Everyone remebers the losses (especially when they're grand finals), but we've also had a few last minute victory's (or games where we've just held on) ourselves in the last year.
Is the Bronco DNA now choking?

Because the ref didn't penalise a clear offside of a couple of defenders or holding down?

Do they not deserve credit though for even getting themselves to that position in the first place?
If Reynolds doesn’t get injured, he controls the game and we win that.

Full credit to the boys. for sure. It's just different now. You know, back in the old days you always felt like 'They'll find a way to win this' . Now it's the reverse.
Obviously this is just a temporary trend, and we'll get back to the winning way but its been a long trend of falling short when it matters.

That's weird ... so no arrow next to it either, because that's where the more options is

With this year I have stopped looking at the ladder. Plus my mum's pussies are 6th so I am bit jealous about that. We need to improve

Not sure that it will help much but try switching themes?

@Nashy to confirm but I think that may be a contributor function?

back in the old days the salary cap was effectively meaningless. we literally had 3/4 of the QLD side and a couple from the NSW origin side in our team ... and even they would have struggled if you took out 3 or 4 of their best players up against one of the best sides in the league on their home track

Back in the old days we had near on the best roster in the NRL, similar to what the Storm have in their spine when they played against us. We're in 2024 now, teams are for the most part equal. If you are without 1 or 2 key players you're already at a significant disadvantage.
It's part of what being a fan is, you don't always get to win. You have to also support the team when they're not winning. That's just what it is. If you're not prepared to do that, there's some mickey mouse club that just kicked off in Redcliffe. They've been winning a few games, I mean they've barely beaten a top side yet but hey, they're winning, right?

This isn't a "don't be a fan" , or "I hate the broncos thread" . It's just an acknowledgement thread for the last decade. It's ok to talk about negative aspects of the club's results to at least try and understand 'why' and how does it get addressed? How do they get that hard edge, Queenslander close it out mentality again.

I don't know. Look at our slide out of the top 8 in 22, We only need ONE win more game not to get the wooden spoon in 20..
Look at our slide out of the top 8 this year, and then look at those 2 grand finals.
It's hard to imagine we do anything but choke now.
We are the new Canberra as they are known as the Canberra Faders due to their period of second half collapses.
