The age of our first choice halves combination will tell you that we’re not about go start a dynasty of our own. After the 2015 and 2023 losses, it doesn’t get much better than this.
100%

Madge is definitely a horses for courses coach. Brisbane felt they were in the window and took the gamble and it paid off so congratulations to them

Walsh is getting credit for the tries he scored or set up but he pulled off the match winner with his tackle on Papenhuyzen

He was through and it would’ve been under the sticks

That was the game. Just more of the bullshit he’d been perpetrating for the first 79 minutes. Freakish.

Happy for one Broncos fan. My ill mother who has spent several weeks in hospital this year, but that's it.
The rest of you are lucky that your footy club is a rich club that wins premierships every so often as there isn't anything else to like about your city. I'm so glad my parents moved from there so I was brought up in Sydney.
Girl shut the f**k up.

your mum is a legend but you’re a monumental sloppy bottom

Apart from the Storm and Panthers in recent years, is that the norm though? I mean, most teams do have that window and maybe it's one Premiership, maybe it's a couple in a 3-4 year period, but then they cycle out.

Maybe a club like Brisbane didn't used to be like that, but maybe the norm is that they will be and that's the accepted thing now. I think they're good enough next year to make the 8 easily.

Or maybe that's an Eels fan who would take 7 straight wooden spoons happily if they came after a Premiership year....
Im not talking about subsequent premierships necessarily, most premiers give the next comp a shake and make top 4. I think in Brisbane's case they are happy to get the 1 while the window was there, especially after 2023.

They will make the 8 next year for sure, just not sure they will be any better than that because quite frankly they weren't this year and madge is going to have to sell them a different narrative next year.

Matt Kuhnemann and Xavier Bartlett in the sheds looking like absolute f**ken nerds.

Think Katoa passed too early but yeah Papenhuyzen scores under the posts if not for that tackle by Walsh. One of the best GF performances you'll ever see. Should have been binned though, lol.
