2025 Pre-season discussion. The Madge dynasty begins.

“Disrespecting a cop on the street” is different to threatening to bash a female cop though.

Through the lens of Payne Haas and his upbringing I think understandable .
Police have been the bane of his parents life .

I think there was also a quote from that incident that you refer to about cops locking his mother up so he had no respect for them ?
Under the influence of alcohol people say and do things they wouldn`t when sober is a mitigating factor along with his immaturity at the time .

Words and actions .

 

[Big Del]

Have you seen our team play over the last few years? Without someone telling them what to do, they have no idea what they’re doing and it’s messy.

Pfffffft !!!
Having to listen to Patty carry on like his team mates have never played the game before . Maybe they are getting confused between what the coach tells them at training and what Patty is screaming at them on field ? LOL .

Haas , Capewell , Reynolds , Cobbo , Staggs , Flegler , Farnworth and Oates have all played rep football you reckon they need instructions on what they should do on every play ?

Justifying threatening a woman because she wears blue is wild.

You've got this really wrong...... The M1 between Brisbane and the GC is a fucken car park at any given time. 7 days a week.

I strongly advise new employees if they're moving from interstate or overseas to try and move somewhere relative to the proximity of our base. You'll thank me for it later. I've lost workers purely based on "the drive is a ****....and I can't do it anymore"......

Wayne style suburban barracks is a tad too far but......boys, we pay you very good money to play for the Brisbane Broncos. I want you to live in Brisbane.

Ah ,, yeah Reecey that multi million dollar pad in the Gold Coast hinterland .
Your gonna be turning that into Walshy land BnB and moving up to Logan . New regime ...

Threat ? Action ?
Black . White .

Not saying I`d do it .
Playing devil`s advocate . His upbringing would not have been the same as average Joe . He resented police of any gender for seperating him from his mother right or wrong . Got emotional while under the influence and said some crazy shit .
Years have past , he hasn`t repeated the behaviour and gave up drinking .
But no redemption ?

Redemption is fine, justifying the actions is not.

No you are misinterpreting my message .
No justification . Understanding why , and that he has grown to be a better character is what I am trying to communicate .

I don’t think playing devils advocate for someone threatening a female is ok. Glad he has improved, but that doesn’t negate what he’s done in the past and that’s my entire point. You attempted to explain why, I don’t care why.

A light dose of Paracetamol should do the trick.

Guys, just heard breaking news out of Sydney tonight. NRL investigating Madge and the Broncos for the torrid training seasion in the heat on Monday..Major concerns around regulations and protections regarding player safety. NRL investigating to determine if Madge and training staff followed safety procedures to safeguard player welfare considering the high intensity session in the heat..concerns around players gasping for breath, drenching themselves in water and, in some cases, reaching for vomit buckets.

Any player who looks in trouble are to be moved to the shade and have their rectal temperature measured. NRL checking to see if these tests were done.

You’re going off the rails bud. It’s a nothing story. By all accounts broncos followed all required protocols
