As I said in the second sentence, Madge says he's in the frame to return this week, but that was never once the plan. If that was the case, just say so, don't feed us bullshit.
We're at about what, close to 10 months post surgery? The risk of re-injury has been significantly decreased. He played on the weekend, felt good, he can't play 30 minutes off the bench?

Play Jaiyden instead of Gos, Bukowski instead of Paix, Duffy instead of Reyno, not play Willison in the backrow, where he was completely ineffective, and use one of the actual backrowers we've had in QLD Cup.
Maybe it wouldn't have worked out any better, but when you're trying the same thing multiple times and it's still not working, perhaps try something different.

I dead set think you have reading comprehension issues. It’s the only answer for how you take absolutely everything the wrong way. At this point it can’t be intentional trolling. Nobody has that much time.

I would love to know what material Paix has on Madge to keep getting selected. I would rather bring Sammy Thaiday out of retirement to have another go at it (yeah, remember those days?).

With Josh McGuire coming off the bench for 30 minutes. That would be a breath of fresh air in 2026

To expand on this:
The Broncos 'young guns' are Cameron Bukowski, Antonio Verhoeven, Phillip Coates and Tupou Francis. Madge can't just pull a Leka Halasima out of his backside - if the Broncos had somebody of his ilk he'd be in the team.
The hooker with the best pass is Bukowski but physically
I'm not a big team list guy. To me it's more about strategy and getting them to play a brand of football they're capable of that gives them confidence.
If there was one player I'd like to see it's Mason Teague but I don't think it's a bad omission.
For mine a bad selection is picking Nio at right centre when all his success has been down the left. Not sure what Madge or Head are thinking.
With that said, if I was just going to go Rugby League Live with the team.

I'd have to buy a new controller but I'd probably score a nice try or two with that.
