The Baby Bronco Myth

[fizman]

Sick to death of hearing this absolute nonsense.

Let me try to put this into perspective - if Cronulla had some injuries, we could pick out the best players from 4 or 5 different clubs in the competition.

When Tim Smith was playing for the Easts Tigers he was paid $200,000 for hanging around and was "available" if needed.

The QLD Cup could even be cosnidered stronger than the NSW Cup.

I am extremely proud that we won tonight

Their depth is way stronger than anyone else's

Myth already debunked. Baby Broncos is a nice name, but they rarely win.

 

[Southern Shark]

7 Origin stars and they say they are under cap. WHAT RUBBISH. Only when teams like the Raiders Sharks or Panthers have 5 or 6 Origin stars and Storm and Broncos have 1 or 2 stars will the salary cap be working. Still waiting ARL Commission.

 

[Card Shark]

Baby Broncos exist & have proven themselves many times. To call them a myth is underestimating our victory.

You obviously haven't seen there past results against us??

 

[blacktip-reefy]

The "baby broncos", the once a year team, rarely win. Thats a fact

 

[Eion]

I remember we smashed the baby broncs at shark park one year not too long ago

 

[Plastered]

Yeah but how good are they? If it was baby Sharks we'd lose 60-0.

That particular game pissed me off no end. The Baby Donks were given all the wraps. I remember it well.

But get our stats men to check on who was playing in the sharks lineup that particular game and see their ages and how many of them only had a few games each under their belts.

It was a load of crap that game... and I bet my hunch / memory is correct on it too. I remember having great delight in shooting down load mouth donkeys supporters in my home patch. It was very enjoyable.

Don't know about wraps, certainly received a ton of sympathy though!

This thread is as good as any to congratulate you guys on a great victory. You played perfect Rugby League in the opening 20 and played the game like it was an Origin. Plenty of great performances from your lot and you guys are well and truly on your way onto the finals.

Cheers for the great game of footy (don't think I've been vocal about a game all year :lol and hopefully we can do it again in September.

We should have won by 40.

60-40 is a fair representation of total expenditure on footy oeprations, after the salary cap.

 

[Plastered]

I reckon 60-40 is being generous. Aren't we talking biggest budget v smallest budget?

Baby Broncos? The average age of the team they field is no younger than any other team in the comp

Wank wank

 

[Fieldsguy]

Referees did their best to give Brisbane a fighting chance again, and of course on a Friday night.

Might wanna check your facts before a throwaway line like that ;-)

So wrong.

Their avg age was 21

 

[blacktip-reefy]

Not much younger than the warriors or the Roosters. couple of players drag those sides up.

 

[Card Shark]

The Broncos have the best youngsters in the game who always shine when given the opportunity, as they did tonight.

Difference was, we were too good & too smart. f**k me dead, you'd think some people would be more happy with a fuvkin loss!

Just like Brisbane's origin players drag up our average. Hence why the side without those players is the "baby" side. This isn't rocket surgery.

Not sure if you noticed but its a young persons game now

Cameron smith is deemed a veteran and he is my age
