Toddles did everything in his power, but just couldn't get them over the line... knights absolutely perfect by going a full game without committing a six again... from second last on the ladder... not sure I'd ever seen that in a game, but in 2025 I've now seen it at least twice against the broncos

Well, we could have been a lot better, but fmd if we cannot buy a penalty count. It is just beyond a joke at this point. There is no way we are that ill-behaved relative to any other side, and there is no way that every team that plays us become angels.
 
I'm still speechless after Walsh's kick for touch.

What did I just watch? Help!

We’re the Broncos
The mighty Broncos
We keep fighting every second till the end

We’re the Broncos
The greatest team on earth
We’re the heart of all Queensland

Never stop
We never rest
On and on we beat the best
Never giving up we bleed maroon and gold

For the league
We risk it all
Miles above
We’re standing tall
We’re the finest and the greatest club of all

We’re the Broncos
The mighty Broncos
We keep fighting every second till the end

We breathe in our soul
The best game of all
We are the Broncos of Queensland

Hey!!

Well

The Broncos are our name
Through the north we won our fame
Being handy with the ball
And we drove the Blues insane
And we put on a move
And we scored a certain try
So sing out our alibi

You didn’t know we had to beat ya
And we’re so sorry my friends
You didn’t know we had to beat ya

We will never do it again

Bullshit

I think I missed that. What happened?
 
Messy Game. Knights left a few out there and so did we. We need to be better against the better teams but good win and good for the for and against. If we can somehow come 4th, beat raiders first round of finals and have a week off, we might get Ezra and Willison back.
 
Great to get a win but the Knights were woeful. Billy is great in attack but like his old man he is a turn style in defence. Problem is Madge knows it and hides him out between Shiba and Kaparani.

We look to be playing with two of the most average second rowers in the league. J Hunt is barely NRL standard and Riki is a 6 again/penalty magnet with the footy IQ of a rock.

I love Reece but he's back to his rocks and diamonds stuff.
 
ELEVEN -3.... we just won by 34 points..... and it was 11-3

.....

If that's isnt suss I dont know what is.....how can a team dominate so much yet be on the back foot in the ruck so much they need to do nearly THREE TIMES the infringements/penalties..

The thing is this isnt the 1st time for us this year AND I dont think we have won a penalty/6 again count all year? And we are noticeably fitter than nearly every team in the competition. How is it even possible? Questions need to be asked here. Theres no one who can justify the above lol. If it's not corruption, theres at the very least bias. It's crazy tbh... "good teams win despite the ref", unfortunately, this isnt 1 off games, when it's week after week after week it is a bridge too far, and the nrl know it.
 
Huge crowd, old boys day, yeah it was messy as all hell at times, Knights were tragic, and still not a finished 80min performance, but we won absolutely comfortably again in the end and we know we can score points at the flick of a switch
 
Despite the scoreline, not a totally convincing win, we see glimpses of good stuff and then follow it up with average stuff.

Reece is hitting form at the right time of the year, he might just be enough of an xfactor to drag us to another grand final.
 
I think I missed that. What happened?
Brisbane were having a shocking set of six in the Knights half, so Walsh goes to dummy half on play four and just kicks it straight into touch.

Turn-over Newcastle on their 20m.

It was like Walsh just had it with the rest of the team and decided they didn't deserve the ball.
 
Our contact was dog shit, they defended like they were playing their first preseason game in the heat of summer.

Paix delivery is too slow, he needlessly holds the ball up, it was such a contrast when Smoothy came on, the same way it has been throughout the year when Billy came on.

It was a typical Todd smith game where he thinks it’s his job to keep one side in it, our class came through in spite of it thankfully.
