Broncos are making the 8 in 2022

[Santa]

Calling it now.

Team getting much better. Reynolds, a fit Staggs, no Milford. We're going places.

Did you really have to? Did you?

By the laws of probability, I will eventually be right. Just saving this thread now so I can quote it in 12 months time saying "I told you so!!!".

someone should start a broncos are making the top 4 for 2023 thread now .

while i do love the positivity we still have a long way to go imo to be a shoe in for top 8 even with the players coming in.

still personally think with the way the game is played now we are short a gun hooker or fullback or both but need at least one to be a consistent finals performer again. ( unless vlandys decides to change the rules again in the offseason which lets be honest is possible )

I'm still hopeful we can make Hodgson sign in the off season.

Shut up.

 

[WASSHHH]

Shut up.

I guess this means someone has made their way on to the naughty list.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I'll wait to see the draw.

No doubt we will play the Storm, Rabbitohs, Panthers, Eels, Roosters and Manly all twice.

and all in the first 10 rounds, to try and stop us getting any confidence

12 matches in the first 10 rounds?

It’ll be a challenge, but I’m sure PVL will get it done.

Mid week games aren't that hard to throw in

PVL will throw in a new rule. "The bottom 4 teams must replay any top 4 team they beat or they forfeit the points they won. This is to ensure there are no errors or anomalies that the salary cap and/or refereeing has obviously missed"

You under estimate how trash the rest of the teams really are. Theres about 4 teams who Brisbane still have a large gap to cover, but the rest of the teams are not that great.

There's only 6 good teams in the comp and Parra is on the verge of falling out of that group (except they are still flat track bullies).

Souths are a chance of dropping out as well with Bennett and Reynolds moving on. A big wait and see on them.

Manly are only there because of Turbo.

Every other team in the comp stands almost no chance against those top 6

Vlando has somehow turned the comp into the premier league within about 18 months, but still has a "salary cap" in place... it's a really special effort that he's put in and of course his response to the other 12 teams is "just get better"

Back to back would be the only reasonable solution.

Start of the season, stinking hot summer afternoon, thinking this will get NRLHQ hard:

Sunday.
Broncos vs Eels, 2:00pm @ Suncorp.
Storm vs Broncos, 4:05pm @ Cbus.

And just for lols, only 8 interchanges, regardless of how many games you play that round.

And has to be different 17's for each game... because "player welfare"

I disagree, the NRL will insist it is the same 17 players.

Makes it a real tactical masterpiece.
We’d need to get out to a big lead in the Eels game and then 8 players get on a bus to Cbus at half-time.

The remaining 9 players have to try and protect the lead. The first 8 to arrive at Cbus then take on the Storm until the reinforcements arrive at half-time, hoping like shit it isn’t 100-nil by the whistle.

NRL: faster, faster, faster!
