OPINION Broncos are winning the 2023 NRL Premiership

[nopatience101]

Nobody rates us this year, which is bizarre given our roster is better and we still had a winning season last year. It’s as if there must be whispers going around about the club or something. Out of 15 nsw based nrl media, only 3 have picked us to make the 8. Yet we are 8th in line of betting to finish in the top 8.

The NSW media always tip us to miss the 8

cant really fault them for being right 3 years in a row

Kent has us finishing 12th. With both tits and dullphins above us.

Tell you what, the Panthers look as beatable as they have in a long time, so a win here for us would be a huge statement.

I now fully expect us to go out there complacent and get belted.

Good. Better to be the underdogs (especially with our current team). Maybe Ikin got all his media buddies to rate us badly on purpose. :)

Well we're off to a good start. Top of the ladder already!

Unless there’s a name change: Belmore Bulldogs

Imagine the meltdown on here if he did though

There will be no meltdown if Billy exceeds expectations, only relief.

Sydney media obviously forgetting that we've got Keb.

1 Down!

That's almost worth 4 points in the sense that no one expected us to win that one, it would be chalked as a loss on the chalkboard in preseason thoughts.

Wins like that - as long as that wasn't a March grand final - will hopefully inspire a bit of confidence in them and lead to a couple more that could go either way.

As long as we don't drop an "easy" game to cancel it out!

Don't lose to the Tigers FFS!

The extent of Nrl 360’s analysis of the broncos performance against Penrith across 3 episodes was “Brisbane were good” before droning on about Penrith for 3 days straight.

I love this thread with a passion.

Good. Better that people ride us off/ignore us. I think this team does much better as the underdogs. I hate it when we are favourites lol

Let them keep thinking that it was all about Penrith and not how good we played.
