    The 'Attn Superthread"

    Happy with that team, Clinton will have to come in for Setu though, will need another front rower. Glad to see Izzy in the centres, he needs to be developed there.

    Denan Kemp leaves the Warriors to pursue his NRL career in Australia

    Would love to see him back, Kemp and Lockyer had an awesome combo going last year. Would be another option for the fullback spot, if not put him on the wing.

    Israel Folau to return for Broncos against Cowboys

    His still only young, give him time. Should be developed as a centre over the off-season. Will be great to see him back

    Are most of you wanting the Broncos to win tonight.

    Lets Go Broncos! Crowd had no idea what just happened haha!

    Broncos V Panthers RD23 ***SPOILERS***

    Broncos V Panthers RD23 ***SPOILERS***

    Great showing by the broncos, especially the 2nd half. We arnt expected to beat the Dragons so who knows what could happen? If we keep up that form and attitude we are a shot I cant believe we are 7th after getting flogged for the last 2 and a half months..
  9. matt

    who should be the 17th team?

    West Brisbane (Toowoomba, Ipswich, Springfield). Growing population, high participation and love for rugby league, already has the transport infrastructure.. etc

    Brisbane Broncos plan to shed under-achievers in the coming months

    Clinton has been going alright this year. While yeah his not the best going around, we need as many props as we can get, and theres noone really who can replace him for next year. Take out Clinton and all we have is Kenny, Mcguire for next year..lol Id like to see us sign Matt Scott, have him...

    Brisbane Broncos plan to shed under-achievers in the coming months

    I would get rid of Sims, Teo, Marsh. Michaels needs to go or be moved to the wing. Gorrell is already going. Hunt is also going. Clinton I would keep. His done well this year considering and we need all the props we can get. Setu has potiental, keep him on a cheap contract. Should be...

    Brisbane Broncos

    If we can get Hunt/Folau/Hodges/Lockyer on the the park at the same time, we will be alot more dangerous. Last time they played together we were leading the comp and competition favourates. We are a long way from that atm, but we are getting everyone back this week except Izzy, so will see how...

    Brisbane's Darren Lockyer and Sam Thaiday to miss Gold Coast Titans clash

    Maybe we need to miss the 8 until they finally pull their finger out. This has been coming for years, looking at the players we have lost/gained..we have easily come out 2nd best. While the last few years under Bennett have had its downs, least the team played with abit of spirt and pride..

    Game 3 (If Necessary)

    Yeah thats true, however at the end of the day, without sponorship and money, the game doesnt survive. Not many other NRL games attract the amount of sponsorship, television exposure and crowd numbers that the 3rd origin will attract. Its a much needed financial boost. Its a shame that NRL...
  16. matt

    Game 3 (If Necessary)

    Yeah I have no argument with what your saying, Broncos have suffered just as heavily from origin as any other team. However, I think thats more of an issue of the timing of the series. If it is held post sept, then the series is more of a stand alone event, and players can play without worrying...

    Game 3 (If Necessary)

    The revenue generated from state of origin games is massive, -52,000 people packed into suncorp (paying decent coin to be there too) -All the food, drinks, merchandise sold at the game -Injection of money into the local economy (hotels, resturants etc) -Employment.. security, ticketing...

    Tonie Carroll to make return to NRL

    Great to see Carroll coming back. He wont be costing much and lets face it, we need all the help we can get atm, especially in defence. If he comes back and he doesnt go well, we dont need to pick him.

    NRL Crowds, Ratings up for 2009

    The problem is that rugby league is such a great game to watch on tv. All the action is pretty much happening around the ball. Whereas with AFL, if your actually at the game, you get to see so much more of the strategy/player movement etc. People would rather just sit at home and watch league...

    Bulldogs v Broncos Swine Flu thread

    They were never going to move it..its all a media beat up. Its a massive disturbance to the team with the lack of preparation, but they have to get on with it and play. Hopefully the broncos come out with a better effort then they did last week.

    Dud signings of the year

    Aaron Gorrell has been disappointing. I thought he would be a solid signing but has just been rubbish. Kemp should never of been allowed to go, he was one of the form wingers last year for us.

    Broncos team v Bulldogs

    I flew down for the origin, then went and watched the broncos against the storm.. terrible performance from the boys. If they play like that again we will get 50 put on us. Im expecting the broncos to bounce back strongly tho..whether or not it will be enough is another story. Team is fairly...

    Just seen the game up in Qld. What an absolute joke. I had money on the dragons, and feel as though I dont deserve the winnings. There was no way in hell that wasnt a try. I really feel for you guys, that is the worst decision I have ever seen. In saying that, you guys played great and have...

    Hunt ruled out and Hodges in doubt for Broncos NRL clash with Manly

    Give Hodges a rest, try Folau in the centres.
  26. matt

    Israel Folau - Is he all he seems to be?

    I tend to agree, would much rather see him at centre, especially with the way Michaels is playing atm. We need to remember that he is only a young kid, once he gets more experience under his belt, he will get better. Funny how people say our pack is crap, yet we were equal first before this...

    Ennis and Farah to BOTH make Origin

    lol cant deceide which hooker to pick? just pick them both.. total waste of a bench spot, both are able to play 80min as already said. Having an extra forward would be much more valueable

    broncos QLD GOV SPONSORSHIP

    Your right that the broncos have alot of potential sponsors. The broncos are one of the most successful clubs, both on and off the field. However, its poor to have a 'i dont care attitude', as potential sponsors will soon look to other investments. Sponsors come and go, its all part of the...

    Taylor struggling to get minutes into his legs

    Taylor is a great talent no doubt, but dropping him back to qld cup wont do him harm. He tends to get abit 'cocky'. If he wants a position in the team, he has to work for it. Looking forward to seeing Wapau play. Gorrell has been ok, but you really notice the difference when McCollough...

    Broncos vs Dogs in bris

    Ill probably be there :P Always great games between the two teams, even more so atm with both team playing well. A while away yet though..

    Are Manly "Under the Radar"?

    Love it how they try to justify their horrible form by using the "under the radar" excuse! With the players they have, they have been terrible, especially against penrith without a decent set of halves!

    haha mate ive been here for years but tend to read more than anything. You only really get one perspective on things up in qld so its good to get other opinions.

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Yeah well like i said, i just wanted to have a discussion about a topic. I dont expect everyone to agree with me, but theres no real need for insults. Difference of opinion is what makes things interesting and generates discussion.

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Im not being critical of a team buying players, thats all part of the game. Those players in my sig are from various different clubs anyway. Im just trying to see the difference between the bulldogs buying broncos players, and the roosters buying bulldogs players. Sure, the dogs are re-building...
  37. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Thats not my point. The reason you lost players is because you won the 2004 title, ie salary cap pressure. The reason we lost a few players is because of the salary cap. Its all part of the game. However, when the roosters buy ur players because you cant afford them its suddenly wrong and bad.

    Kenny should be right for this week. Our forward stocks are thin but we have some good young players coming through. Kenny is a good player, clinton played well last week, hopefully he can keep it going. Also if taylor can show some consistant form, we will be ok. To early in the season to tell...

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Shame some people cant have a discussion and just throw up personal insults. And yeah i understand about mason, however myles, anasta and that were off contract and signed with the roosters. Very hypocritical. Its ok for the bulldogs but not the roosters.
  41. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    You won a premiership in 2004 and couldnt keep Anasta, Myles, Shrek, etc etc. Same same. Is it the roosters fault you won the comp? (well it is cuz they were playing you but u get what i mean)
  42. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    I remember even before mason left, dogs supporters were upset when anasta, myles, shrek etc all left to the roosters. People were saying they are trying to buy a premiership, they dont have juniors, etc etc. Now to me thats exactly the same as what the bulldogs have done to the broncos...
  43. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Isnt that what the roosters did? bulldogs were under salary cap presure so had to let players go, roosters bought them, but for some reason thats not ok??
  44. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Im just raising the point that bulldogs supporters in general have been so upset about the Roosters buying all their players, yet the Bulldogs turn around and do the same thing. I understand that buying players is part of the game, but 4 players in a single season from one club? The reason...
  45. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Folau is one of the best players in the game, and will only get better. Whether he is worth the price we paid for him is up for debate, thats not really the issue here. At the end of the day, you have bought 4 broncos in a single season. There are 15 other clubs you can get players from. Why...
  46. matt

    Canterbury Bronco$

    Could also say because the ex-bronco players played well..

    Skipper Smith commits to Storm

    "Smith joins coach Craig Bellamy, full-back Billy Slater and halves Cooper Cronk and Greg Inglis as key members of the club to sign contract extensions." Those players alone would be worth at least 1.5 mill. And its not like they are still on old, cheap contracts, they have resigned at their...

    Karmichael Hunt, Darius Boyd and Sam Thaiday

    Its to early to say they should be sacked/suspended or whatever. Its best to wait until all the facts are known before any action is taken. Im reserving my comments until then. Hopefully it wont distract the boys to much, its going to be really tough to beat the storm.

    Hey Lockyer

    Youd think after all the alleged bulldogs incidents, you wouldnt be so quick to judge when nothing has been proven. They are also sexual assault charges, not rape.

    Souths end talk of relocation.

    I can appreciate the history and tradition Souths have in the game, but it should be left as just that, history. Every club in the competition has some sort of tradition and could come up with many reasons to justify why they should be in the comp. There are too many teams in Sydney, and for the...

    Souths end talk of relocation.

    Why were Souths brought back in the comp? They werent competitive for decades, did the NRL really think anything would change? And making the 8 one year isnt competitive. As far as Im concerned, Souths are taking up a valuable place in the comp that a new team at the Central Coast, or in...

    Origin pain for players...

    Yeah what a discrace honestly. Its not like the NRL are short of cash, and we are ment to be promoting people to play the game.

    Is State of Origin fixed?

    lol seriously its not fixed.. NSW were the better team in game 1, qld made a few changes and turned it around in game 2. We can see through the history of origin how close it is, its not fixed.
  77. matt

    Anyone got...

    I was at the game last night. Mason had a few good runs, then would drop the ball. I swear he dropped it every 2nd time he got it. There would be a massive boo, then a cheer when he dropped it haha Talk the talk but cant walk the walk

    Eels won't fight for Tony Williams

    Are the Broncos going to drop Hannant and Ennis because they signed with the dogs? No because they are an important part of winning the title this year. Panthers dropped Wallace last season and that didnt help them, and it didnt affect wallace his the nsw half-back now. Eels will keep him in...

    Good decision

    Team is soooo much better than last time. They had to get rid of Webb, Lillyman, PJ. Hunt should be at fullback, Slater to the wing/bench. Boyd is a suprise but I think he will go well. The whole team needs to step up, which I think they will with Lockyer and Price back in the side...

    FFS Broncos, throw some money at Ennis, we have lost a few players surely theres some cash.

    Thats true. Im not a fan of either of them, but Wallace was in reserve grade for the panthers last year. Sure he has been playing well for the Broncos, but I dont think his ready for origin. Carney would of been a better option to. I hope Wallace plays well (but no to well :P) but I would of...
  96. matt
