2018 EF1 Sun - Broncos 18-48 Dragons @ Suncorp

No it wasn't. You just can't run in front of the fullback and take out a chaser.

Uh, based on how those situations are otherwise refereed in every other instance in every other game, yes you can.

 

[Sphagnum]

penalties 8 all.

That's a losing penalty count at Suncorp.

 

[hineyrulz]

Penalty count was 8-8

So much adversity.

Get ready for an inundation of likes merkins, about to crack a beer and go back through the thread and froff for a few hours.
To the genuine broncs fans, like Grimesy, blaza, gut, some1 and a few others, best of luck for a big 2019. Got some brilliant young forwards and will be a contender again next season. Never for a second did i think we'd break a long, long Suncorp losing streak today.

You mean lol@gronkos

What a masterstroke to give the Broncos their choice of finals opponent last week. I always knew they would choose the wrong one.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Nah, I think most of us are just very happy with today.

As you should be

Or Roberts - how does this imposter get a SOO gig?

He won't next year. Waqa is your man.

Please. Nene was moving to be a blocker for Dufty as is done by all wingers to protect their fullback when receiving a kick but got there too late cleaning up Kahu in the process. If Nene was already there in front of Dufty he has every right to stand his ground but he can't move 5 m sideways and take out a chaser. Personally i'd like every blocker penalised every time as the fullback gets enough protection from the rule change that prevents them from being tackled in mid air.

Mate half of all block running plays involve block runners 'getting there too late'. When two opposing players run the same line without deviation and then collide, both are just as guilty as each other for the collision, hence why it is play-on.

Didn't Brisbane only need to score one more point anywhere this season and they would've played the warriors?

Imagine if they had just one decent playmaker

 

[gUt]

I'd like to know where the refs went wrong officiating a 30 point loss to Brisbane at suncorp? Surely todd greenberg gets Hoppa to kill a Sutton now?

 

[Willie Ray]

Bad luck to the Broncs and their fans...see ya Big Sam Thaiday....that's a great career...

Great game from the Dragons,huge game from TSims...there wasn't a bad Dragons player really...
great games from McInnes,Frizell and Ah Mau but it was good to see Ben Hunt to play so well after all the sh*t he's copped...

Oh and suck a lemon Bennett.

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.

Just when you thought the evening couldn't get any better.

Sheer perfection!

Sunday’s are normally pretty depressing being grog sick and with the working week ahead.

St George changed that this afternoon. Great performance from them. An all round great effort.

EAD Wayne, Darbs and co.

In March no less. The gold standard.

You gave your take on a few incidents and I gave a reply. I take it your call of "quality meltdown" means you have nothing?

Some classic deflection and avoidance by clearly butthurt Broncos fans

Suck shit Broncos

Suck shit Broncos

Who is deflecting? You're the one who brought up meltdowns. Merely acknowledging the meltdown to end all meltdowns. Credit where credit is due. We'll have next season. Your epic dummy spit will shine on for eternity.

Keep crying those salty tears

Why the hate? You're so clearly cared about around here. Even IBM was trying to console you that fateful March evening.

The only negative from today was upsetting Sir Wayne. Please come back, you lemon faced king.
