When have I told you not to? In fact you just told me "go away and leave us in peace" a couple hours ago ffs you f**king wanker.

You know why I said that? Because you get personal, which you've just done again. You're not the only one or even the worst, but it can certainly be done without in a place like this.

Can you please just f**k off with the 'holier than thou' attitude. You're in here implying people are shit fans because they aren't happy with being 2nd last.

Just post your opinions and leave the "what suppoters the club has" I'm better than you act out of it because it's getting really tired.

You can discuss your opinions, MX and betcats and others. Is it OK if I discuss mine?

You can express your opinion, you just need to let others do the same. Telling people they arent supporters because they don't agree with everything the club does is ridiculous and douchey.

We're all fans here. We all hate losing. Some of us just dont cheer on every decision made. When the club has arguably the best roster it has had in over a decade and Griffin has them performing worse than any team we have fielded in over a decade theres a great cause for concern.

Results speak for themselves. Griffin had a below 50% win rate at the Broncos after Lockyer retired. His win rate with us is even worse. This is the man Gus headhunted and sacked Cleary for... yet his only truly successful NRL season was 2011 on the back of an immortal.

Fans of this club are no less positive than fans of any other sporting team in the world. Every sporting club going through a rough patch has angry fans (not to mention the fans angry at those angry fans). I don't recall the exact circumstances surrounding the old forum closing, but if it was just a few angry fans venting then the club has (or had) it's head in the clouds. There's literally no fanbase in the world that would put up with what we did in the latter half of the 00s without venting.

Cutting off a direct line of communication with your fan base by banning/shutting down dissent always seemed insane to me. You don't change anyone's opinion by shutting your eyes and pretending it doesn't exist.

2 wins from 9 games... that would mean we need to win 10 from 15 to scrape into the top 8.

Its not impossible. But its incredibly unlikely

With this peahearted roster, it's impossible. We just rollover and show them our belly when the going gets tough.

Exactly, as it turned out the criticism of the club at that time was entirely on point, we were being run into the ground from the juniors up we were terrible and the nrl team had some horrible back ended contracts and a clueless coach who hasn't been employed as a head coach since. That's what I don't get about Froggy, we were literally one of the worst run, worst performing clubs in the game at that point and years later he is still having a whinge about people having negative opinions, how could anyone not have a negative opinion of the club back then?

Not technically true. He had a stint at the Warriors but they were trash under him as well.

I wanna see one of these merkins take the bronco by the horns and fkn show us some of the flair from 2016.

Give us pricks something to smile about for a week before we go back into haying griffin after a loss.

f**k, he irks me though. His final comments video on the Facebook page, christ I don't Know how he manages to motivate himself to get out of bed each day.

Dry as f**king gyprock.

I like it when they asked him if its getting to desperation stages and he said just said no. Like how much worse does this season need to get before we are desperate to win? We should be desperate every f**king week.

They have to win to justify the same selections again after such shithouse performances. A loss and Griffin has to go. You cant just keep picking the same blokes and playing like shit and not lose your job.
