Even that loss we were up 18-0 early from memory and got run down late.

With a banged up team under Trent Barrett

The what? The where? Who?

Exactly.

Seen the photos of the Front & Back of the courier mail this morning.

They should frame it in the sports bar of the Brisbane casino

 

[Sensei Cobra]

Reynolds injured ?!
Im shocked !

 

[JokerEel]

Reynolds should have retired after they won the GF..

Benny Hunt was horrible the last 10 mins, Donkey's only won last year when he went off and couldn't shit the bed.

 

[Once was Sparky]

good win by the eels hopefully a fair few more wins on the trot starting with the dragons & NRL darlings penrith

We have 5 games in a row now at home.. Panthers game we are the away team but its still our home!

We should really be looking at winning 4 of them of we are Shirley.

Ben Hunt in clutch moments is awesome to watch as an opposition supporter.

Debelin went okay tonight, but he is slow, in saying that he’s not there for his speed

No he didn't. He had no impact at all. Got totally dominated every time he ran the ball. As for his defense, Guymer is better at it.

 

[TheRam]

If we win a comp I will get a nose job just like his.

Saved to the vault.

Yep, the new tweaked PVL ball is even quicker and it’s passed him by.

It was noticeable at the game how off the pace he was. His hit ups had the same impact of a 50 year old Justin Tsoulos.

Yep the new PVL ball will do away with the front rower playing lock.

Cam Murray type of locks will start to come back into the fold.

We even saw our hookers both taking dummy half runs..

These first two games, it's like his gassed during the warm up and he has nothing left for the game. Last year he was at least having some impact, but this year so far he has totally just dropped off a cliff.

Is the option in his contract in his favour, ours or mutual, anyone know?

 

[JokerEel]

Broncos get the Storm next week hopefully the Storm continue to play like they did against us and put up a cricket score..

Fairly sure its a Club option even if it's not he is best going to the UK and finish up his career... should even start looking to go now.

Kraken will achieve the same thing

I said it before the game to mates

Since 1988 no sydney team has beaten the Broncos more in Brisbane then Parra.

Think the old ANZ stadium days in the 90s with garbage sides we knocked them off history books say we won the first game there in 1993 and then drew in 1994.

Then the Brian Smith era. Where we beat them twice in 98

Then again 99,01,02,03,04

6 times in 9 years under Brian Smith no other coach got even close to that.

Then we still beat them and had a winning record between 2007-2012 post Brian Smith.

3 wins (07,10,12) 2 losses

Then the BA era we won in 2014, 2017 (put 52 on them), 20, 21, 22 (53 on them)

Then Jason Ryles 2025 & 2026 is 2 wins from 2 at Suncorp.

Lets face it were the Broncos Bogey side from Sydney when playing them in Brisbane since 1988

Some great results there, particularly 1993 and 2003 which I attended

I remember the 2004 one, this one and last night's had similar situations. We got flogged in Round 1 and won ugly in Round 2. I remember how frustrated we played in 2004 with so many errors but thankfully good tries to Grothe and Hindmarsh helped us
