Crash back to earth. Still cannot handle being out enthused for 20 minutes.

Woeful handling.

Walsh had a shocker.

The dumb 6 agains....

Long way off being panther killers

Good to see BHQ is back to sky-is-falling form early in the year.

Definitely reasonable to assume the season is over and it's time to sack most of the team.

 

[HarryAllan7]

Just awful.

Night and day from a week ago. Non-existent line speed in defence, totally disorganised in attack, totally out-muscled and out-enthused by a team who very clearly wanted it more.

Canberra played incredibly well and everything went their way, but we were also really pedestrian, didn’t look interested at all and made some really stupid mistakes to top it off.

Big wake up call for Haas and Carrigan, who last week looked like gods and this week got shown up by a pensioner and a redheaded bloke who had a tantrum and cried like a child during a game.

Hope Madge rips into them. Reckon they’ll cop it ALOT worse from him than they would have if Kevvie was still in charge.

 

[ningnangnong]

The attitude was all wrong from the kick-off.

Raiders came out with aggression and purpose, and we looked like we thought it was just a matter of turning up.

Also, once again our game intelligence was diabolical. We are an incredibly dumb team.

Good luck Madge...

I didn't want to win anyway..

 

[Allo]

Pathetic

Any sign of resistance and we wilt.

Half the team is still cooked mentally, and Reynolds is not the guy to dig us out of this, because he's one of them.

 

[Bull Shark]

Still downhill skiers until they prove otherwise

 

[Dee]

It's not the loss that hurts.

It's HOW we lost.

Do you understand?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Terrible effort, and very disappointing. An unacceptable amount of errors. Walsh's worst game in Broncos colours. He looked like one of his loved ones had been taken hostage the night before. Our second rowers remain utter garbage. Even Carrigan and Haas were nothing factors. SURELY we have some decent second rowers kicking around in Qcup somewhere to give a crack? They can't be any worse than what we have now. Riki has well and truly worn out his welcome with me.

Out enthused, bashed right out of it and utterly ambushed. I'm beginning to understand why Bellyache never wanted to come here now. This group of divas would give him a stroke.

Welcome to the Broncos, Madge.

 

[HarryAllan7]

On the sole bright side, there were no injuries to key players.

Would rather lose and live to fight another day than win but Reynolds / Hunt / Walsh pick up a season ending injury courtesy of Canberra grubiness.

 

[Scorchie]

Starling MVP, guy was everywhere

 

[Mustafur]

wakeup call, hopefully all the shit we have in us came out in this game and we learn and build from this.

 

[Battler]

Raiders played like they were in a gf, we didn’t show up, the ref was a joke and the raiders exploited him well. Expecting a big bounce back next week

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Low key feels like we get them with 10
more mins of game time.
Lesson learned, don’t play like a bunch of spuds for 70mins.

 

[BroncsFan]

Complete disaster second half... they withstood it all in the first half and kept it to 6 at half time, then couldn't be fucked trying to compete again in the second half and conceding try after try off the back of their own errors

 

[GCBRONCO]

You know I kind of wish Walsh did a Piakura and got sent off 1 minute into the game, probably done better.

Bad jk aside I was expecting an ambush and we got one, they came prepared and we made it easier for them. You don't show respect with the ball in hand, you don't make the tackles and proper line speed you may as well give them the 2 points
