    David Morrow

    A sad day for all A great commentator across a raft of sports including the Olympics If the NRL have any soul they’ll have a minutes silence before kick off tonight I might break dry July and have a beer for him tonight. RIP big fella

    Dufty v Sloan

    If he was doing some of the 5th tackle kicking our forwards wouldn’t be working nearly as hard defending ground.

    Dufty v Sloan

    It might be a proper shot to you but I’m sure many would disagree and see it no more than lip service I am merely making the point that for 52 games we have seen Sloan who is getting more than a fair go and we have seen Zac picked there for how many maybe 1 game under Hook. Am I relying on the...

    Dufty v Sloan

    I said he was promised a shot at it not the spot https://amp.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/flanagan-to-give-lomax-another-shot-at-dragons-no-1-jersey-20230906-p5e2fg.html

    Sloan

    50 + games in and Sloan is now catching bombs 2 weeks in a row woohooo Sloan is missing 1 on 1 tackles but will learn woohoo Sloan is often out of position but will learn woohoo Sloan doesn't support nearly enough in attack but will learn woohoo Sloan needs another pre-season to improve woohoo...

    Broncos R19 in Brisbane.

    K F has a good feel for the game and the situation but alas lacks pace and assuredness (probably a hang over from being badly handled at the Chooks) He is so close to being a better than good player but I am sure that the Sharks, Chooks & Dogs all knew his shortcomings though and whilst few...

    Broncos R19 in Brisbane.

    Without trying to get into arguments my take away's +'S 1. Winning against them is always pleasurable. 2. Side runs more cohesively without Hunt. 3. Backs scoring tries validates point 2. 4. No Lawrie meant better options in their 20. 5. Sloan successfully caught bombs again. 6. Convincing 1st...

    The Rumours Thread

    In fairness I never put the kiss of death on the team nor do I think we will lose every week and at times I do predict or give a view as to how we might get or go about a win. No doubt I am a hard task master in what I expect from our coach and team and mediocre success doesn't cut it for me...

    How the f**k are such basic questions loaded? If improvement has been achieved it should be really easy for you to enunciate it. Saying their loaded simply means other than the win / loss column and the position on the ladder people are struggling to say / demonstrate what has improved and...

    A truly objective person would evaluate who the wins and losses were against as to understanding if "real improvement" has been achieved. I for one believe that a team can actually win more games but have "played" as bad or worse overall in achieving that result.

    Nice work Mojo but having just seen the rear end of my young kelpie Max I might have inadvertently got it right.

    At least you know how damaging a bad red wine can be (let alone a Penfold's VO Invalid Port) to one's perception of the world. I would love to catch up with you and watch a replay of our games and do an analysis of them with you whilst doing some wine appreciation. In fact the club should...

    I'm happy to look at the areas we have improved so by all means enlighten me? I'll start Result wise we are winning more games than last years anus horribilis (but the jury is still out on the overall 2022 result). Result wise we are winning some tight contests that we might have lost last...

    Try pink text next time. Our forwards are intimidated and outplayed by any reasonable pack let alone the likes of Easts who have put 100 on us in 2 games but somehow you think they are a dominant pack FMD there wouldn't be a pack that wouldn't relish lining up against our lot. 2nd stringers...

    Please understand I'm not unhappy that we are winning. Also please understand that if we play finals footy that would be good for the club, the players, the fan base. But please understand I like to also understand if we are improving in the real sense or more as a result of other's decline...

    Commentators

    You are quite correct. The beloved grandson has a job doing stats for a company involved with the NRL. One "measurable" is "commentator animation" and another "coach's reaction". These have real consequences if not enough hits are being recorded.

    Perhaps you might like to have a crack at answering these and give some insight as to where the "team" has improved other than on the ladder. Are we a smarter team? Are we a defensively better team? Are we a better attacking team especially in the opposition 20? Does the team have a better...

    As usual you don't read enough. There was a lot of criticism after he was let go (not just about the perceived lack of support over the allegations) and also after he had a (emphasis on a) break out game for the Broncos. By the way it doesn't take many to be many in this place as there aren't...

    I haven’t put it up just yet We are improved on the ladder position that is true but please take into account how some teams have markedly regressed when we analyse the following Are we a smarter team? Are we a defensively better team? Are we a better attacking team especially in the...
