Brisbane Broncos thread on how to lose a GI and a Lock and a semi final

    It's a large number apparently, but other sources say it's closer to 11-12. Still a fuckload, including the coach. I wish the NRL would ban him somehow.

    Glad to see Carrigan making his debut this week. Hopefully he'll become a leader in time, not a freak like Haas or Fifita, or probably even Flegler, but someone who'll do tough runs and tackles that no one else likes doing. Our pack needs a guy like that.

    What was the deal with Josh Mcguire?

    I had a peak on the Broncos forum around the end of last season and so many fans were hoping he would leave?

    Biggest issue people there had with McGuire were just his late tackle runs - instead of us spreading the ball, he'd take a hit up on tackle 4 or 5. Not once or twice a game, but fairly often. I dunno if it was part of the game plan or what, but it was frustrating to see sometimes. The irony is that we don't even get to tackle 4 or 5 anymore - we either kick it on 3 or just drop it lol. There were also all the rookie forwards coming through that people wanted kept...but I think that was more of a cope thing, I don't really think many wanted him actually gone.

    That is such an easily fixed problem tho. It’s 50/50 whether he’s even primarily at fault for taking late count runs. Easily fixed, with an actual fucking halfback in the side.

    Everyone wants a good halfback, but we just keep signing guys who don't even seem to push for selection at QLD Cup levels.

    There's a guy named Tom Dearden who seems to be looked at as the future, he won MOTM in his first ever QLD Cup game. But he only just turned 18.

    This problem was fixed. Boyd now takes useless runs on the 4th tackle.

    Our problems start at 9 and flow on from there.
    McCullough went from being somewhat dependable hooker to one who can barely pass a ball straight anymore. We shit on Milf and Kodi; but they are taking the ball above their heads, their ankles and their hips. And don't get me started with the passes that find forwards on the last tackle...

    I stand by my call in the preseason that:
    9. Turpin
    13. McCullough

    Is the best way forward.

    Main problem is the defence right now, and penis hands next. There are other problems too, but these are the main 2.

    Dearden to debut against Souths

    To me this pretty much confirms his move to the Warriors.
     
  12. jazman84 JM Eightyfour

    His, being Kodi's.
     
  13. Tartmaster AJ James

    Apparently this was meant to be Nikorimas farewell game, and he basically told them to fuck off and wasn't gonna play.
    So now they're pretending he's injured.

    Dunno if that true, but hilarious if it is.
     
  14. Magic AJ Parker

    From what I understand.

    Warriors approached Kodi in the off season, Kodi turned them down as he still had a 1yr extension in his favour at the Broncos.
    Seibold/Broncos told him after half a dozen rounds in that if takes up the 1yr option next year he'll be sitting on the bench
    He went back to the Warriors and said can we do the deal tomorrow, Warriors said hell yes and he said a big fuck you to the Broncos

    Everything other than the bolded seems perfectly fine to me. He had no right to be so salty about it IMO.

    Nikorima is gone.
    Roberts is pretty mich gone, apparently Seibold is trying to install structure in the side and Roberts hates that.
    Boyd is a dud fullback, I'd swap him with Bird and have him and Staggs in the centres.
    Dunno why guys like Fifita and Carrigan are getting so little game time, I'd be starting Fifita at least for sure.

    Surprised at just how much Im enjoying seeing Brisbane flounder. This all seems very reminiscent of the Henjak era, just need a few wingers on the bench.
     
  18. Boobidy BJ Gemmell

    Boyd doesn’t even need to be in the team. Isucko and Boyd should both be in reserve grade. Happy for Staggs to be tried at fullback.
     
  19. Maroon_Faithful M Faithful

    Brisbane need a marquee half and Milford at fullback. Needs to happen before 2020. Everything else will fall into place once that’s occurs.
     
  20. Magic AJ Parker

    Missing a forward leader.

    Lodge is overrated, hasn't developed like I thought he would. Ofahengaue is the best prop Brisbane have and he doesn't even start.
