Broncos r11.

Broncos early season form has deserted them, they look like a fairly ordinary team at the moment. We've mainly not come away with the chockies but we've been in all of our games except the Roosters. It is a bit of a long shot, I know, and smart money is on the Broncos, but I've seen enough to be at least optimistic that we're a chance here.

I sympathise with all those finding it hard to switch the tv on at the moment though. Most of us started the season with some real hope of a top 8 finish and it's drifting away from us in an agonising manner, because we are losing games by the narrowest margins and that hurts like hell. Death by a thousand needles.

I have thought about not watching the games myself to save from experiencing the agony. However I've decided that we are unlikely to be a top 8 team now so it doesn't matter anymore, I'm just going to have fun watching our youngsters come through and play football, hopefully sign an elite prop at some point and by next year we have a competitive pack full of our top juniors with one or two elite players brought in to supplement them.
That's the way The Word. That is my intention. Watch the juniors and the guys in KOE Cup. No use pulling your hair out (that's if you still have some). Just take one game at a time and enjoy watching the youngsters and the wins that we can get. Of course it would be a different story had we won those 3 games we lost by a point as those wins would have put us in the top 8 and maybe a chance to play finals footy but it wasn't to be for the luckless Dragons.

Just enjoy the game. Win, lose or draw it is just a game and not worth getting stressed out over it for this year.

It sad to think this once Great club stood along side with Pride of the league, stood head above all other Sydney clubs, now is just a shadow of the true St George Dragons. It's got too a stage now where every year after a 3rd into a season, you know there F'D. I don't even know why people even bother to watch the future, when they just walk away like Lomax.

It's not working at the moment , this is what I'd be doing with the players we have to try and turn the tide ......... Holmes to Fullback , Gutho to 5/8 or 7 , Allan to centre , Lawson to wing ........ Just maybe it might spark something because it ain't happening the way it is ........
Season will be dead and buried before any changes like that happen. I posted something similar recently but im now resigned to the fact Kyle won't be dropped so he has the 6 or 7 jersey guaranteed. Gutho and LKT couldn't do any worse in the halves and having a voice the players respect and will listen too would help. Not death riding but I think after Brisbane flog us this weekend Flanno will have to try something surely because he is moving further and further away from any extension and closer to losing his job. If I knew his manager was Moses I would've stayed well away from signing him as our coach and I guess a few other clubs thought the same.

If the Broncos come out like they did against the Dogs, Saints will be embarassed big time. Lets hope that Dogs games was their 1 off and they bring their past 2 weeks form. Even on that form the last 2 weeks they will still give Saints a hard time.

Season over after this game v Brisbane 4 straight losses and again no changes with Kyle sloan lawrie still back in the team . Possibly Brisbane 30 +'on Sunday we will not be able to match the class of Reynolds kicking game . His record over the years against Dragons has been his kicking game short long high all the above .

We lose this week, LKT gets dropped for Illias and loses his confidence, same way Flanno dropped Finau after 1 average game... Kyle could have an absolute shocker and Flanno still won't have the balls to drop him. Reynolds and Mam vs Kyle and LKT we will get absolutely demolished this weekend add in Lawrie and a horrible game plan when will there be real changes? It's insanity

Doesn't mean much but the bookies have us +11.5 so if anyone is optimistic feel free to have a punt at those odds.. we will lose by alot more then 12 points that's for sure. Broncos 13+ is almost stealing money

If we had played our cards correctly we could have actually made money with the Dragons loss/win record, over the last 13 years. They fail to win any important games, the last three games if you had taken, Easts, Tigers and Warriors you would be way ahead.
Forget this game the Broncos are way too short.
