OPINION Broncos are making the 8

[Accept]

No chance of post season action. Would have to finish at least 8-5 and these chumps aren't capable of that. It will be a positive if they can avoid finishing bottom 4. Even that is long odds.

I can’t see us beating the Storm carrying Milford in the halves.

True. But we don't need to beat Melbourne to make the 8.

 

[Dazza 92]

how about we win 2 games in a row this season?

 

[NSW stables]

I would be very cautious of making future predictions about the rest of our season. Each time we have won/played decently, the next week we have either been disappointing or got our arses handed to us.

 

[Sproj]

It is funny though, its like wow, that was a great win, might make a run now, I wonder who we have next week...of course it is.

Fixed :)

We should make the 8. Anything less is failure

Big Nelson is going to have a field day running at him.

They pro

Do you mean specifically this year, or just our general benchmark?
Coz if you mean general benchmark I'm with you, top 8 or failure.
But if you're talking about this year, the year following a wooden spoon and the worst season in the clubs history with just 3 wins from an entire season, where the team showed basically no heart ever, and then this year given the hardest draw in the comp, then I have to disagree.
There's a place somewhere between last year's nightmare and the top 8, a stepping stone from 1 to the other, that this year should be given a pass mark.

I have us winning about 7 of those remaining games, anything more would be a genuine shock result

It's annoying because I haven't seen the draw for other clubs but I can't imagine any other club has copped it as bad as we have, we had a few winnable games there and then we cop the Roosters and Melbourne in consecutive weeks, in the first 6 weeks or so we had 1 game against a bottom club and the rest were against genuine Premiership contenders (okay in hindsight maybe not so much the Titans but this was supposed to be their big year)

If we win 6/7 of those games it will be a good result for the club, I don't care what they say this is a rebuilding year for us. Finishing just outside the 8 would be a big step forward.

 

[Kooly87]

It’s a nice thought, but in reality we’d probably need to win 10 or more of the remaining games this season...

No chance.

Compare that to say.. Penrith, to their credit they flogged Souths by 50 but then look who their next game is.

They've barely had to string a couple of big wins together against good clubs, it's no wonder they didn't win the big one last year.

If Kevvie finishes outside the bottom 4 with this utter rabble he'll have performed a minor miracle.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

VERY optimistic outlook, OP. In order to make the 8, we will basically need to win every game post Melbourne this week to have a chance of squeezing in. Forget about the competition points, our F/A is our worst enemy at the moment, and it will be even worse after Melbourne are done with us.

 

[Aldo]

If we can win another 4 games, I'll be fucking ecstatic
