Go on mate! Awesome stuff! Last week I came into about 8th or something from 40th after Saturday. Fully expected to go back out again on the Sunday but held ground. I think the comp is close, go well my friend!

Cheers mate. If I can maintain around 150 ranking at round end will be happy. Not owning Ponga is nerve racking though. Nofo subbed in pretty well though this week.

I don’t think it’s altogether a bad trade, just got the timing wrong.
At full strength, it has to turn around at some stage.
He almost made his BE.

It seems like the competition is suddenly on to fire current coaches quickly, so you get to pick the new coach that you want, before the best ones are all gone.

Really felt sorry for him in that presser, it was like flogging a dead horse. It just kept going, the questions needed to stop out of respect to the guy.

Reid gave it to him. He never has answers though. I know he can't say much but last attempt he has to do is drop Boyd Milf etc if we wants to save some integrity.

Agree, if he stays in the team. I think Croft goes first though.

Yeah quite a few I think-maybe Booze and MTB and VK.  

Won it a couple times.
Coulle years back it was a $200 voucher at NRLshop and then last years prize pack they got lazy and turned that into a voucher too.
Missed out the year in between that gave out some awesome prizes like tickets, signed jerseys which each club put up

For a free comp can’t complain but nrlshop isn’t as good as your clubs shop for choice.

Good luck, something fun to chase and keep you motivated
This years is $250 voucher

Maybe next year it’s Harvey Norman vouchers or even extra trades

That said, even if he is going to drop boyd and milf, he isnt going to say so in the post match presser.

Got all the KM back which is good if he doesn’t get dropped

WTF? Mofo is deadset the unluckiest fantasy player, he is owed at least 2 TBs if not more. I guess CK and LS are salty they didn't buy him early.

Looked like he’d already received it via text

We are literally never full strength.

I can't believe I'm writing this...but I actually feel sorry for the Broncos.
This after 30+ years of despising them
Seibs had no answers and Hoops just kept at him.
But, the Knights had to live through a three-peat of wooden spoons, something Brisbane have never had to face. Builds character, they'll appreciate the good times when they finally return.
Should sell TPJ or Offa, Milf and much Boyd into retirement, then buy a couple of experienced hardened forwards and halves who can steer the team and provide talk in defence.

Yeah of course.

Ben Ikin next Broncos CEO?

Can't get Bennett back, get the son-in-law instead.

To cap off this wonderful season, Fifita will probably leave. I will actually cry.

Russell packer 54 mins, where did that come from

But Milford, don't you think the Broncos obsession of trying to hold TPJ, Haas, Fifi, Offa, Lodge etc. etc. the exciting young pack, is the reason they pushed experienced players out of the team.
The Panthers often let their young forwards leave and pick the best of the pack, you can't keep them all.
Fifi could have been retained if they released other young forwards.
Seibs has no clue on who to retain and who to let go.

We havent lost anyone that would make a difference to this rabble, outside of josh mcguire. Id argue that still doesnt matter too much.

You can name a better side with the players we have out injured right now than the one that took the field tonight.. still no excuse for what we dish up and changes HAVE to be made.. but boyd cant really get dropped if no one else is fit. Dearden obviosuly has to come in

Honestly, you should have kept Benji. Evidence: tonight.
