Their last two semi finals have been disgraceful , lapped 48-18 by Saints and then 58-0 v Eels

WHU win tomorrow morning they go to equal 2nd

@TigerSJ said in NRL Finals Week 1 *live Discussion*:

That had to be one of the worst Broncos performances i have ever seen. There must be something going on at that club for players to look so disinterested.
Boyd was walking around - dont think he even broke a sweat! Their halves were rubbish and Milford was playing in slow motion. They didnt even try and make tackles in their own 20 and almost every kick led to a try. The Eels racked up 58 points in a semi final against what looked like the local pub team after a big day on the drink!!
Interesting contrasts - yesterday we had Ricky Stuart saying “at last he has some talent in his squad and you cant win without quality players and talent”, and yet with the Broncos we have a team full of talent but they have often played so poorly.

2018 performance v Dragons was similar

@Sabre thanks. Hopefully having these new facilities will also improve our recruitment/ retention

They will go some way towards it, having first class facilities will only benefit the club in the long run.

They are planning to change the name to the Centre of Above Averageness

This is what happens when you continually remove or lose coaches …happy footballers become unhappy footballers when the style of coaching and training changes

I can understand Matterson’s view totally , he needs to be able to show off his ball skills and running game to make the next step …because of our deficiencies he needs to play a total power game …which isn’t going to benefit his career long term

It this really a fair comment and do you (or we) have any idea what it is that Matterson supposedly wants. Do we have any idea if the club has discussed this with him ? What should we do about this ? Are all the players unhappy ? If not why not ? Is Matterson just another spoiled brat ?

I don’t know but I think we maybe need to stop looking at all the players that leave and blaming them and maybe look at the club and its situation

@happy_tiger maybe he should sign up for touch footy

Maybe Madge needs to get some people skills

It’s got nothing at all to do with cash and that a handful of major clubs have gaps in the lock and second row rosters due to retirements or wanting to return to the UK.

Maybe it to a degree , but lots of players look to upgrades mid contract when form warrants it

Madge has history of this …look at the players who have left even a short time after winning premierships

He said he had changed , yet when you listen to Marshall on NRL360 they train harder/faster at training than match day

That might be fine for some but others don’t want to train that hard …especially the blokes putting up big numbers in attack and defence

Players like Matterson quite often have shorter careers than other players , mainly because their bodies just can’t sustain that workload over long periods of time

John Quayle would be the main choice for me

The guy is almost 80. Let him relax in god’s waiting room.
