The broncos make me sick. Peter Wallace is a dumb piece of shit. Josh Hoffman is a pussy androtrop who gets smashed every time he gets the ball. Corey Norman is a useless merkin with no creativity. They should get dropped from the team and maybe the broncos may start winning some games. They had plenty of chances. In broncos defence. Will Chambers benefit of the doubt try was a load of crap. He clearly knocked on. There goes the season. The merkins are f**ked!

Much better game by the Broncs. I think they are a 50 50 call away from a win.

Hoffman 2 mistakes 2 tries. Maybe back to Redcliffe next week.

For the first time in months Wallace was barely acceptable which is a vast improvement for him!

Tonight's game proved one thing, and that's Ben Hunt should have been our Halfback all season. He setup all our tries tonight, made a couple mistakes with a couple poor kicks and that dropped ball, but otherwise, excellent.

We really struggled up the middle when Hannant and Civ came off. We really missed McGuire and his aggression off the bench, and f**k knows why Capewell was in the team. We would have done better with another forward on the bench. Maranta should not have been dropped for Hoffman. Hoffman is clearly out of form or disinterested, or both. Hodges tried his f**ken heart out tonight, and if that last pass sticks, we win.

We've definitely turned the corner, and I think we can win our next 2 games and carry some good form into the finals.

We are closer to a win, because next season is a game closer...

There is a distinct lack of urgency and enthusiasm amongst many of the Broncs, along with a general disinterest in supporting each other.

The refs didn't cost us the game tonight. A lopsided penalty count actually got us into that second half... Poor ball security, loose passes, lack of direction, missed tackles, bombed attacking opportunities and terrible kicking options cost us tonight.

3 kicks out on the full, FMD... Amateur hour much?

Slump football is just so heart-breaking to watch. Doesn't matter how good we'll play because we'll just find a way to lose eventually.

Hopefully we break the streak next week, would love it if we did.

Piss off then. Broncos dont need fairweather fans like you. Gota stick through the tough times to enjoy the good.

Wallace is the worst player in the NRL , bar none. I remember when tigers fans used to hate on John Morris, well Wallace is worse . Get rid of him and we will be a good team

Don't hold your breath man. He's not going anywhere if the CEO is to be believed.

I supported the Broncos since the first time I set my eyes on Rugby League. Probably before you were even born. The piss poor effort that has been put in by a team of such wealth and class is just unbelievable. With all the marvellous talent which has been scouted by this team we should have dominated the table taking the minor premiership consistently for the last two decades. Thanks to a shitfight of a management that was riddled with pathetic power struggles and the coaches poor use of players we are about to drop out of the top 8 and not even make the finals. This for a club of Broncos stature, is an absoluste abomination.

Unless Wallace turns into a magical player in the next 2 weeks and carries us to a Semi or Grand Final appearance, I honestly pray to god that he is sacked / terminated from the Broncos, he has had the worst back-end to a season I've ever seen in my entire life.

I'm with you on this.

The very fact that Ben Te'o is yet another up and coming superstar that is walking away from the Broncos to go to Souths is the proof in the pudding that our Management is turning us into a player factory, which I said I was concerned would happen the moment Dave Taylor, Brent Tate and Darius Boyd walked away.

Another cracking first half from the boys. That bad call really seemed to bring us down. I thought Norman went pretty good at fullback. Same with Hodgo. He put his hand up when we needed someone to. We are just around the corner from a win and some confidence, which will helps in the finals.

I hated the idea of Norman at fullback...but goddamn I've missed having a playmaker in the backline that can actually support. During the first half it almost felt like the Broncos of old..the play that used to be our bread and butter for so long briefly came back. Short Pass from Half outside to fullback, short pass from fullback to the inside..and it worked 2-3 times..then for some reason, they stopped doing it.

Kicking was appaling from all 3, 3 kicks out on the full in the first half is pathetic, even though 2 of them were VERY close to being in.

Really missed McGuire off the bench, and what the hell is Capewell doing in the side?

Hodges 1 (I can forgive the chip and chase at the end, Wallace on the other hand...)

Pretty good performance from our guys. Hopefully we take it to another level next week. Our best is good enough, it is just a matter of being at our best for long enough in a game to get the win. The Storm just too experienced and got over the line.

I'd say the Broncos are one of the best run clubs by management actually. I think you are just overacting to a bad patch of form. Teams get out of these patches and the team has played better the last couple of weeks so the win is just around the corner. Stopping being so over dramatic and just stick it out with the team instead of writing them off, you are a SUPPORTER, dont be like the f**king press and criticise everything your team does.

It's a shame how bad Wallace has got, I remember how good he was in the first half of the season, with a real possibility of being in the NSW halves.

Before the game I was resigned to the Broncos losing but they showed some ticker in the first half and in the last 15mins. Unlike other games where we completely screwed up an attacking play it was only the Storm's great scrambling defence that stopped us scoring a couple more in the first half. Storm's first try was so ridiculous, I still can't believe it!

Absolutely horrible kicking, almost every kick on the last was either taken on the full by a storm player or out on the full. TOTALLY unacceptable in the top grade. Hoffman has completely lost it, he was hopeless on the wing.

While I'm not that disappointed at a Broncos loss to the Storm, I am disappointed in the team as a whole. We have no less than 7 SOO players in the team and we have lost 5 straight, in fact, we have lost 9 of the past 13 games. Unbelievable! We can put that down to one thing, our play makers.

While Wallace had an ok start to the season (We were lucky to fall over the line in a couple of matches), he has had 2 full seasons of just shit. I don't think we should get rid of him but he NEEDS to be dropped.

I'm also unhappy with Thaiday as captain, he doesn't seem like a true leader.

What started out as a perfect start to the season (exception of Jaral's injury) has turned into a nightmare.

Here here austy.. I'm pretty happy with the game still. Remember a lot of us agreed it doesn't matter if we lose every game from here as long as we show some promise and determination.

I watched Wallace very carefully last night and up until his dumb idea at the end to kick it up to slater > field goal. I thought he played his heart out and it's just a shame he hasn't got the speed or vision to make an elite half back. But he's the best we have currently.

Hunt at 6 and Norman 1 works well. Hoffman needs to go to reserve for a game or 2 and get his head back into the game. I think theres a good reason he got dropped for being "late" last week.

Was interesting to see how terrible we slumped at the absence of thaiday civo and Hannant.. Glenn and mguire would have been the difference in this game.

But we lost by 1 pt. The way the teams below us are all losing it seems we might stumble over into the finals of we can get 1 more win. But who knows what will happen from there :/

If we play like we are now, we'll be out in straight sets.
