You know, i recall a time when Gus Gould lead a Panthers comittee up to Red Hill to take stock of the Broncos, their footballing department, their pathways etc.
How times have changed.
It wouldnt be the worse thing for us to return the favour and go down to the foot of the mountains and take a...
If Billy Walters is STILL our starting 9 next season after this annoucnment...
But thanks anyway Kevvie - when it was good, it was SENSATIONAL...
And for helping the supporters remember...what it FEELS like...to be a true Broncos fan...
....I'm still thinking if you cant get a top 3 coach to come here, then you have to invest in one of the guys who project to be the next future top 3 coaches.
It can be done, look at Ciraldo.
I'm not for one instance comparing the Dogs to us though, thats unfair on both clubs.
Identify the...
Heres the scenario - you are DD, and you have all the above players and their managers in a room.
You say "Ok, we are now open to discussing terms on your next Broncos contract now before the deadline."
You then see a number of hands go up and say to you "we aren't interested in re-signing...
Fact is this - we had argubly the very best forward pack in the comp in 2023.
And now we have, whatever you call this...
A huge recruitment and retention failure.
We allowed the clubs best asset to morph into the 12th best in the comp, in less than a year. How anyone could think outcast...
This write up kinda sums up the unique pressure of the only privately owned club in the comp.
Our owners can dial up the pressure when they want to via the media - they can also close ranks and they can promote what they want too.
I always found it best to ignore a lot of the noise this club...
Imagine if we had the same attitude towards Renouf, Langer and Lockyer (just to choose 3) when they were 21 years old, that i'm sensing on here for Mam.
None of those gentleman were finished at 21 years old, neither were their games complete.
I would preach patience with Mam.
There are plenty...
To be fair, I don't believe this forum needs someone who isn't a fan to be dictating and telling us where the faults of this team are right now.
There is more than enough sober debate about the faults and opportunites of this current roster from genuine Broncos fans; no need nor want for the...
We don't deserve finals football this year, been saying as much for a few weeks now.
Before the GF last season, DD had a knock on his door. Pinned to his door was a message - it simply said this.
"Premiership window open till Arey retires".
What he did next, what the entire front office did...
2/2
Brave game by Walsh - 50% effective Walsh is...still good.
Mozer, now he isnt a 80 minute hooker, but he is shaping up to become a NRL standard rake, and is absolutely part of our future.
Very busy in defence, you should check out how many tackles he's involved in when he is out there...

Geez, talk about a game of two halfs....We basically did to the Cows what the Tits did to us last round.
Though, need I say how the Titans followed up that game of football?
Cows must be filthy, they had no right to lose that game given their trajectory. I hope it doesnt hurt them too...
Look, for me part of the answer lies in the gutting of our forward depth.
Why is that important? Because its affected our team defence.
Last season, you had Payne, Paddy, Flegs, and a host of bench props steamrolling us up the field. We would then launch nukes at the opposition even if we were...
Yeh, I don't want to sound like i'm placing 100% responsibilities on Kev-there are many other who share the blame here.
But...consider this for a moment.
The level of recruitment and retention when Ikin was here...
And then the same since he's left...
Seriously, is there any good to come from continuing with this?
Sure, give Mozer a run at the 9, give Billy a "rest", he looks "tired" you know...
But, what else? What are we doing? What are we playing for?
Change the coach, right now, and start laying the foundations for 2025...now.
