At this rate we’ll burn Haas out by 2022. A 20yo prop should not be forced into playing 60+mins every week, no matter how much of a freak athlete he is

To be honest, he seems to be conserving himself. With his size, if he absolutely threw himself into the defensive line he'd do more damage but he doesn't, and probably prevents some of the wear and tear.

Probably a pretty fair indicator of how bad he's going that nobody really even acknowledged his dropping.

He's been comfortably the most disappointing player this year, it was only a couple of years ago that he was running for 200+ metres every game and scoring pies for fun, now he's a complete liability defensively and under the high ball, struggles to make any impactful runs out of our own end and is even struggling to finish off straight-forward try scoring opportunities.

His career looks to be going the way of Chris McQueen. Came into first grade as a lanky winger and made an immediate impact, eventually shifted to the backrow when the speed and mobility started dwindling. Completely irrelevant by their mid-late 20's because they're not strong enough or skillful enough to play 80 mins in the 2nd row every week.

I wouldn't be overly shocked if we've already seen the best of Oates and his career goes downhill extremely fast from here on out.

That’s what I’ve been said since last season, unfortunately most fans here make excuses for Oates being a young father
 
Please god just once this weekend can the broncos look like they have even the slightest clue in attack...just once will do me fine.

Im sick to death of seeing no structure. You can’t even say they look like they are working towards trying something. Our attack is putrid and our defence is even worse.

Honestly our attack looks like we have pulled 13 random people from the street who have never met before and told them to try and execute something they haven’t got a chance in hell of doing.

When is this going to change?

Just been to Lang park for the storm v roosters game.
Holy shit unbelievable.
We have to play the storm in just over 2 weeks.
If we’re offered a 59 - 0 loss I say we take it with both hands.
We are going to get absolutely flogged.

Or....we stink it up the whole season BUT put 30 zip on the Storm.

Any takers?

Did you keep a close eye on the 10m? Were either side onside the entire game?

Flanagan at times seemed to be taking the piss.

Couldn’t tell as I was behind the goalposts.
But the speed of the game is something we just can’t handle at the moment

I’ve brought it up as a possible reason why certain players have fallen off a cliff in the last 12-18 months as it’s a bit of a common denominator.

If anything I’m somewhat blaming their form on it, unfair and mean as that may sound, not using it as an excuse.

Figures
That shit gives you a 5 year trainwreck.
I’ll get back to you in 2023.

We lose every game for the rest of the year, except flogging Melbourne somehow. Seibold is moved on thereafter. I'd take it.

It was an awesome game, shame about the anti-climatic finish, but i enjoyed that game more than any broncos game i have watched recently.

Just how well drilled they are, the attack and defence moving as one and operating as a unit, the attitude and desperation to win every aspect of the game. It just goes to show how far off we are and at this rate, i dont see the premiership drought coming to an end anytime soon.
