I feel like I've heard this before. So weird

Bellamy side got hammered these finals. Really they should of went out to a severely beat up and depleted Roosters side. Bar a miracle bomb and a poor 6 again call.
Great coach but shows without the squad he can't produce miracles.
Nelson Solomona looked a shadow of himself this season. Hardly fearful. Storm need a few new forwards. Sides steam rolled them in the finals.

Yet we got smashed by that mediocre side.

 

[Gary Gutful]

The Storm aren't what they used to be, but they are still too good to be described as 'mediocre'.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Yet we got smashed by that mediocre side.

Cronulla and Canberra copped even bigger hidings in Melbourne then we did. Yet they made the finals.

Storm are still a strong side especially at AAMI Park but not the elite force that they looked like in the past week to week.

and both those teams were severely kissed on the dick with a cosy draw.

Are Penrith better this season? You have no Kikau or Api. So attack isn't as potent but then those two don't have the defense of Sorenson and Kenny who although played last year are getting far more minutes this year.

Staines was in the side as May was injured but now you have Turuva who is miles better.

These are the differences in the side.

Salmon, Staines,Kikau,Api

Cogger,L.Smith,Garner,Turuva

It's interesting to think about. Form wise I reckon Crighton and Spencer have gone up a level whilst most others seem about the same.

Cleary has more resources and is even luckier this year.

 

[hineyrulz]

Wouldn’t be hard. For a team that knows how to beat them we were very disappointing in last year’s GF.

We didn’t have a chance after a tough game in the Ville, pissing themselves and rolling over after the 6th min had nothing to do with it.

 

[hineyrulz]

but i thought CB was the gold standard of the spit polish....

Sadly for Martina most of that spit is landing on the windows in the coaches box.

So not too long ago when Kevvie was Qld coach and the “coach whisperer” was about and shortly after when Kevvie took over the Broncos, it was widely stated in these pages that he had NFI. Mumbling and fumbling his way through games.

So has he all of a sudden got a f**king idea or does he just have a great squad now ? Does he get credit for assembling the squad or is he just riding the wave ? Life is confusing.

Hand on heart I’ve never thought he was anywhere near as bad as said. He inherited a rubbish squad, albeit one with a lot of potential. He deserves plenty of credit. So does Ben Ikin.

He has a coach out on the field called Adam Reynolds which makes things 100x easier.

Even players like Gamble and Cobbo said on podcasts last year Reynolds runs the team.

Kevvie is the spokesperson and motivator.

Yep, he’s just another Mal.

Didnt Ikin & Walters have a falling out hence why Ikin took the QRL job.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Whose on the coaching staff up there.

I see John Cartwright & Matt Ballin in the box regularly with Kevvie. I wouldn't say they are tactical geniuses.

Cartwright i would imagine is the D coach. Ballin not sure what his role would be.

Is the anyone else in the background.

You constantly come on here to tell everyone hey look you guys where wrong.
Obviously emotional sporting fans say things in the heat of the moment. And in life in general people just talk shit. No need to take it all so seriously. It's just chit chat.

But I don't want the Broncos winning shit Walsh can go eat a turd.

The big interest is in the competition for who has the most punchable face - Walsh or Luai?
