Anybody watch 360? It frustrates me when guys like Crawley jump on and talk about unrest at the club and things are not good, based on what? Literally comes with no facts or anything just based on how Madge went at Souths, guy is still locked on Hass leaving because there is something wrong at Brisbane. Not once do they touch on the fact that in 15 games 30 players have been used, and not just any players, the pack is just being held together.

Don’t tell me - CONEHEAD putting shit on the Broncos, Ritchie putting shit on Qld, Crawley saying whatever uncle Wayne tells him to and finally someone like Ben Elias taking about the old days but no-one really understands what he’s on about.

Don't worry sometimes I get fooled, as well.
I'll be sitting there getting the graphic ready to input the team list and then I go to NRL.com to wait for the team list to be updated and I'll see that Broncos have the bye.

I'd say that how we're playing suggests not all is right at the club. Certainly not playing like people who like each other or give a ****.

I'm sure every club has players that love their coach, players that dislike their coach, and the rest are professional and do the job regardless.
At the end of last year there were some Broncos that came out and said that they owe their own personal development/success to Madge. Does that flip in 9 months? Who knows.

True. Although they may be right now, the issue for me is that they've been pushing this narrative for 12 months. Even when we went on our run to the finals those flogs were still pushing it.
"Sources close to the club suggest that they don't like Madge"
The one that shits me the most though is the Haas stuff...Haas, who came back from Origin after being coached by Madge and said that things need to change around here. The same guy that always puts in apparently left because he doesn't like Madge? Haas came out, gave his reasons and they're still like...
"Nah, he doesn't like Madges methods and wants to be coached by Wayne"
Never mind that the guy has tried to leave a number of times for Sydney before Madge even got here.
They're just a bunch of wannabe celebrities posing as journalists.

I don't think the players have a problem with Madge, I think the boys are a bit mentally broken and way down on confidence at the moment, when both Gee and Klein doubled down and penalised and set restarted the boys into absolute oblivion against the Roosters and the Warriors I think on top of the injuries the mountain just became to hard to climb.
We'd already been fighting the refereeing since the start of the season but those two games really stick out in my mind as a turning points where the boys lost their fight.
We still have the injury problems, we're losing players to origin, there just hasn't been a let up and a chance to recover.
If the injuries settle after origin, I think we can recover and play some decent football, but I think it might be too late to save this season.

Like, what other team this year have had both left and right-side wing/centre combinations different, almost every game this season.
Our starting props and lock haven't had one game together since rnd 7/8
We had to sign players into the Top 30/ Development just to field a 20 man squad.
Reyno and Bunt are probably having their worst year of footy at the same time.
Not to take away that Madge's coaching decisions have been very dubious at best just to appease Reyno and Bunt.
IDK what playing group wouldn't be a bit frazzled up until this point in the year. Unless Madge sorts out our rotations, mainly with the props (stop going SMALLER in rotation), and stick to the fastest squad, no Bunt or Reyno, we are probably going to suffer the rest of the year.
As someone mentioned, last game we had only half the premiership side on the field. The other half are still in their first year of NRL, and we had 2 injuries in game too.
Not making excuses, but there definitely needs to be a bit of give considering the above.

That's going to be a fine.
The punishments are less severe if they happen during Origin.

It'll be a Fine and nothing more, I'm a bit concerned about how utterly shit he was tonight though, that better be out of his system by next week.

I'm not even sure the Broncos tax could get it to a grade 3 which is required for suspension in Origin
