An appropriately disgraceful end to what has been a disgraceful season as a whole.

Piss poor attitude has haunted this side since Round 1, and once again, you can lay that entirely at the feet of Boyd. He did his best to lift us today....Only after the result was beyond doubt. In the first half he was exactly what he was for the entire season prior, missing in action.

Andrew McCullough is close to the worst hooker in the comp, and all those who have been cheerleading for him all year need to have your heads read. He is no better or worse than Nathan Peats. The fact that he Bradbury'd his way into the QLD 9 tells you all you need to know.

Thaiday, thank you for your service to the club, but you have no idea how relieved I am to see the back of you. Finally.

McGuire, I get the feeling is starting to treat his place here with indignation. He's been bog average all year, and the fact that he's blind in one eye probably isn't doing him any favors. With so many quality young guys coming through now, if he costs us one of them and remains playing like a busted ass, I'll be livid.

Also from this day on, this team is **** banned from signing anyone named Sims.

3/10 season. Not even kidding. The sheer amount of squandered potential on display.....It's vomit worthy. Dragons, Souths and Rorters are entirely beatable this year. A Grand Final appearance has deadset gone begging because of players who like to treat this club like a paid holiday.

That's all from me. Footy doesn't exist for 6 months, and if the NRL doesn't get its shit together in a big way on a number of fronts, soon enough it won't exist at all.

Brisbane sacking Hook and replacing him with Wayne Bennett who stayed loyal to Sam Thaiday, Kody Nikorima, Milford at 6 and recriuted James Roberts and Korbin Sims.

Result ....... nada.

Gold.

Agree with the above, Broncos have zero set plays and the Dragons just need to run some well rehearsed set plays that isolate Kahu in particular and they can pull off the upset.
Utterly f**king destroyed, except it was Roberts who was targeted.

Maybe McGregor is a genius after all.. well played Dragons.

Your the one who quoted a post from an hour ago! So it's disingenuous to say I'm still going on about it.

But just because you asked:

How do you explain the mid air tackle on Dufty that resulted in a non-existent escort call against the Dragons.

Or Lodge thugging it up and seconds later a Dragon getting binned. Or Lodge dropping it cold and knock back getting called?
The Dragons winger made a bee-line to get in front of Dufty and took out Kahu in the process who in mid air then took out Dufty, correct call.

The binning was correct and when leading by 20+ points with a minute to go had absolutely no bearing on the result...

I'll give you the Lodge knock on as I thought he dropped it as well. But every call of every play can't go against the Broncos every time. You carry on as if every 50/50 call goes the Broncos way and is premeditated by the refs.
