There's a reason I have barely bothered to post on here since I signed up and it's because this forum is filled with a bunch of the most ridiculous, illogical, hypocritical, sooky babies I have ever seen. Everyone's happy to claim that Broncos players are terrible until it's time to talk about how much they're earning based on their apparent skill levels (that you idiots in the stands worked out inside your own heads, apparently). This Broncos team is basically the same as it was 3 years ago when everyone was laughing at how bad we were, and we were bad. With some of your clubs you'd think the extra 80 years they have over the Broncos would have led to yourselves creating some benefits or advantages instead of creating hilariously inept clubs who struggle to make money or draw in young fans who want to represent your team.

I guarantee a huge amount of rugby league fans are the same kind of people who like to blame everything else for how terrible their own lives have become. The internet is hilarious when the Broncos are winning and it's only going to get better. Suck it up or go follow the AFL or something equally as boring. Super excited for some of your genius responses and hilarious jokes that I'm sure are super original and haven't been used on here a thousand times.

What garbage

The broncos are a one team town in the second largest Rugby League city on earth. Who thought your players were garbage ? I thought Anthony milford could have been the best player in the world since i first saw him play. There are articles written about him being the next Thurston from when he was 15 or something like that.

But i will expand on what typicalfan said and bronco fans want their cake and to be able to eat it. The broncos are by far the most advantaged team by the nrls current rules but bronco fans want to be able to keep up the old chip on the shoulder poor persecuted queenslander routine.

Cant have both

Just because your team is shit, coached by shit & based in the shittest city on earth. Clean your vagina out, it seems sandy.

Let's just remember the club on the end of the 53-0 drubbing is a side Wayne helped build that is still reeling from the damage.

In all fairness I think Tinkler did a lot more long-term damage to the Knights than Bennett. That's not to say he didn't do any, though. Dragging Darius Boyd into the place at great cost and precious little return comes to mind.

Haha that's pretty true. Even as recent as a few rounds into the 2015 season many thought the Broncos side was garbage and we're happy to make it known on these forums.

Lol when have the Broncos ever been 'bad', even their tough years have been mid table finishes.

The Broncos do get a whole lot of leg ups but they're a very successfully run club, Newcastle's front office has been a mess and there are habits in place that need to be addressed.
Money obviously does come into but look at Parra....plenty but still crud finishes (until this year).

Obviously the broncos are run well. No denying that mind. They have a winners attitude too which is good but bronco fans doing the poor us act cracks me up.

The chip on the shoulder dies hard up there. The nrl couldn't do more for the broncos. It's mutually beneficial mind but they are the nrls pets.

How often have the broncos missed the 8

The five-day turnaround: Brisbane wins again



However, the Broncos do seem to have really got the best deal from the NRL draw up to the end of Round 20:
• They play only one game with a five-day turnaround, against an opposition with almost the same handicap as well as having had to travel
• They do not have a five-day turnaround that involves genuine travel
• They play two sides that have five-day turnarounds, with both of them also dealing with genuine travel, and
• They play virtually all of their games at night so they can get in a good rhythm

The Broncos don't decide to play at night.

In fact, year in year out the club asks for more Sunday afternoon games because those allow for larger crowds and more income. And every year Channel 9 puts them on Friday nights due to the ratings.

If you have an issue with the Broncos' schedule I suggest you aim it at Channel 9 and the NRL for handing over all scheduling power to them rather than at the Broncos who have no say in the matter and would rather play at different times any way.

.

What like start up their own comp? And put a clause in place to prevent any rival teams in SE Qld?

The NSWRL/ARL saw the benefit of expanding into QLD and the Broncos turned around and f**ked them in the arse.

I wasn't the one who wrote the article....It's not surprising though how much favour the Broncos have..

South-East Queensland has shown it's barely able to support the Titans.

Sticking another team in Brisbane would be even worse right now.

If the NRL is going to expand with another team in Queensland they need to be looking at Central Queensland. S/E Queensland is saturated, and proposed expansion teams like Logan and Ipswich are both in the S/E.

Sydney teams are already having issues with being in a region that can't realistically support that number, lumbering an expansion team with the same problems right from the outset is ludicrous.

Lol you are kidding yourself.

Brisbane could easily sustain 1 maybe 2 more teams. It wont happen because the Broncos will veto it. Cant have the Broncos sharing all the resources that are on offer in a city of 2 million people.

Brisbane needs another team just to bring the broncos down a peg or 2 and to remove some of the advantage they have of being the only team in a big city.

A thread started about how bad taking the field goal was ffs.
The cows touched up souffs but nothing mentioned in that thread about lop sided blah blah blah bullshit.
The Broncos have used 19 players so far this season compared to the knights 28.
But don't that stop the green saltybutt so many of you suffer from.
The greatest football club on earth is always going to generate some serious butthurt.

Correct. The best & most successful club in the modern era.

Right, because we have the infrastructure on hand (or the political will and budget) to provide another NRL-standard stadium, crowds for the Titans are respectable let alone sustainable, and the local junior scene is anywhere near strong enough to provide for two teams in the Brisbane area.

Oh, wait.

Another team in Queensland is possible in the next 5 years or so if they put them in central Queensland, maybe based around the Comets and with a willingness to schedule games properly so that people in the region usually have travel time to get there and back home. Another team in or within an hour of Brisbane isn't going to be realistic for at least ten years, probably a lot longer.

Population is far from the sole factor here. If it was anywhere near as important as you're ascribing, the Titans wouldn't be floundering at the moment.
