NEWS Payne Haas: we have a good team

Payne Haas won't be spending the next few days crying in the rain:

“Obviously there’s no sugar-coating it – we haven’t won (many games) for a bit. I don’t think our confidence is rocked. We just have to play footy and we just have believe we can do it against these teams. There’s no better than doing it against Souths this week and we have to be on our A game. The belief is still there. We have a good team and we’ve just got to put it together.”

Putting it together and getting it undone

“Whoever is there (in the halves), is going to do the job. I thought Dearden and Milf were good last week. Us forwards have just got to lay the platform. It’s on us forwards to let them do what they do.”

“I have a lot of respect for Wayne but … it doesn’t matter who the coach is, we’re here to do a job this Thursday against Souths.

This team has losing down pat now. It’s been years of the same crap that it just comes to them automatically. It’s going to be very hard for some of these players to un-train these habits.

Not without help from some recruits.

All talk, no action. This is the number one problem with the current Broncos squad: They think WAYY too much of themselves. They saw the media talking up our front row as the next big thing in the NRL (Haas included) and they bought into it hook, line and sinker. Here's a nice, healthy reality check for you boys: You have won NOTHING except a wooden spoon. You're barely clinging on to your representative positions and you think your farts smell like roses. There is absolutely nothing in this life, even as an NRL footballer that is going to be handed to you on a silver platter. You're AT BEST deluded in your own self satisfaction. Either you find that extra gear mentally that is needed to make this team into contenders....Or you **** off. That is as plainly as I can lay it out for you. Haas was our best on ground on friday night, and yet you aren't a boil on Shane Webke's ass my man. Let that sink in.

But where does the "30 minutes" come from? Technically it takes all of 5 seconds to score the actual try. So we could say that in 2 minutes we conceded 58-0. Did this person just count the set leading up to the try? Time since the Broncos last had the ball prior to the try (taking in to account repeat sets or direct back-to-back tries where we concede another one without touching the ball)? I get what they are saying and I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I'd like some context here.

First try in 58th minute, 3rd try in 65th minute = 3 tries in 7 minutes. Repeat for each game.

It's all good to say more action, but the players are obliged to do media commitments, and if they give short non answers, the media will hound them for being arrogant and not speaking to the fans.

Take away the 24 scrubbing of the dogs and those scores are a lot closer. Cherry-picking if I’ve ever seen it.

forget the points for, it's more an illustration of the team's propensity to concede tries in clumps

It's not that unusual. Look at Manly's last game.

Yeah, most teams lose in small windows of time.

First try in 58th minute, 3rd try in 65th minute = 3 tries in 7 minutes. Repeat for each game.

But again, technically they score in the 25th minute and we don't score for the rest of the game, so it should be from the 25th minute to the 70th minute.

Oh, I get that, but it doesn't look as dramatic.
