Who won?
Not much younger than the warriors or the Roosters. couple of players drag those sides up.
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.
If you're going to name those players then
Yow yeh
Hala
Hannant
Gillett
Thiaday
Teo
Parker
Hodges
Petero
Then throw in Reed and Hoffman for half the game.
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.
I'll tell you all what this thread is about -
The "Baby" Broncos were the firm $1.45 favourites in the game last night. They were beaten and yet, are still given the praise and adoration from the media for being valiant in defeat.
Perhaps we could re-write a story that reads - The REAL underdog WINS
The team with the smallest operating budget in the competition has beaten the team with the largest budget - and by 13+ points.
"The Baby Broncos" is just a media moniker. I highly doubt that the players like being referred to in that way.
That idiot Phil Gould probably coined the phrase. It smacks of a channel nein thing.
That rocket surgery comment was deliberate.
They should do Cardy. Biggest club and whole state to pick fromThe 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!
