Brisbane Broncos after 2019 finals

LOL that's it guys, to use a phrase from Emperor Palpatine in Star Wars

 

[BadnMean]

You should hear the things I’ve heard to defend him

it wasn’t that bad
The family are just faking it for sympathy and money
He is a good guy who just did the wrong thing

they are shameless

Not his go

Chalking it up to salt.

Unless something dramatic happens, 2020 is shaping to be a write off for the Broncos. Even if they manage to release Darius Boyd and Jack Bird from their contracts, there aren't any free agents on the market that will fix their short comings and the players they have coming through are in the infancy of their professional careers.

Their best hope is that they use next season to build up some combinations, get some more experience into their players and set themselves up for 2021. It's just a matter of what the club decides to do after the 58-0 drubbing. They're under immense pressure to make changes and they could find themselves bending over backwards to sign a big name and earn some PR.

Lodge would be a terrible choice as captain. He's a quality player and deserves to be a part of the leadership group, but the captain is the face of the club and Lodge has done far too much damage to his reputation.

The issue is, it can't be Darius, Glenn could be headed elsewhere and the other candidates don't really behave as leaders. Seibold has a high opinion of Matt, dating back to his time in Melbourne, so if you took the NYC incident out of the equation, he would have been made captain.

You should also point out the media coverage and how they waited 18 months before their moral panic.

 

[Hawkins]

Is lodge even the right sort of player to lead a team in the first place. Gives away a lot of cheap penalties. Is always one brain explosion away.

Siri, find and replace the name Matt Lodge with Cameron Smith.

Sounds strange but I wonder if the Broncos and Dragons would consider a Bird/Hunt trade.

Hunt and Milford brought the best out of each other and Dragons need a good centre.

 

[Pete Cash]

I see that moving Boyd to left centre has been floated.

There are some big boys at right centre out there. People should watch his “effort” tackling beej on the goal line round 6

Need Kiwi to weigh in on this.

These forums have lost some of their best mental patients

The Dragons are welcome to Bird but a big no thanks to Hunt. Hunt when he decides to use it he has a good running game and is ok with a dominant organising 5/8 like Widdop but he's not an organiser himself and that's what we need to drive our young forwards around the field.

What's to deflect? You and many others hate the Broncos and their fans.

I hate the Storm for all the hidings they have handed out to us over the years and after the 58-0 drubbing from the Eels you can add them to the list but I don't feel the need to go into their forums and hurl abuse. Have you considered that maybe you are the one with the salty boots on?

This is the NRL forum isn't it? Or have I stumbled into the merkin forum?

Same thing innit?

Apparently Broncos are flying to New York to do their pre season at Rikers Island.

 

[Slackboy72]

Was Darius responsible for all 11 tries they let in against Parra?
Was he also responsible for the 7 they let in in the same game in 2018?

Getting a new spine might help but learning to defend will always keep you in the game.

They could arrange to play their trials against under 12s teams.

You can have Ben Hunt back if you want.

 

[Someguy]

9. Turpin
7. Hunt
6. Bird
1. Milford

Could it work?

They should throw the bank at issac luke or chis lawrence and make them captain.
