[Santa]

Best part was if they wanted to suspend Walshy, they had to throw their grub to the same fate, was never going to happen.

Anything for Tino? Would be good if he missed the game. Don't want him knocking out or breaking the jaw of Walters ...

Well, if I were Kotoni Staggs, I would be very happy to have not been party to that stink fest. Even had Fitler had the brains to play, I don't know, say Cam Murray instead of Cook when Turbo went down, that edge was always going to have a hard time of it. Payne Haas looked like he was having a PTSD relapse when he was playing fullback for Teddy on the Hammer try. No way would I want anyone other than him being headficked by that dogshit blues team. Haas is probably the only one who could handle it, because noone would dare criticise his work ethic. Staggs would just be a scapegoat, even when it is basically all those Panthers players not being able to play on a flat track as per usual.
I said it way back when Penrith started conveniently getting all the 50/50s their way (Broncos opposite) that they were being played into confident football. Because that is a huge factor in the game. That Penrith team would have crashed and burned harder than the Broncos if the calls had gone the other way. Even with a huge benefit of calls in this game, they melted.
It was glorious! I hope the whole thing ruins them for the next 5 seasons. Except Haas and Cook. They are guns, and noone deserves to have happen to them what Cook suffered. That was the rough end of the pineapple.

As we head into round 17…. Have a look at the ladder Broncos fans….

[BroncsFan]

Wait what... has this been on the cards??

Is it April 1??

From nowhere and like days before a game where the now sacked coach picked the team on Tuesday... and players away on origin duty.

 

[GCBRONCO]

From what the Titans website has it will be from 2024 onwards, won't be this season. Still that is quite the bombshell to drop right before a match.

 

[Brocko]

Damn, new coach bounce...

Might only win by 24 now

New debate… Which end is the rough end of the pineapple? Neither are ideal if you ask me.

But probably worse on the side with the leaves.

This article is very confusing, but sounds like he might be taking over straight away?

Well with Holbrook getting the sack, the bounce back factor is a bit of a concern.

 

[vertigo]

Zero expectations for the titans now. They're free to play as they like.

We leak enough points to them as it stands, could be another 34-26 game

 

[Broncapz]

Holbrook has made a strong contribution since joining the club in 2020, however as the club works towards the 2030 strategy of bringing success, the decision has been made to move in a new direction.\

Imagine having to wait til 2030 for success. Sucks to be a Titans fan.

 

[BroncsFan]

Well with Holbrook getting the sack, the bounce back factor is a bit of a concern.

It's such a short turnaround though... and very late in the week... basically only have captain's run left before gameday.

Usually a coach sacking happens straight after a loss and titans had a bye last round... why not sack Holbrook after the loss back in round 15 and give Des 2 weeks with the team.
