2025 Pre-season discussion. The Madge dynasty begins.

[Sproj]

I'm just relieved the club is finally having a rebuild: we've been due one ever since Alf retired.

It is nice to see a massive overhaul from top to bottom for sure. If it results in us finally no longer resting on our laurals from DECADES ago now, that is wonderful.

It is really nice to see us starting to seem to throw our weight around again as a club. Maybe our sleeping giant of a club is waking up again, this is great to see.

We are basically Sagrada Família.

Ben Hunt retiring with a grand final win with the Broncos would be too delicious for real li fe.

I have heard the gears are most definitely turning regarding Hunt signing with Brisbane. I reckon Madge just can't believe his luck with Hunt suddenly becoming available.

I would have you blokes 2nd favourites for 2025 if (once) Hunt signs on.

Good News Bunny strikes again.

Ben hunt and Reynolds would both retire if we won the grand final. Then we’re in another rebuild

Not even sure I could stomach watching another grand final to be honest.

but I'll take it..we are getting the systems to stay at the top.

Honestly I would take the GF win even if it did result in the need for a rebuild after.

I'm with you. I haven't watched a Broncos GF on TV since 2000. The rest I've been at live. Not sure I could handle another one live or on TV tbh.

Who am I kidding, I'll be there again....

I remember walking out of the stadium in 2015 thinking pls never this pain again. Couldn't believe feeling the same in 2023. Traumatic, really.

Even so, I will just keep going back

What players weren't at training and why is my question to everyone... there seemed to be a few players I didn't see in the training photos that I'm not sure why they wouldn't be...

Reynolds seems to be overseas

That's pretty much the mentality that any team who takes Wayne Bennett has, they're happy to win a comp even if they know when he leaves it's all going to go to shit.

The danger is that you don't win one.

My wife works with mozer's GF. He told her it's by far the most grueling training he's ever had and it's only week 1 lol. Hopefully that wasn't in a complaining manner however.

Funny thing is it's probably going to get worse.

Great! The fact he bothered to pull someone else in line suggests he is making a real fist of it.

Not all players are due back.

Several players are in the rep squad and can't come back until about Jan.

I also believe there is a clause in the EBA that gives players who have been in the NRL over a decade, an extra couple of weeks off.

Wonder how many will pull a 'sicky' on Friday. They're forecasting 35 deg. temps. Brutal indeed.
