    It's similar to how I think a lot of people see the Storm, and if we were to have a year like the Broncos have had, then I would think many people would share my outlook on it

    If the Storm had a season like this it would be the best thing I've ever witnessed in Rugby League.

    This is true. The Broncos have to fall a long, long way to get people to pity them rather than revel in their misfortune, yet here we are.

    Thats kind of sad tbh

    I enjoy watching league. If its a neutral game then i want to see a good contest.

    I dont really get the "hate" though. Always thought it was funny how rugby league fans of one team think they are different from rugby league fans of another team. Its all the same shit. We're here for the same reason, just a different bunch of athletes that we dont know personally and decide we support.

    I was going for them tonight. I wanted them to be competitive but it's just sad now. You have to worry about these young kids mental health.

    This is a concerning outlook. Really concerning. You shouldn't be proud of this now. It was amusing at first but now Seibold walks away with his million and these kids are left to try and pick up the pieces.

    6/369 fo me so far, not too bad despite me wishing I'd backed myself and captained Teddy. Hope Cleary can get at least close to that score, but we'll see how he goes.

    If the Chooks could do this to Brisbane with half their spine out, then I can't imagine what a full-strength Panthers team is going to do to the poor Broncos

    I thoroughly enjoyed every second of the Tigers giving them a touch up.

    Now I've resorted to feeling sorry for them when 50/50 calls go against them .

    I do still want the Dogs to get a win so Broncos can get the spoon.

    Oh don't get me wrong, I feel sorry for some of the Broncos players (Haas, Carrigan, Dearden, Fifita, Staggs, Farnworth etc.), some of them have been trying their absolute guts out. Those guys deserve better than the reserve grade teammates that they've got.

    My hate of the Broncos is mostly reserved for the fans and the media hyping them up for years on end.

    I take no joy in seeing them flogged like that. I do think they deserve the spoon though, so will be rooting for that outcome.

    Now for Cleary to stay relatively quiet to not get too far ahead of Carrigan's 62

    619/9(c) first good (half) week in forever, even with CMc as captain after chickening out of Ted.

    The problem is there's no light at the end of the tunnel for them, nothing to make anyone think their fortune is going to change. Whoever gets the coaching gig is going to have a massive challenge on their hands. The bronco's management really underestimated the value that experience brings when they push out the older players. It's boys vs men out there now sadly.

    yeh i can't get behind that mentality, like the next best thing to a Broncos premiership for me would be a Roosters wooden spoon, but that's where that fantasy stops - this constant dogpiling and harassment to the point of killing the mental health of blokes just playing a game for a living and driving the coach to the point of a mental break, you can miss me with ALL of that shit.
