Starting to even wonder if I was being optimistic now.

Think we’re a victim of believing our own hype after that magic run last year.

The amount of errors is unbelievable. Lack of care / focus and frantic play when we get rattled and on the back foot.

Absolute refusal to do what we did last year - work hard and play simple tough footy to create opportunities … just run hard up the middle, find your front quickly, quick play the ball and follow up with another runner hitting the same gap.

It’s night and day from last season and honestly every team we play just looks like they want it more than us at the moment.

There isn’t a team I’m confident we could beat right now. It’s disgraceful given the talent we have. Kevvie needs to fix this… quickly.

S.O.S Adam Reynolds.

Meh. This game was always going to be hard.

Nice to see Taupau back - should replace Baker on the bench once back to full strength.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Congrats to Warriors. Gonna tip against the Broncos for all games till 2025 (and yes that even includes the bye)

Yep that first 40minutes ensured we wouldn’t win that one. Walsh plays in it and I reckon we may have gotten home. Sailor is just too poor.
Ezra went missing when we needed him.
I think that’s lights out for the season, now we just have to pray Penrith don’t put 60 on us next week.

Coach Kev has a fair bit to answer for this year imo. Sure injuries haven’t helped but game plans and selections this year have left a lot of head scratching.

Some players need to go spend more time in cup. We don’t really have the depth to do it.

Mariner, and Madden back to cup. Sailor out of the team entirely.

Piakura needs less minutes or even time in cup to learn to stay switched on but we have 0 depth in that position. Goose is one of the all time bad bronco signings.

I’d probably keep Marty in the team too to be honest. Maybe at the expense of Hetherington who hasn’t kicked in at all.

 

[Dash]

We really, really miss Herbie. He makes more metres per hit up than our current outside backs do in an entire set.

 

[mstreet]

I thought it would be a blow out after the first 30 minutes. We showed resolve.

Death by a thousand paper cuts for the Broncos. We make a lot of poor decisions. Risky passes.

Our kick returns must be the poorest in the competition. Then there's the kick chase. Add the dropped ball. Very poor in all effort areas.

Great game by Marty and Xavier. Jenson trying his guts out. Xavier needs to be locked up. Wish we resigned Hass and Ezra for a more respectable amount.

 

[Brocko]

Maybe Tyson Gamble was right

Thanks origin for keeping walsh on the sidelines for a month.

we should put a focus on bringing over kiwi jrs in the future. Not only are they great players, but they don’t miss 3-6 games in the middle of the season.

We’re going to likely have missed Walsh for five games by the time origin is over. With the way our season is going with injuries that’s pretty much the difference between us being a competitive side at the end of the season and out of the eight.

 

[mrslong]

All I came out of that game was thinking why are we letting Marty walk and why didn’t we let Sailor walk?

 

[Midean]

Ah well, onto next week.

 

[Old Mate]

Cobbos no try should’ve been a penalty try right?

 

[Manofoneway]

Maybe Tyson Gamble was right

What on earth are you expecting here? We had about half of our cap out tonight lol. And an BR injured in the first 4 minutes. Craig Bellamy couldn't do anything with that tonight.
