POST GAME Round 14 - Raiders vs Broncos

[Accept]

Two 5 game losing streaks in the same season. Has that ever happened to the Broncos before? No need to answer that.

If we get the wooden spoon, are we the worst wooden spooners of all time?

Maybe check out the 1999 Wests Magpies or the '97 Cowboys.

This side has the worst conditioning/fitness I have ever seen in an NRL side come game day. The injuries also reek of it, their either getting over trained or they have not been trained effectively. Everything we see is a symptom of being gassed, no communication, all hands D and one out footy.

There is not much else to say really. I am just so over this club not doing anything about it. They all look like this is just how it has to be. No one seems to have any energy, this Gentle bloke was just as boring as Siebs and just as delusional. If you believe in your systems and your the worst team in the league your delusional and need assessment right away from a health professional. It's obvious that luxury centre of excellence has done nothing but make these lot sub par and pathetic. Sleep pods and Playstations piss off.

Gentle said he believes in the game model Seibs has created with a straight face...i don’t think a combo of DeNiro, Oldman or Day-Lewis could do that

Seibold's game model:

 

[Foordy]

You guys that allow the club to ream you with memberships "rolling over"... grow a spine and tell the club to go **** themselves.

why would i want to do that ... i'm happy they rolled my membership over

Good. So don’t complain when they just roll our playing roster, Coach and form over into next year too.

excuse me, but WTF

just because i am happy to remain a fan and support the club, doesn't mean i can't have a fucking opinion about things.

FYI, no competent administration makes player or staffing decision based on how many season members they have.

Sorry, but if you’re unwilling to use the one single piece of genuine leverage you have with the club to call for changes at the club then you have no right to complain when that change is not forthcoming. It’s like hating the government but refusing to vote, or in your case, continuing to vote them back in.

Your second argument is also also utter nonsense for two reasons:

A - Tell me, do News Limited strike you as the kind of organisation that throws money at things for fun or out of sentimentality? No? Of course not. If they felt there was a genuine threat that their gate and/or membership revenue was about to be cut in half, you can be absolutely certain they’d be ringing the changes to do something about it.

B - What the hell does it matter what a ‘competent organisation’ would do? This is not a competent organisation we’re discussing anymore so that is hardly relevant. If you still believe otherwise then you’re simply out of touch with reality. Competent organisations don’t squander the embarrassment of riches we have relative to every other club in the game. Competent organisations don’t capsize under the weight of their own arrogance and determination to compound one bad mistake with another.

A) it's not genuine leverage

B) The Broncos would account for a very small fraction of News LTD's revenue. in fact the probably keep us around for 2 reasons prestige and so they can print what they like about us to sell papers, without too much fear of retribution.

C) I can't believe people are complaining about me being a fan of this club and wanting to continue my support ... I mean WTF. BTW, the word "fan" is short for the word "fanatic" (and if you don't know the meaning of the word fanatic, google is your friend)

D) This year has given me more respect for the die hard fans of the Eels, Cowboys, Tigers etc who have spent plenty of time propping up the table. hopefully we return to our rightful place, before too long.

E) This season has also made me realise that the Brisbane Broncos have the most entitled supporter base in Australian sport.

The west’s team conceded 37 points on average. Obviously we’re better than that, but the fact it’s being talked about as a comparison is a fucking disgrace

 

[Broncs_Fan]

Hard to see us being any good for years, especially with Fifita departing. Could languish at the bottom for a while. What a mess.

I don't even know where this rediculous line of thinking comes from? I will keep my membership next year, and if I am unhappy with anything, I will be well within my right to complain about it. Going down your odd line of thinking, does my opinion actually mean more, because I'm prepared to pay a little bit of money to support the club, and grant me that opinion?

Your argument is ridiculous.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Dearden, Turpin, Haas, Carrigan, Staggs and Farnworth. 6 players out of 17 that I'm happy to keep. The rest can be shipped the **** off as far as I'm concerned, and frankly that is disgustingly bad roster management. Peter Nolan should never have a gig in sport again, seriously.

I disagree

if we can win 40 to 60 minutes of games which we have done despite injuries and other outside noises. This comes down to attitude, belief and trust. All of which are coaching issues.

Winning games cones to defence. Our structures are terrible. thats coaching

Attack isnt a problem ifwe are winning the D.

Have watched and respected this site a long time. I lkke the passion having been a bronc fan from day one I really like the site.

But lets not throw the baby with the bath water.

Get a tough defensive coach in this all starts to work. Belief and confidence return. Milford and Bird on theback of defensive dominance this is a gun side

New coach quick turn.

Major issues any with sporting side being listed....conflict of interest.

My 2 cents for what its worth. We have the cattle. Back to basics D Strucure return to winning quickly

what about Coates, Paix ... both young but with plenty of potential

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Coates is an exciting player to watch but his defence still concerns me. I haven't seen much from Paix that tells me he will be a quality player. I'd like to see him get a run in the halves with Dearden, but a hooker he is not.

 

[Thelmus]

At the end of the day fiffita, though a good player, is but one of 32. What will make the difference is a good coach, with a good simple strategy, with a few key select spine acquisitions, and quality forwards.
Our forwards with one or two additions will be fine. We have our half, a hooker. We just need a quality fullback, veteran second row who can play 80 minutes consistently, a solid frontrower who again can be consistent during his spells and lastly you (this more than anything else), a simple game plan that can be effectively deployed (both for defence and attack).
This should be starting to be put into place tomorrow, and I mean sacking the coach! The longer this goes on the worse it will be. Even more than the disastrous Bennet axing, this will a black legacy Morris, white and the rest of the board will have to wear as an indictment to their incompetetence. Their arrogance and failure to put the club ahead of their own ego's has led us to this ruin.
