PRE-GAME Round 14 - Raiders vs Broncos

[the_next]

Well, count TPJ out if this game, he has apparently broken the COVID-19 biosecitity protocols. He will now have to isolate.

Does anyone at this club give a shit anymore?

Did he go have dinner with his uncle nick politis?

So that's where he gets his money....

I’m sure you’ll find people calling for his head to be dragged through queen st mall every day this week. You better be ripping into them as well

I'm hardly ripping into you. From what I've read Seibold is dealing with a very serious family issue involving his child so if there was ever a time to pardon him wouldn't it be now? He's partly responsible for our worst ever season as a club so I doubt he survives once the new CEO comes onboard which will occur at the end of the season.

We can separate the two sides of it. Seibold is both a terrible, terrible coach who's burning this club to the ground, and a father dealing with personal family problems at a very difficult time. He doesn't deserve the problems for being a bad coach but nor do they excuse his terrible performance. I don't want him sacked out of personal spite or malice, only because his performance is well below acceptable.

No disagreement here but he's not even our coach for the next 2 weeks at least so I'd rather focus on Gentle and what he might bring to the table.

Seibold is a dead man walking, we all know it.

this is going to be soooo interesting these next 2 games..

1. Nothing changes
2. Team (loosely used term) busts out and actually puts in 80 minutes of effort
3. Does our interchange actually get used correctly...

Ive a feeling a lot (or not) will be unveiled this next fortnight. If nothing changes whatsoever that in itself is telling. It would not ALL be on the coach in that case...

there's another example; Luke is surplus to requirements; does Gentle realise that and adds Paix..?

We can only hope.

roll on team list Tuesday...

 

[IceWorks]

Not much of a coach but I feel for Seibs. He’s having a horror show of a year, and he seems like a nice enough bloke. Hope him all the best in his personal life

I feel sad for the guy, he does indeed seem like not much of a coach but that's being highlighted to the rest of the country on the burning dumpster fire we are all watching. Hope he's able to put it all in perspective, will be walking away with a hefty cash payout and compared to many in our community will be doing just fine.

I don't remember noticing Luke at all during the 80 mins of the Rabbitohs game, what did he do? There were only 8 tackles.. Seriously what is his role in the team?

Also Croft is a head scratcher.. what's the point of him being in the team if it's just catch and pass and kicking now and then, shouldn't he be told just to have a dig with a running game to go and take the line on?

he was a band aid solution to a hooker issue we had; he said himself it suited him for his family...

Great, well now we DONT have the same hooker issue, he can still see his family....no need for him to play...

He doesn't represent the future like Paix so playing him is totally pointless at this stage...

 

[Kyall]

Will Issako be back for this game?

 

[Dazza 92]

ive decided i should return the level of respect and integrity i have been shown by the club by no longer watching a single game involving the Broncos this year...

The continuing amount of self-inflicted wounds this club insists on inflicting upon fans and members....

This bullshit with TPJ & Boyd etc......enoughs enough...

Earn my respect back Broncos...then you may levergae my valuable time, money and interest

If we haven't fixed our wing defense by now I cannot see them suddenly fixing it now that the coach is gone out of action. The support staff must bve as clueless as our head coach. Apart from that it's anybodies guess but I'm expecting more of the same all round.
