I think I am getting grumpier in my old age. This rubbish narrative about the Broncos being favoured because they have only played in Sydney (Dean Ritchie) is really getting up my nose. The old fool on NRL 360 (Slothfield) just tried to suggest we had only played outside Brisbane 3 times this...

Is anyone streaming (legally) the Broncos trial and the Dolphins trial today? Oops, saw there was a thread below, please disregard.

I have been thinking about this for a while and I think we have been really really let down by our management from about 2006 onwards. It really all started with Bruno Cullen. I think we became too arrogant and just assumed the success that we had worked so hard for from 1988-2000 would just...

Just win FFS

I am intrigued regarding what is happening with Bellamy and the Storm. It is getting late in the season and he is still not signed. It cannot be a matter of money because let's face it, you pay the man whatever he wants if you are the Storm (and they have the capacity to do so). It can't be...

Going to move away from Covid-19 for a while. If the season does not restart, it is going to be a perfect trivia question in the future as to which season had six undefeated teams. What are some other good NRL/RL trivia questions for the future?

Does anyone on here have any contacts at the QRL they would be willing to share contact details for. If so, could you PM me to discuss this please? Cheers

It would seem that our recruiting team might be finally starting to get their act together both on decisions about who to bring in and who to let go. By using the neutral term `recruiting team' I am trying to avoid any reflection on present or past coaches. Firstly, in terms of who has been let...

I am not usually a stat nerd, but I was curious to compare where we and Souths were respectively at after Rd 21. 2018 - After Rd 21 Position Team M W D L B For Agst Diff Points 1 Rabbitohs 20 15 0 5 1 487 347 140 32 7 Broncos 20 12 0 8 1 418 424 -6 26 2019 - After Rd 21 Team P W...

What are our thoughts about Bird? If we can offload him in the off-season with no or minimal impact on our salary cap, do we do it? He has had no luck with injury, but you would have to say that his stint with us to date is a fail, at a fair cost in terms of our salary cap. To me, I think if...

Given that Souths are now going to be without Sam for 6 weeks or so, and Reynolds has fracture/s in the spine and is looking to be out for a few weeks, George is looking at a potential suspension and Cody Walker's confidence might have taken a hit after the SOO, are Souths about to be found out...

My first and potentially only post season thread starter. Ten years on do we consider the 2008 under 20s broncos team a pass or fail. Here is our team from the grand final: FB: Josh Hoffman WG: Mitch Rivett CE: Will Tupou CE: Brendon Gibb WG: Jharal Yow Yeh FE: Jared Kahu HB: Ben Hunt...

I have watched all of the games so far bar the Souths v Warriors game and in my opinion we were quite comfortably the worst performed team of the round. That standard of play was completely unacceptable and perhaps more concerning was the fairly poor attitude that was on display. How a club...

I am not one for staring threads very much, but I was pondering that if suddenly Bennett pulled the pin, who would be the best coach to replace him. In my view we have pulled the wrong reins twice in who we appointed in the time after he left last time. Do we go down the path of appointing...

I still don't think that the blues have the right side picked. If they were fit I would have Dugan or Tedesco at fullback with Moylan in that 14 role. Farah has to go and I would have Peats in there for the future. Bird is done in my view, I would have Cartwright on the bench. He at least...

Anyone know anything about this rumour on LU about bad news going to break within 24 hours involving a club?

So we have four games left in the run home, how many do you think we will win. I note on LU that some of our greatest fans are predicting we will lose all four. I am hopeful we will two of the four, I think three would be fantastic.

There has been a lot of intense and interesting discussions recently on here surrounding the circumstances of Hook's dismissal and the appointment of the second coming of Bennett and whether this was done properly/ethically etc. I thought it might be worth some discussion to revisit the...

Apparently announced on 2GB and will be a press conference later today. I wonder where he is going?

Well, after some of the results from the weekend, our effort against Manly may have been a little better than what it appeared at first blush. My early prediction is that we we will make the eight, however it is likely to be in position 5-8. You would think that the likely challengers for...
