POST GAME Round 4 - Broncos vs Roosters

[Locky’s Left Boot]

I am getting sick to death of hearing how we are a young club and that we are rebuilding.

I haven’t ever seen a rebuilding club absolute lose the plot over a 5 game period in the manner and margins we have. It is completely unacceptable and I am so glad I held off becoming a member until I saw what shape the team came back in. I haven’t even seen fucking Gold Coast teams have a block of defeats to the magnitude we have. I am honestly lost for words and there better be some fucking accountability this week whether we don’t have the fucking depth or not. Start by giving Dearden a crack alongside Croft. Give Coates a start over Oates.

Guess it's better than jackass..

Serious question, if we lose in the same manner to Manly next week and it’s in the vicinity of a 36-6 defeat or worse, should Seibold be sacked on the spot?

Forget about next week, he'll be lucky to survive this one.

Stick it up on every wall of the training room.

the deal isn't that good.

I had to check the calendar for a second there. I thought I was back in 2018 reading your post. Exactly what was happening then, except we had a much more experienced team and a guru coach...

This is by no means a post supporting Seibs. He still has some leeway from me, but needs to take a page from Bellamy's book... no holds barred, fucking shoot the hostages if need be, to get these guys to do what they should be capable of doing since the U13's.

I know inexperience and injuries are a factor, as is the 6 again rule, which we can't seem to adapt to, but before we look into anything else, we need to smash into these kids' heads that their talent is worthless if they can't get the basics right, like hold the ball with 2 hands on your red zone (yeah, talking to you Flegler), stick to a tackle and stop post contact meters, get back to marker immediately, etc...

There is definitely a rot in Brisbane's youth, possibly a cultural issue from spoiled teenagers playing for the biggest team in the NRL and only one in RL's capital city, perhaps a very misplaced sense of entitlement and arrogance, which needs to be hammered into submission.
Whether Seibold is capable of that, will decide his future in the game. I hope he's aware of that.

You can deflect and go on about the previous coach until the cows come home mate, it's not going to change a thing. Pies has had 18 months here but I'm sure it's all Bennett's fault Seibold can't use a bench properly, it's probably Demetriou's fault the players can't hold the ball, a deep state WB loyalist is responsible for their being absolutely no cohesion in the team. I can't begin to imagine who'll cop the blame for the piss poor review that we allegedly had after copping an absolute shellacking in the finals last year. Talk about entitlement and arrogance, the back office is a boy's club that let some half baked clown get a five year coaching contract because the media spent a year fawning over him for getting a stacked Souths squad into the top eight. Why would the players feel accountable when the coach and admin so obviously are not?

Seibold said burn the boats, not the bloody club house.

Interesting to note he said we had $4 million of cap on the sidelines.

Bird
Glenn
Fifita
TPJ
Staggs
Turpin
Kahu
Riki
Palasia

Bearing in mind that Fifita isn’t on his massive contract yet, Riki and Palasia would be minimum wage players and apparently Glenn resigned for peanuts, if that is $4 million dollars worth of cap on the sidelines than the club is still an absolute fucking basket case list management wise

Who takes over mid season?

 

[Locky’s Left Boot]

Now also bear in mind that the fucking cancer that is Isaac Moses manages Seibold and half that fucking roster and why has Moses suddenly gone off the radar and not been fucking called out on this shit? Might be time to start asking the questions about him again. Absolute tumor to this club

demas wong

Here is some sobering perspective.
In the last 3 losses, these have been the points total.
Broncos - 6
Opponents - 151

Let that shit sink in for a minute.

This is my frustration....2 years on we arent making headway into the cap.

Boyd is gone next year that's 700k.
Kahu gone - 300ish?

The rest exist.

Our absolute dismal defence funnily enough has glossed over our attack. Granted we have been on the back foot and starved of possession but even at full strength I struggle to see how we score points as a unit?

Oates is an absolute shadow of the player he has been and with Boyd inside him, it is not going to help his cause at all. Even when Oates was killing it, he had centres inside him who could beat a man and draw the winger in and put him in space. Even if we had peak Oates, there is not a fucking chance in hell that Boyd can get himself into a 2 on 1 situation.

Boyd is done offensively.

Arthurs and Issako aren’t guys who can break the line and beat defenders 1 on 1.

Milford is shot to shit and is regressing big time.

Everytime Croft sets up a try assist with a neat kick we fucking bomb it anyway.

This means our main source of points or attack in the backline with no Bird is Kotoni Staggs. That is it!

We are still back to relying on our forwards and individual efforts to score points even at close to full strength. We only beat Souths because we just passed the ball to Kotoni and he just physically outmuscled his opposition centre for 3 tries.
