POST GAME [Round 2, 2025] Broncos vs Raiders

[Dazza 92]

What me worry?

Could be worse - could be a Eels supporter...

Or a Cowboys supporter.

I'm not judging the teams chances or potential based on our 2nd straight away fixture. I thought preperations would be affected for this game given the cyclone - it did appear it took 40 minutes of football for the guys to realsie they were at a NRL game.

No, instead i will judge this team on how it plays against the teams we "should" be looking to emulate - Melbourne, Penrith, Cronulla.

No need for panic after two rounds of football.

I will say though - we may have to take a step back to make two forward.

The quality of 2nd rowers in the above teams are a mile above ours. Cobbo "may" have to be sacrificed to ensure we get one ourselves....

Paix fined 1000 dollarydoos apparently.

I thought he was going to the bin when I saw the replay .
Grabbing between the legs and lifting is a big no no .
Tipped old mate upside down . More good luck than good management he wasn`t severely injured .

Our backrowers lack talent. I don't think anyone should be expecting Riki or Jetski to ever be anything better than average in most of their games. It's the price we pay for putting all our cap in our front row, halves and fullback. I think Piakura should be starting over Jetski, but I feel like Madge won't make that call.

Can’t have stars everywhere but does seem we are lacking in 2nd row

I might be off my head, but I swear I saw Reynolds make 3 tackles in a row in the middle last night.

I remember thinking that's strange, and being worried about him breaking something.

Could be a fever dream though.

Hearing word that Kevin Walters is challenging the judiciary, fighting for Paix to be suspended as this will make way for Billy to get the starting role.

You just know there's someone on here dumb enough to believe it.

We're probably going to have a couple of these results as we get used to Madge's system. Even back in 2014 when Madge won the premiership with the Rabbitohs, they started the year 1 from 4 with one of those being a 30-18 loss to Canberra.

He`s actually one of the most effective tacklers in the team .
Often dominates . I criticise him a bit . But he is a tough lil Mo Fo in defence .

Why does everyone take us so seriously? Acting like they just won the gf? I swear no one acts like this against penrith and storm. (Not including the roosters upset on Thursday since that was the exception not the norm.)

We haven't won shit in a million years. Maybe do that against the 4 time premiers and the team who have been consistent top 4 for the last couple of decades. The way Ricky was jumping up and down on the sidelines was comical for a round 2 game. It's almost pathetic.
