Hey by the way can I revisit the "penalty Broncos" tilt that some folks were promoting last week? This whole idea that the NRL is hell-bent on seeing the Broncos deep into the finals.
Oddly enough, this pro-Broncos-bias from upper-management, enabled by corrupt officials, has seen the Broncos sneak into the finals and be destroyed in two consecutive campaigns.
So for all that effort, they get 1 extra match with Brisbane; in 2019 they weren't even the home side.
What an amazing conspiracy they are wielding. Or, is the NRL so incapable and incompetent that they can't even do corruption properly?
You can lead a horse to water but you you can't make it drink.:laughing:
Hahaha, he was late to the party and didn’t post anything like that at the time it was relevant... the last two seasons Brisbane took our place against whoever we would’ve been VSing had they not been awarded a fair dinkum ‘majority’ of contentious calls - literally 50/50’s and small calls cannot save you from a 58 point drubbing.
I don’t see anybody say NRL needs Brisbane to actually win finals series??? It is definitely a marketing ploy and effective revenue. Did not see anybody say otherwise. Getting them in YES, most definitely and you’re a Neolithic numbskull if you think otherwise. HOW would they have made it to 8th position last year without *direct* interference on that result... I.e, we should’ve been there. The head of operations came out and actually apologised to us for one of the worst decisions of all time and relegated Klein to the Bunker for the next Rd at least. When has that ever happened in a situation where the Broncos were on the wrong end of such a call, and actually MISSED the finals?
Again, the burden of proof would be on Jirskyr here not to rattle off suggestions that he thinks disproves what we all believe; rather he must clearly provide examples that prove any kind of factual evidence to the contrary of Donkey Stuff-ups we have literally described and posted documents, photos, articles about... there’s only so many times he can throw the bait out there.
Obviously if I was wearing a tin-foil hat and believed it was a fully concerted effort, every game, for 80 minutes to get them into the eight then I’d have major onus to prove that.
I’m simply saying that whistleblowers and the people who control the media releases (and apparently those in charge of handing out punishments) on mass within the game are conditioned not to be surprised by their seemingly genuine ability to always sneak into the 8 even though they’ve not been a truly great team since 2008. It always seems like bias to you except for a wide majority of us it just feels like Todd covering his arse to stay in a job, wouldn’t you regularly turn a blind eye whenever your hands were tied. Especially if the game/job is trending toward redundancy.
I’ve never said it was a specific person or part of the NRL CULTURE itself to bless the Brisbane Broncos, yet look at the differences in recent handling of both clubs’ respectively well documented financial stuff-ups where apparently they could only prove poor old Pascoe was a cheat. It runs very deep, and whether it’s deliberate or innocuous bias- it exists.
Talk about a fall guy lmao (even though he did the wrong thing technically) but that right there is a case of chalk and cheese.
So Jirskyr, directly speaking to you now - how about *you* please show us where there is statistical proof that the problems in Rugby League currently **don’t** stem from a few ‘favoured’ teams...?
Funny thing is I think we would’ve had a real chance against Parra, so am just disappointed that our boys didn’t turn up again when they needed to.
Understand that your post and excessive attempts to prove your point of view (which usually go unnoticed, no clue why?) is probably reflective of the disappointment and frustration that all lifetime Tigers supporters face around this time of year!
Don’t cut sick though, we will be even closer next year...
Also, it’s not to say we’re so bad as a club we couldn’t compete rather that it comes to a point where u just can’t beat the referee, his shadow and the conveniently under-utilised ‘bunker’ we keep hearing is bloody state of the art !
Parra thankfully didn’t need to do all of the above due to the Broncos being so crap - so it totally makes your point a fruitless one. Anyway, I really couldn’t give a toss because I love conversing and aggressively debating things
🙂, hope that you can accept this post with the sincerity that I treat others, and your opinions; no matter how strongly I disagree
