Yeah but mostly nah. Time heals all wounds, the fatso debacle doesn't seem as bad with years of distance whereas this season still cuts fresh. Don't forget under Pies we had the playing group split,suffered our worst ever finals loss, then followed it up with a wooden spoon year where players...
I'm with you on most of this. Kevvie did a hell of a job restoring a club that Pies destroyed, and between last year's results and the fact we had our two key spine players in Reyno and Walsh starting together for 8 games (and only staying on the field for the majority of the game in 6 of those)...
There was never any pressure, and stepping through the replay on Kayo it's kind of between frames but it very much looks like Arthars' arm touches the ball while it's still in the air. Absolutely not a try and I'd be filthy if that was awarded against us.
That whole systems approach, look at what bits are working well and where changes can be made is Ikin's cup of tea for sure so you'd imagine he would have had at least some contribution to ir.
This didn't even attract a fine last week, and it's well known NAS is allowed to knock blokes' teeth in without any disciplinary action. You could say it wasn't nearly as bad as Marty's nor anywhere near as obvious, but it's also painfully obvious some players constantly get away with things...
I recall it being pointed out we received the fewest penalties of any team and it was just handwaved away anyway. Those who didn't just straight up ignore it completely would just go on about it's not the number of penalties others when and where we got them. Not that it matters terribly because...
NSW was getting pummeled in origin year after year having lost six or seven in a row, so the sooks down south made Johns an immortal well ahead of time as a consolation prize.
I do believe Mrs Long is referring to Timmy Deardon (career win rate of below 40%) who joins big names like Josh Hoffman, Herman Ese'ese, and Jarrod Wallace in the ever-growing list of Players The Broncos Were Foolish To Lose And Will Never Recover From.
Maybe, it's hard to tell. Getting paid more while staying in SEQ is one thing, but having to live in Canberra is another level completely. It's so cold there water literally freezes in winter, the place is unfit for human habitation. I certainly wouldn't move there for a paltry 30% pay rise.
He's also said a big factor, aside from the money, was someone at the Broncos was constantly leaking their discussions to the media. Can't blame him on that front either.
Mate I generally like your posts and you seem a sensible fella but there are certain lines that should never be crossed...
Absolutely immense last night. And this is off the back of an acl last year then an mcl this year. Can't wait to see how much better he gets over the next few years.
