I saw it more as Gould doing a Wayne and redirecting the heat off Barrett onto himself. Trent's got enough issues as it is trying to get his team to gel.

Sure but that isn't how it came across. It comes across as though Barrett needs to ok his decisions with Gould, in other words, Barrett has no actual power.

Exactly. You'd at least say something along the lines of "Trent asked my opinion on bringing Kyle in and blah blah blah after talking it out, we felt it was time for him to come back into first grade."

FTR, whoever made the decision to keep him in reserves the first few rounds was right. He was utterly thrown to the wolves last year. He's not the next Cronk but he's a far better player than he showed last season IMO. Very dumb to not give him at least 1 trial with Burton though.
 
Have tipped the warriors for this game, but I feel like I should've gone cows... warriors weren't that great against us last week, they just had to turn up... plus cows have a game boost following Payten's little bitch fest last week.
 
Watching all these players leave us and go on to look far happier and play far better at other clubs is a horrible, horrible sign for the Broncos. I legit think these players are just fed up with the constant arbitrary scrutiny they have to cop from the media at Red Hill and would rather not deal with it.

Payten's bitch fest is 99% of the reason I backed the cows tbh. They'll certainly get the rub of the green tonight

I think players just don't care about the broncos anymore. Dearden was a cows fan growing up, so he would have more loyalty to them than us.

Broncos keep getting juniors from all over Queensland, but they don't really give a shit or have any positive feelings towards the club... they're just happy to get a pay check, move through the junior development pathways and grab a bigger pay check when Brisbane media start spruiking them up.

We don't really have a junior catchment and even our reserve grade is just throw them across three different teams when they turn 18.

Our coaching or lack of is a big part of it too
 
Another nice get out set there for the cows... getting that penalty on 3rd... I wonder if they practice that each week 🤔🤔🤔
 
Why couldn't we get this version of the Warriors last week?

Their 2 tries, one from a show and go from Dearden and the other from a lazy attempt to gather the ball in goal

I mean I don't think warriors did anything special to beat us last week... we turned up with zero energy and warriors were able to cruise to victory like it was a training run

They've basically turned up the same way for this game, but little bitch Payten doing his rant last week means warriors won't have anything going their way... hell they might even see one of their players binned for tackling too hard
 
Is that not just CHT interfering with the play??

No way is he actually trying to go for the ball there

Yeah the Warriors were bad last week, we were just worse.
