Would be kinda awesome for things to get that dire that Milford gets called up and he finds 2015 form and takes us on a run into the finals

Buzz must really have the shits with Madge trying milk a scandal out this. Apparently, he just wanted to take them to Fort Denison for a bit of "culture" but the water taxis were too small so he called in a favour with Andy Bell to use his stinkboat. They weren't even drinking, so quieter than going to restaurant. He throws in this completely gratuitous dig, apropos of nothing:
"Rest assured the players weren’t happy about having to leave home early for three nights in Sydney. Not when five-day turnarounds are difficult enough without interruptions to the regular schedule. We’re hearing rumours that Madge’s relationships with some players are deteriorating."
Source: "we're hearing."
Now you're hearing it.

Go and support Ezra. He could use it.

Yes, he started off rusty. Good thing he's having this warmup in Cup. Did you notice his kick chasing and support play? While since we've seen that from a Broncos 6.

Yep! Warned into it nicely. A try, try assist, and a 40/20 in the first half to well and truly blow out the dust.
Good kick chase too

Madge and Rothfield have gone to war.
Rothfield:
Rothfield:
"I rang Madge to give him the opportunity to explain what’s really going wrong at the Brisbane Broncos, why they are doing worse after 10 rounds than last year under Kevin Walters, rather than rehashing the old stock-standard press-conference quotes. If only we could print the conversation. This was Madge at his angriest ... but sadly it was all off the record."
"You’re left wondering, if this is how he speaks to the players, no wonder he’s had falling outs at the Rabbitohs and the Wests Tigers in previous coaching stints. We went through a whole heap of issues over the last 10 years including:"
• "Him losing the dressing sheds at the South Sydney Rabbitohs (2016) and the Wests Tigers (2022)"
• His Broncos pre-season army camp and players vomiting at training from exhaustion."
• "His relationships with key players that are said to be deteriorating."
• "About his success with the Kiwis in international football and with the NSW Blues in State of Origin – but how coaching in rep footy over short, sharp campaigns is so different to managing footballers and personalities with the week-in week-out demands over a long and grinding NRL season."
• "And finally about a phone call I had with one of his player’s managers on Sunday morning in regards to why the Broncos have lost to Souths, Penrith, the Warriors and Roosters in five weeks. The manager said he had feedback that Maguire was over-training the team, hence they looked so flat – just 10 weeks into the season - against the Rabbitohs at Accor Stadium. The same the week before when they were touched up in Magic Round by the Panthers. Also, that Madge was an old-school coach who had not changed his ways to be more not in sync with the new generation of footballers like a Cameron Ciraldo or an Andrew Webster. And on having to spend three days in Sydney for the boat cruise in a decision the manager claimed was one that went down poorly with the majority of players."
"All I got from Madge was angry denials, but nothing to be publicly shared with the fans."
