We really, really need a goal kicker.

Plenty of changes to the team tho and we did lose some important players.
I think they are going ok, they just need some more time together.

They should be fucking ashamed, they need a clean out.

I wonder if the Roosters will be ripped apart like the broncos were, if they win the premiership again this year ?
*slaps own face* I say stupid things sometimes, of course they won’t

Weren’t they involuntarily cleaned out because they were too successful?

Probably, they built that team last year with the sole purpose of beating the Broncos and ending the streak. They've got the premiership and get a free pass for this year.
Damn, Chapman is a good player. Hope she's back next year.

Terrible. Seems the free-fall from the women’s side has accelerated to kind of where we are now - around about but losing because aren’t doing the little things properly or we don’t have the people who can
Some dumb footballers and some plodders who don’t do much with the poor game plans
Players I’d keep moving forward:
Aiken
Ferguson
Chapman
Robbo
Ciesiolka
Fogavini
Larsson
Hall
Lenarduzzi
Brigginshaw (she had a good enough season to stave off my calls for retirement)
One thing I continually see regardless is being dominated in the ruck/10m. We’re so slow and every team makes bulk metres.
We also lack acceleration through our attack sets - no one hitting the line at speed and getting quick ptb’s.
This won’t get easier with 4 new teams next season. It’ll be very interesting to see how many players move from their current teams, particularly the Roosters, but player retention and recruitment will get harder as players will see spots in starting sides open - which is why I’m still a little worried about Ferguson.
I don’t think she’ll leave, but I would like not to risk it. Hooker is obviously hers if she wants it but I feel halves is still her best position and the one she wants

And the Broncs couldn't achieve that. Joke of a competition but don't worry, Abdo will defend it with useless stats!

Brigginshaw was in tears in the press conference, broke down during it.

Hopefully that sparks the side for next season and we see them get back to where they were before this year.

You’d have to think Chapman makes the move to fullback next season. Her and Aitken are the future of the Broncos.
Hopefully Gould can be fully fit next season as we looked a much better team with her at 9.

Outside of Round 1, Chapman has last played fullback a year and a half ago and I don’t really think she can be elite there, as she’s been moved almost immediately back to centre or wing both in NRL or QCup for arguably lesser players
We looked good in the Titans game with Gould, but she’ll be 40 next year and we need a successor that’s actually a hooker
Maynard did very little to warrant re-signing her for next season
