things are going.

 

[Krampus]

It's all worth it it.
For our finals run and grand final win last year.

We'd be 13-11 in that situation which is typically good enough to be in the 8... regardless of for and against

12-12 is usually when for and against comes into it.

11-13 qualified a couple years back, but rarely ever happens

Yeah this. Would you take a decade of empty top-4 finishes like the Sharks, or a premiership followed by the worst injury crisis ever?

Can I choose option C - 5 GFs in a row, 4 premierships, a PF and runaway favouritism in the next year with a system pumping out talent after talent?

You'll have to jump shit to enjoy that. Unless there is a promising young NSW half out there that the NSWRL want to promote as the next Immortal and the Broncos sign them, it ain't happening.

In saying that, Madge doesn't have a kid that plays hooker, does he? Imagine if the NRL had the opportunity to fluff up the career of a 2nd generation NSW hooker to try to wipe the bitter taste of Cameron Smith out of their mouths.
