POST GAME [Round 15, 2026] - Broncos vs Rabbitohs

Sure, I’m 33 so I’ve had the pleasure of watching mostly your McCullough of the world. ❤️
McCullough and Paix are not comparable in the slightest. Watch 2015 and Macca is in plenty of highlights, actually involved in plays.

Paix’s biggest highlight is somehow being the only player in our premiership trophy lifting photo without an arm covering his face.
 
Yeah but he wasn’t really a hooker. He played a little bit there and defended at centre. He was an anomaly.

Yeah not saying they are, Macca was the definition of mid.
Paix is turbo ass.
 
I will say. Season over. I am an optimist usually, but Madge has to change the way he coaches in game.

How can Madge expect any consistancy from the playing group when he has zero set roles when it comes to bench rotation.

Why the **** did he play Paix for 80 minutes this week, and not 80 the previous weeks, yet insisted on bringing Bunt on as a hooker. Then tonight he uses Bunt at lock for 50 minutes, he is 34 years old. 20 minutes MAX. Absolute waste of interchanges too.

Basically Reyno off, Mam on, Roger's on for bunt, and then you can bring on another forward for the Mam injury, and just have Rogers / Duffy in halves. With a much bigger pack.

Arthars needs some speed training. He has gotten far too slow. Verhoeven, albeit raw, he looks like a keeper.

Riki looks like he ****ed his foot again...Mam out with AC joint possibly...Reyno and Bunt old and ****ed.

I also hated how commentators acted like our injuries were as bad as souths...it is like, we couldn't field a full 19 players 2 weeks ago. And we still have the most players used. Not using it as an excuse, but they obviously brought it up for a reason

I am not going to give the bullshit "bad attitude" excuse. Because we ALWAYS get labelled that regardless of if we win or not.

Madge just needs to read the room and make the changes. Meaning, old guard needs to move on. No more Reyno, Bunt and Talty has regressed. Our starting 13 is about as good as we can do due to the injury list. But ****, the bench is diabolical

Where the **** is Jaiyden Hunt too! So frustrating.
 
The most important thing we should all take away from tonight is that we pray Jai finds a miracle cure or atleast a treatment to help him and his precious family out. Seeing his little daughter really broke my heart, I hope he is able to stay in this world long enough for her to atleast remember him.

I got choked up watching all that unfold. I feel so sorry for him and his family.
 
LOL. I mean a little bit in his career. Maybe a year and a half as an attacking 9. He played in the halves and centre most of the time. He was great and won us a GF but if we’re talking pure hookers we can’t count him.
 
Its insane to me that you have players like Freddy Lussick whos a fringe backup at the Panthers and even his service is miles crisper than Paix's

Its also not just the poor service and lack of ability to run, Paix just lacks general skills and the game looks constantly rushed for him.

Get ready for bitter disappointment my friend. Jai is in for nothing short of a ****ing nightmare as tragic as that is. MND is a top 10 "**** that" ways to go.
 
8 premiership winners in Mariner, Staggs, Walsh, Shibasaki, Haas, Carrigan, Jensen, Walters were unavailable tonight.

Mam and Reynolds then go down mid game. Jordan Riki is also playing injured and was probably rushed back from his foot injury too early.

That's 11 premiership winners from last year's 17, gone.

Given the above, we've had no opportunity to create consistency or connection and it shows; we're just so bad.
 
It just shits me that any other team in the nrl is labeled brave or some other bs, except Brisbane, then it’s not even a discussion point.
Rugby league pundits hate injured teams. What’s to talk about? ‘Why is Mariner injured?’ They have to craft a different story to the obvious.

This was basically confirmed in 2007 that Berro didn't have a lot going on at 9 unless he could run it. His service was poor and barely gave his playmakers any time.

To me, he was a great player who happened to play hooker as opposed to a great hooker.

The key with Macca in '15 is that he had Kodi there at 14 to come on and provide the team with some spark. It allowed him to be more effective when he was on the field albeit he didn't step up as much as he should have.
 
He averages 99m off of the past 6 games he has started this year. He is extremely far off the mark from almost every single winger in nrl atm
He averages 120 plus his last 4 games. Stats aren't all they're cracked up to be.
Played centre 1 game and 46 mins 1 game.
