Going to be a hectic last 12 minutes when SBW gets a run.

208 metres for Ted. Just need to find an extra few inches for a banner.

SBW is another level of offloader, will have far more of them than anyone else at Roosters

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.

Its really been a perfect storm of things going wrong. Injuries. Suspensions. Poor recruitment decisions. Poor contracts going back 3 years. Poor coaching. Experienced players just phoning it in. gilletts broken neck. Young players not kicking on. The list goes on.

At this point there are probably 7 or 8 players that are worth keeping in the roster, but obviously you just cant turn it over that quickly.

Its actually fascinating.

He should get it because he did a try save and got the 5 points but for some reason they took it off.

501/7C.

All downhill from here.

Looks like it was SST that got rested this week.

The thing is, all clubs have similiar issues and adversity to deal with. That all points to poor management decisions from CEO through to the board and coach. The player attitude/behaviour is a flow on from that.

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.

And the endless Friday night games!

Oh i agree 100%. Board/management are responsible for where the club are right now.

Anyway, enough about the Broncos from me.

You joke but their constant favouritism by the media and NRL is one of the main reasons I hate the club. I don't watch on FTA anymore, but I hated seeing the Broncos every Friday night on there, and the shitty Ch9 commentators just pumping up their tyres at every opportunity.

Haha, fair enough.

Not to harp on but I also find the Bronco's fall from grace interesting. With recruiting, because the broncos have such great access to young talent coming through, I feel they are almost overwhelmed with options to choose from and have suffered from trying to retain everyone which was a catalyst for the downward spiral.

I have been through too many shit years as an Eels fan to feel sorry for the Broncos. I don’t hate them or wish ill upon them but Im sure nobody felt bad for us when we got the spoon 2 years ago or back to back spoons in 14-15 so now it’s the Broncos turn to suffer. Their players(not a lot of the current team) and fans alike have enjoyed a fair level of consistency over the last decade or so so now it’s time to suck it up. Swallow your pride and just take it

I was going to comment on a previous page that no one knows what Broncos fans are going through more than an Eels fan.

Very likely this year's just a once-off for the Broncos, though... Eels fans probably have another 34 years of suffering to go.

I do because I've hated the Broncos for as long as I've been watching league, and every depth they sink to is nourishment for my soul.

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

As a fellow storm supporter I really struggle to understand your gripes and also just your over the top dislike of other teams. Firstly we have such a successful team rarely disadvantaged by things that I can't see the basis of your hatred of another team. Secondly its just a sport and as others have said its simply one team of exceptional athletes pitted against another wearing different shirts and yea the media hype shit but you get that with all sports. I think you should take some perspective and just support your team and appreciate that this Broncos team are a bunch of mismanaged kids let down by a poor system, rather than revelling in their failures

I'd argue the expectations and scrutiny around the broncos is different to what the eels would have experienced in the past.

In fairness to Darius he was halfway through telling a Knock Knock joke to the Touchie when he was caught unawares by a football game.

You think Darius has a sense of humour?

550/9(c) pushes me into the top 1,000 temporarily at least. Only 3 players tomorrow, then 5 in the Storm/Sea Eagles game on Sunday.
