Gotta Get Down On Friday

[Broncoman]

I haven't dropped them in any way twiztid.

I'm also not buying the travel crap that's being thrown either. Yeah, travel is tiring. But seriously, the Broncos go to a room, are all marched through security, marched onto the plane, and it's what, an hour to Sydney? No big deal when you get special treatment through corporate sports travel bookings.

Even the Toyota Cup players get this treatment.

^^ This. It might be draining when you first start doing it, but considering most of these young guys in first grade have been doing it in the Toyota Cup since 2008, travel's no big deal to them.

Getting used to it doesn't mean it has no impact.
I've got about 300 flights under my belt, generally enjoy the airline lounge before boarding the plane, have priority boarding and most of the time, I only carry onboard luggage. Still, it just drains me, albeit more mentally than physically.

Don't get me wrong, it's not that big a deal; just no smaller than the 7 day routine bs.

 

[Big Pete]

Yeah I don't think travel is that big a deal...but neither is this 7 day turn around crap that's been given so much thought.

I definitely think travel impacted our club during it's initial years but nothing has hurt us or any other club more than Origin. I reckon it's denied us a few potential premierships.

The disadvantages of being a succesful club.

So Manly coach Toovey had a whine on this topic tonight. Shocking. Manly complaining.

"It would be great to be a Brisbane and have seven days, seven days, seven days (to prepare each week)," Toovey said.

"That would be fantastic. I think it's something the new commission or David Gallop needs to look at.

"Quite frankly, the rest of the clubs are at a disadvantage."

 

[ningnangnong]

Toovey can do one. How about you look at your team's own shortcomings rather than making excuses?

 

[Jeba]

Haha lose to the Titans and blame it on the Broncos playing Friday nights. Dickhead.

 

[Nashy]

:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::haha::rash:

 

[Twiztid]

I can understand if you played the Broncos and wanted to use the excuse if you had a short turn around. Don't go into a press conference after losing to the Titans and use it. What a dickhead, media fail.

 

[Fozz]

I accept that. I accept that the Broncos scheduling had a factor in a Manly loss. I am proud that the Broncos scheduling contributed to Manly's loss. I LOVE IT!

 

[Playboy Bunny]

I think I am on the fence with this one. What works for one person might not work for the next one. So having the 7 day routine for however long may mentally benefit some players while it doesn't make a difference to others. Same sitaution for the travelling, some players may find travelling fine while others might find it taxing on their body physically and/or mentally. Yes they play as a team at the end of the day but that doesn't mean that some are at 100% while others might only be at 80%.

However....any chance the bag the Broncos and I am there...so unfair advantage! LOL

 

[Twiztid]

I blame the Broncos for Souths losing to the Warriors. :haha:

 

[Kaz]

I blame the planes, they fly to New Zealand & it shocked Inglis, as it was raining at the time.
