Finals week 1, 2025 discussion

[Speed2burn]

How Raiders fans feel now is how we felt in 2010 when we lost that Roosters semi we were well on top of.

I think they bounce back next week but the road to a GF just became so much harder

Since the Tigers, Madge has:

Coached NZL to the Pacific Championship trophy, beating Australia in the final.

Coached NSW to a State of Origin series win with a Game 3 win in Brisbane of all places.

Coached the Broncos to the preliminary finals in his first year as their coach after they didn’t even make the finals the previous season.

But…but… Madge can’t coach and wouldn’t coach first grade again according to a handful of morons on here.

Great comparison...the tigers team he had vs nsw, NZ and broncos.. lol

Klien was as always terrible, he rode the Bronks all the way to the finishing line. Ricky could blow up big time but they had enough points in the bank to win in a canter but did a Tigers and snatch a defeat from the jaws of a victory.

Sharks are the only team actually playing good football

this game was up there as <t -> good

That game reminded me of the infamous Tigers loss versus the Roosters in 2010… maybe an even worse loss today …

The Raiders made some terrible errors to always make the Broncos think they were still in it …when up 28-12 and a man advantage should have been curtains …

I wonder if we get those two calls the Broncos got …the penalty for the field goal charge down and the overturn of the final try … I doubt it …

Yeh. Madge can only coach good teams, not Muppets

Golden point they were right in front and didn't go for the field goal? Really poor footy IQ.

How many times have NSW won a Game 3 in Brisbane? How many times has NZL beaten Australia in any kind of tournament in the last 15 years? And isn’t the Broncos squad pretty much the same as the one from last year that came 12?

LOL try harder next time and put some actual thought into it.

I was very young then but was that the game where at the start Gareth Ellis had a disallowed try cus Benji had a go at Mitch Pearce

He can coach, he just didn't have good cattle here with us in WT land.

Yes.

But that wasn't what people were saying. They flat-out said he couldn't coach.

Everyone fell into the crap he gets from the media.

They were both fair and good calls.
Canberra lost this game through their errors 17! and their right edge defence.
Ricky has a lot to work on.

Yes …and even then all they had to do was win a scrum on the bell

 

[Stevec]

I thought Ben Hunt was the worst Bronco but then in the 93 min he wins the game .Go figure ?
Broncos need put Hunt back to 9 as Paix is a weak link and get Reynolds back

Agreed. No salary cap after Ivan, then having to get approval from Pascoe is one hell if an anvil.

Walsh coming back on and making it all up to his teammates in that enormous 15-20 minutes was unreal.

Took the piss and drank it.

Coz u can never write off experience in big games, but while he kicked the goal Walsh won the game, can be erratic but highly skilful. That 15 mi s was amazing !
Really great game.
