I'd like to offer a formal apology to the NRL. Bloody hell.
I mean, you get a score like that and there's obviously something off with one of the teams. Any number of excuses can temper the loss, and there's really some good ones, but that doesn't excuse the fact that my team is sh*t.
Interesting though, listening to the commentary, there was a lot of talk about the Broncos being at the bottom of the table and that this was therefore a huge surprise. But really, get a team with that much momentum and skill, particularly off the back of a decent Origin win, and I doubt any team would have stopped them today. Maybe a stronger team would have shaved 30 points off the total, but today was more or less like watching the Broncos train.
Never any doubt that they'd bend us over and give it to us particularly savagely. No lube is a bit unfair, but still. This is a brilliant indication of what a team can do when the opposition doesn't even bother to stand in their way.
Well done to the Broncos, I'm not intending to take anything away from that.
Football is stressful.
