I don’t listen to it but did the Cum Throwers grovel and say “nots not what I’ve seen at training against the cup side” lol.

Tell me more about how elite our squad is, please!

I don’t want to listen but tell me those Cum Throwers are telling us we’ll regroup and win the comp 🤣🤣🤣

The issue remains, we don’t sign anyone elite, and failed to sign one this year when actually trying to. Same old, same old with this r&r team.
We lost D Brown and Lomax and replaced them with Pezet, Kelly and JDB lol.

Our squad was already dead set ordinary and we lost two world class players and replaced them with utter plod. Sam T is the best forward we have produced in over a decade and he's still not signed up long term. WTF are the front office doing?? Not their f**king jobs thats for sure.

From now on they should be referred to as the cum throwers and only as the cum throwers.

Just on Iongi, of all things I’m worried about that isn’t one. Papalii will make a good fist of it and might spark some energy into us.

I appreciate Iongi is young and developing so I am not calling for us to look elsewhere or anything silly, but he has been underwhelming and frustrating to watch at times. Pitfalls of a rookie I get it.

Jonah Pezet the golden boy on Fox League thanks to Braith.

5 missed tackles 11 made yesterday.

This looks like this will be one of the biggest waste of time signings we have ever made. And we have had a few

I have seen nothing in 4 games to suggest we will get any benefit from this 12 month layover.

If he was the succession plan to replace Moses down the track i would be prepared to be more patient.

But atm this looks like a massive bust and just benefit the Broncos in future years.

Pezet creates an issue in that he doesn’t run , so all the Riff did was stand up on Moses and limit his attacking runs, worked perfectly. Talataina is a running 5/8 , which would suit Moses and look at last nights game where he scored, took on the line and was a threat, completely opposite to what we have in NRL.

With 2 limited props we get run over in the first 25 minutes in all games so far, Williams is a very good back rower, not a dominant front rower, leg speed has caught up with Junior.

Until we have the ability to sign a couple of elite players on overs to strengthen the roster , it will remain as is. Just pay what they want and get more average players in the 25-30 area, we seem to not understand how to work the cap, not TPAs just sensible allocation, You don’t win without 4 or so elite players, we have 1. Pay up, and put the up and comers who get a bit less in the back end.

2nd year syndrome.

I think Joash will try his damn best and try and overthrow Ionghi. He wont go missing as he has to make his case now.

If he is sound in positioning and high ball and is able to make a break or two when returning the ball (ala Hayne, Barba, Semi) and less focus on ball playing and focus on supporting breaks like the Russell bust where he got run down.

He might overthrow Iongi.

HIS TIME IS NOW !!!

If he can't show anything in the 8-10 weeks, let him go as he's no use to us.

He should go talk to Jarryd Hayne

Yup, just pay what is necessary. Like Avvy said - raid the panfers. But raid the younger ones

Yeah, I agree.

Hopefully after 10 rounds, we dump him.

Glad we dont have him long term and Braith did one of those Influencer sell jobs

Never saw the so called Pezet talent at Melbourne. Overrated
