POST GAME [PREMIERS, 2025] Broncos vs Storm

One thing that always gets talked about are other teams learning from what was successful out of the premiers.

I think the big thing that would be taken away from the broncos winning the comp is fitness.

Our fitness won us games against Canberra, Penrith and Storm... among many others through the back half of the year. I think the win against penrith is the one that will convince other coaches though... we were on top of them for the last 30mins of that game and chased down a 14pt deficit.

So much was made about Madge flogging the guys during preseason, which is kind of stupid because Belly and Ivan would've been flogging his players as well, but it was so prominent in the media when it came to Madge.

I think it will have an impact on our wider squad guys (knowing they have to be fit to break into this 17), but I wonder if it will have coaches at lower teams pointing at Brisbane like "look at them... they're fit as **** and they won the comp... you want success you've gotta be just as fit so quit with your whinging".

One thing that isn't as easy to coach is the resilience and belief that this broncos team has... yeah our fitness was through the roof, but we also had to come back from double digit deficits a lot this year.

Also helps when you have Reece playing off the back of a team that is running downhill in the last 20mins of every game.

Honestly reckon with an Elite 9 and some ball shufflers in the halves we would be just as good if not better than we are now.

We could have Billy and Mam in the halves with Walsh primary on kicking. Grants no slouch with the boot either
 
Just watching the YouTube of all of our tries. The number of beautiful harbour bridge passes from not just Walsh, but also Mam was ridiculous. It was a key feature of our attack for a big let of the year.

We kind of put them away toward the end of the season and went to the Walsh bullet pass either across the face or hitting the man.

I said we would need to win the comp to make me think this wasn’t a fun year. I think it was because we didn’t pump teams as much as we did in 23. We scored so many entertaining or “beautiful” tries. At least half a dozen I saw again and I still cried out “ball” on seeing the pass.
 
I had a client come in (i’m not a prostitute) who is a Manly fan. Generally a good guy, but still has that Manly fan flog about him. I always enjoy seeing him once a year because we can talk footy.

This year he came in as the biggest sad sack of shit. Saying Canberra should have won it etc…. I kept saying, but they didn’t. We did…. He barely wanted to talk footy at all. I lost a lot of respect for him (as much as you can have for a Manly fan).

He would come in king shit when Manly were going well, and I would cop it sweet but he couldn’t even acknowledge how good we were the last month.

In conclusion. Him flog. Us winners.

Sounds like a wanker.

We just broke a near 20yr premiership drought, Bhunt premiership redemption (is he a qlder?), Reyno and Madge premiership (is he a NSWanker?)... inflicted back to back GF losses to the cheating grub scum (is he... a... Vic 🤔🤔)

There's a lot of great positive stories for footy fans out of that GF win... so he sounds like a rare breed of wanker to not be able to at least engage in conversation about it!!

Dozer fan .
He acknowledged him in his post match speech .

Yep, I recall that. Was there live and found his speech classy. But he actually grew up a Broncos fan. Hence my comment that you can't take the fandom out of the kid.

The superstar hooker grew up in the central Queensland town of Yeppoon - just over seven hours away from Brisbane - and always had aspirations of pulling on a Broncos jersey one day in the top grade as a diehard fan.

Couldn’t agree more. I took a bit of stock after seeing a graphic of the list of teams who had the biggest premiership droughts now. And I thought, if we don’t win it next year, it would be great for another fan base to have the same feeling that we had this year. It’s truly magical. This guy has gone to the top of the flog tree of clients (cannot reiterate enough that I’m not a prostitute)
