HISTORY LESSON

The highest score the Broncos have put on against the Bulldogs is 48 points.

 

[Boxer]

We have 3 rookies in the team how are we going to go

 

[ILiveForDib]

Title fixed lol

 

[Spoonman84]

No consequences for one of the most embarrassing losses in club history. This is half the problem we have no one deserving to be promoted but we have plenty that are deserving to be dropped.

 

[Wyzguy]

Can't believe it same team minus mbye...if this happen during the warren Ryan era , half that team would be playing Nsw cup

 

[Wyzguy]

Same team probably will lead to same result

LOL i can see the Dogs coming out and having a blinder. Not necessarily winning but having a crack and pushing the Bronco's. It's a game everyone is expecting us to be thrashed in and so with no real expectations they might just perform. #WishingAndHopeful

tolman quoted today “I don’t think Des needs to change. Obviously we need to improve a few things from last week. I suppose that’s where you’ll see the change,
But in terms of our footy structures, I don’t think that really needs to change too much.”

MK ultra mind control victims. Poor things!

Ffs just shut the fuck up Tolman

Ouch. "I don't think..."

That sounds like code to me. They're not allowed to talk down the coach so "I don't think" sounds like code for "I definitely think"

So basically...

“I definitely think Des needs to change. Obviously we need to improve a few things from last week. I suppose that’s where you’ll see the change,
But in terms of our footy structures, I definitely think that really needs to change too much.”

Just hope mr passion doesn't tell Frawley " just follow my lead" then that both will be running sideways. I'm not expecting miracles from Frawley especially seeing abbey but it's interesting to see how he plays since he's a natural half

Fuck me, have formed a cult or something.

FFS Plodman, lots needs to change. Here's one: FUCKING RUN!!!

 

[The Innovator]

Get beaten 36-0 and make zero changes ???
The only saving grace for the Dogs is the forecast. Heavy rain is tipped all day.
This will slow the Broncos down to the Dogs level of slowness. On a dry track, I'd be tipping Brisbane by 40. On a heavy track where the overweight and sluggish Bulldogs forwards will almost hold their own, it won't be a blowout .
My concern is points. Canterbury have the weakest and most predictable backline in the NRL.
Brisbane will only need to score 10 points to win. Despite the conditions suiting the plodding Dogs, its Brisbane by 18

 

[Cook]

Hope we get flogged. Can't believe I'm saying it, but if we win we just go back to the same shit. We can't win a comp playing like this. I honestly hope Brisbane run up a score, play fast uptempo footy and embarrass our boys.

Your not alone mate.

 

[Interestingg]

I'd be shocked if we can get within 18 points of them.

26-4

 

[Wolfmother]

We've set such a low standard that even scoring one try will look like we're improving

 

[Mr Invisible]

To those complaining about a mass lack of changes.. WE CAN'T!!!

Half our NSW Cup side are NYC players at the moment, due to backline injuries in NSW Cup (Stanley, Kennar, Phillips).


Edited OP and added history lesson.

I expect history to be broken this weekend, as I reckon we'll have 50+ put on us unless there's been a drastic change in the past few days (unlikely).

 

[Dognacious]

Problem with that is it means half the nsw cup side would be in fg.

The whole team was poor anyway, cant drop them all
