f**king pathetic Broncos. Had the game wrapped up and threw it away.

Wont make the 8, Hunt cant handle the pressure when the game is on the line, Cant get it done when it matters.

Tell me just what I'd be excited about again? I don't follow either side and I was merely giving my opinion. Dropped ball and soft tries go hand in hand with most Broncs performances these days in case you haven't been watching them.

I thought their intensity was good and the forwards hit hard in defence but they severely lack class in most areas. Hodges is a husk of the player he was, Barba is now rubbish and uninterested and Maranta and Reed? Just fu*king lol. Also, Hunt only looks ok against piss poor opposition.

How good do you think they could be with this current roster? I'd say they're overachieving if anything.
My mistake, there's another Dave on here that's a Souths supporter.

Hodges is playing pretty much as well as he was 5 years ago. Barba is in bad form, if he turns his form around then the Broncos will obviously improve. Hunt's best game this year was against the Roosters.

I think the team is severely hamstrung by its poor kicking game. Hunt is still horribly inconsistent with the boot and no one else seems to be stepping up to alleviate the pressure on him. If this issue is addressed, I think the Broncos would improve greatly.

Gotta cut hunt some slack, he is the only half in the side, easy target and yet he has the broncos in the 8, Thurston and Melbourne are doing a lot worse with a lot better.

Barba needs to make himself an option for kicking on the last tackle. At the moment you know Hunt will kick and you can put a shit load of pressure on him

I'm pretty sure I remember everybody telling the Dragons it's not about just the last decision that is made. Over the course of the entire game we got as many bad calls against us as we did for us.

I'm pretty sure I remember you calling for the Dragons to get the 2 points, too.

99/100 that sort of play is called a strip.

Just cause Sterlo doesn't like the rule doesn't make it controversial.

The front on shot CLEARLY showed that the Brisbane player reefed the ball out.

This game was a toss-up in who was going to win it.

Overall,I though Souths were the better side.Brisbane are a good solid side who will definitely be in the eight.

Plenty of time to make up the numbers.

Broncos deserve it. They have been getting the rub of the green for years about time they got a call go against them.

Didn't deserve to win really. Good game though, thought it would get really ugly after about 15 minutes.
