Brisbane were flat which was always a possibility after last week.

3 straight home games for them now though, so not a bad position to be in even if they haven't clicked yet.

And can we stop talking about th Panthers yet? No one cares lol

 

[Dogs Of War]

Game was over before it began when Henry opted to play Bird over Cullen at 5/8.

Well you may get to see Cullen soon if ash Taylor is injured. At worst he should have him in the bench just in case. Which would mean they could possibly blood him at some time during the match.

 

[McLovin]

Game was in the balance until the fools in red took over. Flattering score due to referee inconsistencies and bogus calls.

 

[Big Pete]

Calls went both ways.

Titans had three calls go their way in the lead up to Mead's try.

Milford was facing his own try line when he lost it, it was really no worse than Bird's on the footage that was shown.

As for the Roberts penalty, he made a half-break and was entitled to a quick play the ball until James flopped in. Even so, the Broncos should have had a penalty minutes prior when Paasi got Gillett high.

 

[Shorty]

Such an inconsistent game.

The line-breaks and points came too easy for the Broncos. Lulled them into playing brainless footy and the Titans really fought their way back through their big boppers. Despite missing the all important two, they'll take more out of that game and I can see them being that 10-12th place side that will be a real pain in the arse for any team that's marginally off. Their physical brand of footy complete with Taylor's kicking game (how good?) makes them a nice package.

I still don't think the Broncos are a top team just yet. They've done enough to be in every game but if they were the real deal they would be undefeated. That game against Penrith exposed them and until they lift their game I can't get behind them as a premiership force.

With that said, I really liked the performance from Roberts. Scored an early try, shrugged off a painful injury then earned a vital penalty at a key interval. He's finding his feet in this side and I'll be very excited to see how he performs during the Origin period.

How do you keep a straight face and write a decent review when so many other Broncos stans in this forum are muppets:lol:

You're such a hard marker cause I think the Broncos are still the top team, they aren't playing to the level they were last year but there's really nobody else up there (obviously the Cows but having the same hunger will be difficult).

The Dogs and Parra look good but they still have more faults imo.

 

[Maximus]

f**k there are some whingers here.

And you are the biggest sook of all. 99% of your posts are crying that people are picking on the broncos.

Still struggling I see

You sure are.

Fitler was captain by default.
Laurie Daley was the Australian captain.

People really shouldn't speak wen their head is rammed so far up their own ass they have NFI.

Brad Fittler is the only player in history to win two Rugby League World Cup's as a team captain. The third most capped player for Australia. 19, tests as Cpt, I could only find team lists for 18.

A default choice as captain of the national side you say?

This moronic statement can only be symptomatic of one or all of the following;
a) You have clearly NFI about RL,
b) Your stupidity abounds so far that you are unable to make a considered point or valid argument,
c) Your bias is such that you'll denigrate the career of anyone that isn't a QLD'er.

Which ever it is I actually pity you, please for the health & well being of future QLD. Don't have kids.

 

[user_nat]

You may have put more effort into that than was needed.

Some pretty solid teams in there though, better than more recent Australian lineups anyhow.

Agreed.

We're five weeks into the competition and I haven't seen any side make a serious premiership statement just yet.

In truth, the competition is struggling this year and every side has issues plaguing their credentials.

Sometimes it's fairly clear early on who is and who isn't going to make it in September.

2016 feels different.

I reckon you can throw out all the form guides and preconceived notions, until one team steps up and plays no excuses football it's anybody's competition.

Not really mate, just a quick cut & paste. Interesting to see "it" cannot see how much of a ludicrous post it was.

At this point I can only see a replay of the 2015 GF Pete. There are still 21 weeks till the serious stuff starts. At least I know I won't get false hope by my Drags qualifying for the real comp.

Interesting I see 2 options here;
Option A) He carry's on like a moron and posts without thinking & someone calls him on a genius level comment he's a troll. All for entertainment.

Option B) Maybe he's just deficient in most areas of life.

I'm going option B). it's been happening for too long without any signs of subsidence to cut it as a troll. It's been full genius for years now.
