Are the Broncos gooooonnnneee?

Published by SJ at 5:06 am under General

As a supporter since their first game (at a young age) I am very concerned about the current prospects of the Brisbane Broncos! Maybe I have had it to good for to long? I have had years of strong Australian cricket teams, competitive Australian Rugby teams, a fair share of Qld origin winning teams and like clockwork I could rely on the Broncos to make the Rugby League Finals.

Now, all this appears to be falling apart at the seams and my once mighty Broncos are about miss the finals for the first time in a long time. As it stands near the end of Round 20 we are just out of the top eight with 22 points.

1 Dragons 32
2 Bulldogs 28
3 Titans 28
4 Storm 27
5 Sea Eagles 24
6 Panthers 24
7 Knights 24
8 Cowboys 22
9 Broncos 22
10 Wests Tigers 20
11 Rabbitohs 19
12 Eels 19
13 Warriors 17
14 Raiders 16
15 Sharks 14
16 Roosters 12

The Broncos run through to the finals is not without its problems but there is room to get some good performances on the board a score some points for the dreaded for and against statistic. Its not all doom and gloom.

Canberra = should get the two points here
Cronulla = would hope we can beat them
Penrith = they will be fighting for a finals birth too. Is a must win!
St George = A possible game we could drop but ideally we need to beat them
North Queensland = Another team fighting for survival and a dangerous challenge
Canberra = For some reason we play the raiders again. Must win and win well.

It is actually not the worst run home they have ever had so I am hopeful they can find some form for next Saturday nights game in our nations capital. We are also going to have to rely on teams like the Knights and Panthers to crumble out of contention. If Lockyer can start to tackle and put a few games together we are a chance.

But I am not sure, do you have any thoughts on the final prospects of the Broncos?

    I believe the Broncos can make the finals. They have about 6 top-line players due to come back into the side over the next couple of weeks.
    You are large!

    I think they are in massive trouble. They look like they difficulties in defence and their attack seems to be not effective.

    My oath they are gone mate. I don’t know what you have been watching but I see a team out of ideas and running out of players. Wayne Bennett’s polish is starting to rub off clearly. The Dragons aren’t facing these problems

    Broncs are gone. They need more upfront, and a better group of young players coming through. Get ready for some lean years I think.

    I have changed teams now….Titans all the way!

    You spelt it wrong Tiger it is Broncos.

    I agree thought they are no chance of wining this year. Go the mighty Eagles for a huge coem from behind win

    GOLD…. Spelling tips from Jethro! Ha ha…. still laughing!

    I guess it doesn’t matter if the Broncos make the finals or not…. they’re no chance of getting any further. Far too many better teams this year

    Thanks Jeffro…(adjusted the spelling so it sounds how I’m sure you say it!).

    I fink if youse new the way we speak about the broncs in Brissy & that you would get that broncs is the shortened affectionate way we may refer the the Broncos…..(sorry mate couldn’t stay in character long enough and added a few big words…)

    Hope you get that translation……

    And a huge coem back from behind for the eagles is out of the question too I think.

    What ever you reckon tiger you moron.

    The Eagles will smash you broncs if you even make the final

    Now IASM has left I guess you are the new intellectual heavy weight!!!!!

    Ding Ding!!! Round 2……

    It has been a little while, but some immense pleasure had in reading the Tiger v Jethro battle (If you could call it that).
    My 2 cents worth. You all know I am a Roosters supporter. I would love to see a match vs the Broncos at the moment. I think the score would be in the vicinity of 90 points to 80. The Broncos might just have the wood on us. This just goes to show you how well the Broncos are going.
    To ensure that you understand Jethro, their defence is pathetic, they will struggle to make the 8 (They do have an eay run in Raiders twice, sharks etc). If they do make the 8 it will be to make the numbers up!

    To the fat fuckin idiot who clearly can’t open his closed eye-lids to see the Chicken-rooters for what they are… Tunksey you call ourself hey? So you admit you’re a fat slow bastard?

    Honestly, the Rooster are lamentable. You should be ashamed. I get the opinion you’re a really annoying fat bastard who sledges at golf? Ashamed!!

    Mitchell Pearce is a pubically-challenged numpty. Have you shat in a corridor lately?
