He’s the Queen of Salt. Of all the guys getting around in commentary these days, he’s the one most obviously butthurt for never getting as many accolades as a player as basically all the media guys around him. You can clearly also tell he played in the Broncos golden era and getting pumped regularly by them has just ruined him for life.
I also watched the highlights replay on nine now.... I couldn't stop smiling with the genuine devestation in the nsw commentary team. Johns and fittler deadset sounded depressed.
 
Was it just me or did Cronk completely stop speaking. An absolute toss.
Yep, he was speechless and upset. Did he have money on the Dogs to win or something? The whole vibe was so off after we won. They were so upset about it.

My favourite comment tonight was Ennis saying that Broncos didn’t win the game, Dogs beat themselves.
CRY ME A RIVER!!!
I have mad respect for the way Dogs have climbed up that ladder after being at the bottom for so long, cause god knows we’ve been there too as a club, but if anyone has watched the dogs play, they play amazing for one half then fall apart the next. The commentators speak of them as if they are perfection and have the premiership in the bag. Their obvious plan of this fairytale story for the dogs in the GF isn’t working how they wanted it to.

I’m so glad we won to shut them up!
Even the boo’s that Mam was getting had disappeared 😂
 
just wanted to say I think Jordan Riki had his best game since mid last year. He was mature, aggressive and was perfect in all effort areas. He’s got it in him to be a real serviceable player for this club. Hold onto the ball lead the kick chase and roll your sleeves up. He was brilliant tonight

Whatever happens this season, I’m glad I was on this page tonight. Everyone was on fire. 😂
 
In all seriousness.

Who in their right ****en mind at the Dogs thought it was a good idea to poach and throw in the deep end a rookie half from a bottom dwelling team, into a team that is demolishing the competition for the most part and working well together.

They took a side that was working and gelling well and tossed a big old spanner into it in the middle of the season.

I would be livid as a Doggies fan and calling for heads to roll if this derails their season.

This could destroy Galvin like we almost did to Dearden in our dark days, as well as collapse the Doggies season.

It makes no sense.

Gus loves him like Slater loves Walsh (although the Walsh love is more deserved)

Bloody crazy hey?! Im assuming they wanted him for next season, but panicked when he wanted out asap so they thought they gotta sign him now to not lose him for their future. But to even add him onto first grade is the worst decision from Ciraldo. They’re coming first for a reason, it takes years to build a team and to learn each other’s game plans so to then add a 19 year old with a lack of experience into the mix and think it was instantly going to work is unbelievable. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

He’s completely changed the energy and dynamic of that group and unless they drop him to reserve grade they're going to struggle. He’s just not ready. They’re only making it worse for him and his confidence. I can see why Mahoney and Sexton were not happy when he came.

I get the sense Ciraldo and Gould have too much pride and will keep him in the team, but I think this big decision will bite them hard.
 
I couldn't watch the game tonight, but was keeping tabs on my phone with updates. I pretty much gave up checking when I saw 18-0. Came home I turned on the TV with 5 mins to go and was in shock that we were up lol. Had to rewind back 20 mins on fox as I couldn't believe it. Absolutely insane stuff.

Legit exact same situation.

From the 18-0 disgust to seeing the score when i got home and rewatching it.

Bonkers.
