"Baby Broncos"

[TheVelourFog]

Why do the media insist on still referring to the "Baby Broncos" during Origin time?
It's not like they supply half the team like back in the day, there are 3 players out FFS

Just makes it easier to pass off another tepid display I guess

It is such a cop out. Just reality armour for Broncos fans. And a ready made excuse. "Oh but it was just the baby Broncos that lost..."

So all teams that have players out should be referred to as the Baby...?

you're an idiot

no Broncos fan would of used that line had we lost to the Tigers given they're missing about as many players as we were

 

[TheVelourFog]

I don't think the fans would use that excuse, but the bizarre perception is still out there in some form

 

[Pierced Soul]

it's stuck the same way "pride of the league" has stuck for a team which gets laughed at by fans of all the other clubs

I have no idea why they do it, we have a young squad already, sure we lose a lot of experience in Thaiday, Parker and Hodges, but as valuable as those player experience is, it's not like it use to be. Media beat up

It's a myth, the guys that were "babies" in the past are pretty much the senior playing group now.

Darren Smith and Michael De Vere comebacks surely on the cards

Because everybody hates you.

 

[redvscotty]

Because they're a merkin club run by merkins probably.

??Making out like they're the reigning champs?

Cause they have won 50% of there games.

Gee, Broncos fans really have to grasp small victories these days.

Should we steal Manly's banner? "Everybody hates us - we don't care".

 

[Jason Maher]

Only got the win due to a bullshit penalty too...

I know right!

I mean they might be sitting in 8th now, but the Broncs are coming up to what is traditionally their strongest time of the year right! Beware the booming Broncos!

Has more of a ring to it when your team is good, not aggressively mediocre.

Explain.

Mate, everybody has been hating us since Alfie was tearing Johns a new one in '98. It's not like we aren't used to it.

This thread is worthy of Bunniesman.

Lazy journos reaching into their tattered bag of tired cliches.
