Is the Bronco DNA now choking?

[Santa]

For those bummed out about this thread and sort of dark realization of our past 15 years, I direct you to our future and where we're at now.

SPOILER - The dynasty begins: The Brisbane Broncos are winning the 2024 NRL Premiership

So I've never done something like this before, but after doing the maths I feel we should start celebrating what is a foregone conclusion. Being realistic, I don't see the possibility of us losing any game in 2024 (besides the last round to the Storm after we rest the whole team for finals)...

Yea, who cares about the last 17 years! 2024 will be the year we all remeber!

And 2025, 2026, 2027, etc.

From 2008 prelim to now, we've done nothing but choke.

Prelims we've lost, to getting smashed in finals then on to 2015, then to dropping from top 4 to missing the 8 in 2022 to the biggest Grand Final choke in Australian sporting history.

Are we just chokers now?

This is just now what I expect from us. I hate it.

 

[Santa]

I blame this thread for our loss.

 

[vertigo]

If we fall in a heap like 2016 then the culture of losing big moments just keeps compounding in players heads.

I despise some of our fanbase at times.

Go support the Storm or Cows like all the other turncoats did.

What have we won in the last 20 years. It's a legitimate question.

Umm, pretty neat spoon a couple of years back.

A pre season challenge and the Nines once I think as well as some wooden kitchen thing.

What's your point? I should stop supporting my team because we haven't won a comp in that time?

It's not about not supporting or hating the Broncos, it's just an observation that we have a habit of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory in big games after 2006. Even observing some of our under 20's grand final losses.

p.s We didn't win the 9's.

The answer is yes.

Fair, we choked that final too. I stand corrected

It started with the U20's loss, tbh. All it will take is one GF win and the floodgates will open.

Especially as certain members of that team/era were involved in so many heartbreakers over the next 5-8 years.

I don’t disagree that it is a problem, and until we get the hardened edge, put the foot on the throat and bury games consistently will I be comfortable watching close games

You also need a little bit of good luck as well.

 

[Super Freak]

That 2008 20's GF loss was bullshit.

Croker was offside. He had a foot in front of the ball. But no video ref in 20's.

 

[Broncapz]

Judging by the Lions, we're not alone. Must be a Brisbane thing.

Reds blew a lead after the other team had a red card last week as well. We just fucken choke.
