And just like the 2020 Broncos, they've been ravaged by injury. In total they have around 15 unavailable players* and that was before the injuries to Jye Gray and Dean Hawkins. Considering Arrow is playing busted and ought to pull the pin this season, you can understand why they've been...

Not a huge team-list Tuesday, we have a few players making their return like Hopoate, Luki and Lemuelu after long lay-offs otherwise it all seems straight forward. I'm going to go back to basics and bold all the changes later tonight. On the whole it seems like a ho-hum week with the exception...

What was that again? It basically boils down to rules are rules vs. the rules are so dumb they're disallowing legitimate tries. If you show the exact same scenario to the lay fan, the majority would call it a try. The only reason why a few of us aren't batting an eyelid is because we watch a...

This isn't a new rule. When the NRL modified the grounding rules, it was for instances where the ball would rotate in a player's hands signalling a loss of control. That doesn't cover clear separation which there was and for whatever reason Annesley kept showing the worse angle which made it...

I'm not overly fussed but I'd go with the specialist, Rogers.

They've supposedly changed the rules around this. Source Which lines up with this: Source It appears the restriction applies to players on training contracts (eg. Josh Patston, Ethan O'Neil) In practice we've seen players like Poasa Faamausilli and Jacob Gagai preferred over players on NRL...

Wish they could have called time after the Haas try. Total anarchy in that last twenty minutes and hopefully it hasn't cost them too dearly. We’re the Broncos The mighty Broncos We keep fighting every second till the end We’re the Broncos The greatest team on earth We’re the heart of all...

It must have been a quality second half address from Seibold to get that response out of Manly. They appeared far more focused coming out of the sheds and while the scoreline blew out at the death, it reflected the run of play for the majority of that half. The key was the width they played...

I presumed they were talking about Max Plath. He's still too raw for that arena, but if he can maintain and improve upon his form he's the type of player you'd love to have around camp. A bonafide QCup product as well. In the same mould as a Munster and a Gillett.

Slow start but the boys held their nerve and had far too much strike. Forwards had to hold their own and with Patty leading the charge they managed that. Nobody seemingly wanted to be out there in the second half, but that defence off the Schiller intercept was my highlight of the game. We’re...
