What a joke. Who won the series? Wighton? Did they watch game 1? Tupou? Didn't do much Cordner? Hardly had a good series Murray? Barely played Pappy? Didn't play

Collins should have got a shout, Capewell and Grant too.

Yeah the fact Collins and Grant aren't there shows it is a load of rubbish.

Collins was pretty much QLD's best forward, it definitely doesn't seem like a team based on merit.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

**** this competition.

 

[BroncsFan]

**** this competition.

Holy ****... well at least it gets him out of the vid ref box.

Seriously who would've thought refs boss was also a job for the boys??

Maxwell is deadset hopeless... whether it be an on field ref or ref in the box.

 

[Browny]

The same comp that lets Patton adjudicate Bulldogs games.

So it made the news today that a new cluster of COVID19 has sprung up in Wollongong, outside of the initial breakout area in the Northern beaches (itself being Manly territory). As everyone here well knows the Gong is the Dragons nest. That's 2 for 2 for hotspots in NSW coinciding strongly with League heartland. It seems there is every likelihood that season 2021 is going to face the same complications that plagued (no pun intended) 2020, namely troubles with getting NSW teams over the border for games in QLD and keeping players in constant lockdown, not to mention potentially a second straight year with no crowds at games.

The newest breakout in NSW isn't quite at full on crisis levels yet, but its bad enough to kill crowds for New Years celebrations at the very least, which can't be good for their local economy as an aside. If it does get any worse, the NRL are going to need to start strongly considering another safe harbor system in QLD for the NSW teams, and to do it early while the breakout isn't so severe that Palaszczuk gets cold feet, and to give the players plenty of time to quarantine ahead of the trials.

Yeah saw that, worrying news.
Maybe when a vaccination is available (expected March maybe earlier) get all the players and officials who travel with them jabbed so they can travel without too much drama.

That's superficial, Ipswich has been a league gold mine for 110 years. If the Roosters, Souths and Panthers keep going to the well they will get a good player and it will be a player that was 40 minutes from Brisbane and a area the Broncos cut loose- that's the bigger issue.

 

[vertigo]

All good according to foordy.

Broncos can do no wrong. We run a very tight ship, all great talent going to other clubs while we win the spoon.
