[u/GGorilla67]

Broncos don’t get NRL

[u/Aussie18-1998]

Cam Murray said the hit off the ball looked much worse than it was. He didn't feel it was direct contact, and it was just footy.

Seems everyone claiming Rikki should have been sentenced to death can calm down.

[u/kipperlenko → u/Aussie18-1998]

Right, so it's ok to wack a guy off the ball, so long as it isn't high?

[u/emleigh2277 → u/kipperlenko]

Is it OK to wack a guy off ?

[u/tehLife → u/kipperlenko]

You act like there wasn’t another Souths player close to Murray that ended up receiving the ball, there was a chance Murray was going to get the ball, Riki just misread the play.

It’s why he was sin binned, the contact wasn’t dangerous. Murray said it it wasn’t head contact, the ref and the bunker thought the same thing, whole thing has been way overblown

[u/Aussie18-1998 → u/tehLife]

The contact was dangerous because he was off the ball. But you are right, there's another player with the ball basically next to him. It's a stupid read. It wasn't high, so a sinbin is sufficient.

[u/Aussie18-1998 → u/kipperlenko]

No. The sin bin was more than appropriate, but it wasn't dangerous contact to the head. People claiming if they were serious after origin he should have been sent off.

[u/lovesadonut → u/Aussie18-1998]

Cam can be the nice fella all he wants and play it down... You can’t allow blokes to just steam roll players without the ball like that. Christ, Harry Grant got sent to the judiciary for an accidental love tap a few weeks ago ffs. Whether Rikki made contact with the head or not, that sort of impact is just as bad for the brain as direct contact cause it’s rattling about in there.

[u/Aussie18-1998 → u/lovesadonut]

Any contact will have the brain rattling around. It's rugby league.

The contact is dangerous but not directly at the head. It's a completely stupid misread that leads to a hit off the ball. Sinbin is more than sufficient.

[u/gbren → u/Aussie18-1998]

Fuck off. HANG HIM

[u/briggles23]

We aren't back just yet. Broncos really helped us by not completing any of their sets. If we can pull off another win against Manly next week leading into the bye, then all of a sudden we'll be officially back in the hunt and looking to shake things up in the race to the top 8.

[u/Somethink2000 → u/briggles23]

How many have Manly got out? Cherry Evans, Turbo, Jake.....any other big outs?

No Trello, Cam for us and looks like Jai injured.

[u/first5eight → u/Somethink2000]

Haumole for Manly too

[u/pjc6068]

Please pick Latrell for NSW, signed Queensland

[u/xZany]

Bronx fans are so catastrophic lmao

[u/Samuel_Greenhalgh_29 → u/xZany]

And other Bronx fans are just completely dead inside

[u/boenwip]

With AJ saying he hopes Latrell doesn’t play for the blues - would Latrell commit to the Rabbitohs season by deferring his selection?

[u/Mrsmorale → u/boenwip]

I dunno but it shows how much his teammates value him alongside them… despite what the media says, every player interview or podcast you hear, his teammates are massively on board with Latrell.

[u/THR → u/boenwip]

Unlikely.

[u/Aussie18-1998]

16 errors, 6 penalties, 4 six agains. That's some pretty piss poor discipline.

[u/jse81]

We are flat track bullies. Give us anything other than a nice dry Thursday night game and we are completely fucked.

[u/piraja0]

atleast we managed to fool the nsw camp got em thinking Trell would be good for origin

[u/Accurate-Ad-4905 → u/piraja0]

Honestly, the opening 10 minutes, the Broncos seemed fierce. That try saver from Riki was amazing. I really think Madden kicking on the first after that six again is what fucked you, Souths got a penalty of the next play, and then their first try.

When Mariner is the stand-up from your backline, that still includes Staggs and Cobbo, something is wrong. I feel like a lot of the Broncos young stars got ahead of themselves and I really think Kevy Walters should have reigned in their egos more. They've all regressed this year! What happened to Mam? I rated him above Walsh! But honestly, he's been so disappointing this season.

The Riki hit looked bad, which is a shame because I think Riki is a pretty hard worker and has a lot of talent. Why has Carrigan slowed down so much and lost his intensity?

I know there were logistic issues for the Broncos yesterday, they were over an hour late to the signing they had organised at their hotel. Things like these do take a bit of a toll on your preparation, but they were so flat.

[u/Uncertain_Philosophy]

Honestly, the biggest miracle out of the last few weeks is that broncos only lost both games by 10.

Should have been more. Looked incredibly ordinary.

[u/call_of_the_while]

Getting back on the horse he says. What? It was a great pun from Wighton. Lol. I don’t know if it was intentional though. But still it was good.

[u/Brunch_Hopkins]

I don’t think Cody will get picked for Origin I thought Luai was good enough in game 1 to retain his spot, but fuck meee if I was Madge and I was picking Moses I’d be tempted. That combo was so good last year

[u/Mrsmorale → u/Brunch_Hopkins]

Luai plays his best footy at 7, he’d pair well with burto at 6

Or Moses 7 and Cody 6

Just depends on the type of game plan Madge is going for

[u/rileys_01 → u/Brunch_Hopkins]

I hate to say it but I don't think Luai has played better than he has of late. I been very critical of him in the past but think he'd be hard done by to get dropped.

13 on 13 and I think we would have been in trouble.

[u/bigbadwofl → u/Brunch_Hopkins]

Luai Moses will be good I reckon

[u/THR → u/Brunch_Hopkins]

Cody doesn’t deserve it. One game shouldn’t pick you. He’s been absent for 12 months.

[u/Mrsmorale → u/THR]

Cody was one of our best last season, and the last 3 wins he plays a pivotal role. Yes he had a shocking start to this season but other than that your eyes are painted on.

[u/THR → u/Mrsmorale]

He was decent at the beginning but not the most significant factor in our being top of the ladder. I don’t think he played well for significant parts of the remainder of the season and certainly not the start of this.

I want him to perform well and would love to see him back in origin but just have to be honest that a few games doesn’t justify that decision.

[u/PLEASE_DONT_PM]

Real shame in the draw is that Broncos don't play the Tigers again to have a real spoon bowl

[u/InflatableRaft → u/PLEASE_DONT_PM]

Oh please. You just want to play us again to get another free 2 points

[u/Pristine_Ad4806]

GG, Trell Mit for Blues

[u/SpamUserAccount]

How does it affect us next week if kevvie drops the whole team?

[u/CoryInDaHouz → u/SpamUserAccount]

Probably conceded less against the bye

[u/512fm]

Just realised the doggies are currently in 5th, how good

[u/__dontpanic__ → u/512fm]

If Sharks had won, we'd be 4th still...

[u/ClydeFrog76]

That’s my rabbits. What a game.

[u/THR]

Thought that last try needed further inspection. Seemed like separation when he actually put the ball down.

[u/ReasonableStable9421 → u/THR]

I'd rather look at Riki on Arrow in the background

[u/thicky_bobby]

Ezra Mam just quickly reminding everyone how they lost the grand final, complete lack of composure and game management lol

[u/TrueDeadBling → u/thicky_bobby]

They really dared me to dream

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/thicky_bobby]

I knew it would come back to haunt us. I never really believed all the hype.

[u/_Sullyy_ → u/thicky_bobby]

Mam the only reason we were in the GF definitely not him that night. But yeah awful tonight for sure

[u/thicky_bobby → u/_Sullyy_]

I was more speaking as him being an example of the team in general, not specifically him in the grand final

[u/paradoxer99 → u/thicky_bobby]

How dare a 21 year old not be the complete package

[u/thicky_bobby → u/paradoxer99]

It's his 3rd season though is it not? It's a game where 30 is considered ancient

[u/Mrsmorale → u/thicky_bobby]

*DCE entered the chat

[u/paradoxer99 → u/thicky_bobby]

Every single person in the game says the best halves don't really hit their straps in proper until 27/28

Mam only became a regular last year, he was fighting with Gamble for the 6 the year before.

[u/thicky_bobby → u/paradoxer99]

I'm not saying he's peaked or he should be error free but it's not unreasonable to expect him to have a little more composure this year after what went wrong last year. His age shouldn't be a factor in that regard

[u/CoryInDaHouz]

Genuinely the most upset I've been since we won the spoon, fucking embarrassment to the city. Dolphins own Brisbane until we prove otherwise.

[u/Ok_Strength_2534 → u/CoryInDaHouz]

Also boys stop the short line kicks they're killing us in out present form

[u/paradoxer99 → u/CoryInDaHouz]

I love seeing the Phins do well but they've had a soft draw so far, and only beaten one top 8 team. Still a quality side but do not own the city yet

[u/CoryInDaHouz → u/paradoxer99]

They don't control the draw they're given, they've shown much better mentality and guts than we have.

[u/Minafatdog12]

I fucking hate this. Now Kevvie will be like well boys we just lost. Get them next time. Fuck sake I’m done with this useless as shit team. Id rather get smashed so we can maybe have a good hard look at ourselves and drop the dead weight rather than suck off each player for “trying”. Jock I hate you. JetSki you too. Riki I’m starting to also hate you. Walters you’re on that list. Staggs is starting to be useless too

[u/Realistic_Chest_3934 → u/Minafatdog12]

Staggs was one of your best though?

[u/Minafatdog12 → u/Realistic_Chest_3934]

Laughable. They all sucked besides big Willy and carrigan which happens every week. Haas has been mediocre a lot this year too

[u/piraja0 → u/Realistic_Chest_3934]

That speaks volumes.

[u/boenwip]

Play the song!

[u/MartinPenwald101]

Brisbane can't win without the coach on the field playing 7.

[u/Zero-Esc]

Was that 15 needless grubbers tonight? I lost count

[u/CoryInDaHouz → u/Zero-Esc]

We had 17 needless grubbers play tonight mate

[u/ReasonableStable9421]

I guess 3 in a row means it's not a fluke

[u/bigfatanimetidds → u/ReasonableStable9421]

4 in a row. gotta count the bye brah. Stay positive

[u/CyanideSun]

Our lowlights reel should just be us kicking early as fuck into every other fucking set

[u/Disastrous_Salad6302]

Rabbits - 4 tries Mariner - 2 tries Rest of broncos - 0 tries

[u/-Bloodnut-]

I picked south's to win AMA

[u/Disastrous_Salad6302 → u/-Bloodnut-]

Why did you do this to us?

[u/-Bloodnut- → u/Disastrous_Salad6302]

Karma for being manlys bogey team

[u/JuliusS__]

I have eye AIDS from watching that Broncos performance

[u/x_810]

Just fell to my knees at the XXXX factory

[u/BigPoki69]

GG

[u/Aussie18-1998]

That was definitely the play Mann.

[u/Robo_face]

I dunno where kevvie even starts with this lot, fucking hopeless performance

[u/Caseyjb29]

Mam is dogshit

[u/Jenkinsons → u/Caseyjb29]

Not how they lost tonight

[u/TurboooTurtle]

Kick the Broncos out of the comp

[u/joshewok → u/TurboooTurtle]

Flair up, you coward

[u/TurboooTurtle → u/joshewok]

Work on getting your boys to play better first

[u/CoryInDaHouz → u/TurboooTurtle]

joshewok signed to Broncos coaching team after recommendation from TurboooTurtle

[u/joshewok → u/CoryInDaHouz]

Hello reddit, Joshewok here. Junior coaching assistant for the the Brisbane Broncos. AMA.

[u/boenwip]

GG

[u/DCsuperhero]

Walker off side

[u/TheCommander91]

If south's were as good as everyone is making them out to be it would be 20 point win minimum

[u/ReasonableStable9421]

Hope Riki gets a few weeks for shots in Murray and Arrow

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/ReasonableStable9421]

Pretty grubby from Riki.

[u/No_Reward_3486 → u/ReasonableStable9421]

He'll be told he's been a bad boy and needs to apologise, He'll give a half assed apology, and will get to play next week.

Latrell on the other hand will be punished severely for the crime of protecting his team mate

[u/One_Advertising2539 → u/No_Reward_3486]

How is running in after the fact protecting his team mate?

[u/Mrsmorale → u/No_Reward_3486]

6 weeks for Latrell

[u/MartinPenwald101 → u/ReasonableStable9421]

He does love a cheap shot.

[u/myboytys → u/ReasonableStable9421]

Agree !

[u/Codestarrrr]

Game

[u/JCGremlo]

Sack Kevvie

[u/InflatableRaft]

Why did the Bronx wait until the last 10 minutes to bother playing?

[u/corupio]

Ahhhh The old six again in the last minute when you're more than six down. We know it well.

[u/Electrical-Laugh8858]

Kicking to no one again taking a tackle is illegal it seems

[u/nick170100]

Ezra has been pure dog shit

[u/TrueDeadBling]

Ah, the good old kick with no chase or pressure. Nothing beats that.

[u/-Bloodnut-]

Kicking it on 6 again is just stupid wtf

[u/ziggzandzags → u/-Bloodnut-]

There was like 20 seconds left and they were 10 down lol

[u/-Bloodnut- → u/ziggzandzags]

I was hoping for an extra time showdown

[u/_Sullyy_ → u/-Bloodnut-]

There was like 20 seconds left hahaha

[u/globe187]

We literally look like that 2019 team with a cooked Darius Boyd and Jake Turpin the halves

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/globe187]

Turpin is killing it at the doggies now.

[u/Kof_Mor → u/globe187]

Yeah I think you are forgetting just how bad that was.

[u/woodpecker91]

Ummm, that was played at, accidental offside?

[u/Batmanforawhile]

South’s: Riki is a grub😭😭😭 also South: literally has Latrell Mitchell in the team.

[u/FalconPunch84 → u/Batmanforawhile]

Dude, Taane Milne is standing right there.

[u/ImpressionFeisty8359 → u/FalconPunch84]

I will give him credit for not cannonballing anyone.

[u/Mrsmorale → u/FalconPunch84]

No send offs tonight, we’ll take the Milne win

[u/No_Reward_3486]

Imagine the fuckkng headlines if it was Mitchell who had hit someone. There's a massive double standard in the NRL

[u/No-Albatross5152]

Broncos rudderless without Reynolds 

[u/TrueDeadBling]

Is it fair to say the South Queensland Crushers would've performed better than the Broncos tonight?

[u/Particular_Honey7385]

Y’all going @ Riki for that incidental contact on Arrow is funny as hell. Two dudes running side by side for the ball on the try line, if you get rekt you get rekt

[u/Mrsmorale → u/Particular_Honey7385]

Or you could have better discipline and not cause a dudes shoulder to come out of it’s socket

[u/FalconPunch84]

I demand compensation for Broncos wasting my time tonight.

[u/kranools]

Hilarious if they score here and only lose by 4

[u/SpamUserAccount]

Mariner will do anything but take a tackle after a break

[u/DX6734D → u/SpamUserAccount]

Walsh would be proud

[u/the_mooseman]

Where did Mariner come from anyway, dude is awesome and he just popped up out of nowhere.

[u/_Sullyy_ → u/the_mooseman]

He’s been hyped up in the Broncos circles for years

[u/the_mooseman → u/_Sullyy_]

Can see why, he fucking good.

[u/swell-shindig → u/the_mooseman]

He's one of the lost generations. His big year where he got the wraps should have been 2020

[u/WhirlingClouds → u/swell-shindig]

His big year should have been 2020. When he was 17?

[u/swell-shindig → u/WhirlingClouds]

Yes. That would have been the year people started saying "have you heard of this Deine Mariner kid. He's got something." Which is exactly what people are referring to when they say Mariner "popped up out of nowhere"

[u/WhirlingClouds → u/swell-shindig]

He debuted 2 years ago at 19 - he didn't pop out of nowhere

[u/fflexx_ → u/swell-shindig]

Most Bronco’s fans knew of him and he couldn’t debut till he turned 18. He was also not big enough till he had a few pre-seasons, fucking lost generation my ass.

[u/TheCommander91 → u/swell-shindig]

When he was 17?

[u/the_mooseman → u/swell-shindig]

Right.

[u/WJack37]

Good finish tonight lads

Now, DO YOU MIND TELLING ME WHERE IN TF THIS WAS ALL NIGHT?

[u/Rush_nj]

Staggs has such an odd kicking style but its bloody effective

[u/Peaky001]

Rikki gonna get jumped in the car park

[u/Realistic_Chest_3934 → u/Peaky001]

And frankly he’ll deserve it

[u/thisisntmyrealname97 → u/Realistic_Chest_3934]

Bro, calm down.

[u/mwilkins1644]

I really feel the better team is behind on the scoreboard

Edit: Looks like some of youse don't know your Gus Gould 2020 grand final memes

[u/ClydeFrog76 → u/mwilkins1644]

Good one.

[u/aligantz → u/mwilkins1644]

They don’t display the error count on the scoreboard

[u/Rush_nj → u/mwilkins1644]

Lmao, its a miracle the Broncos are within 30

[u/SpamUserAccount → u/mwilkins1644]

We played like shit for 95٪ of the game no chance

[u/DoubleBrokenJaw → u/mwilkins1644]

Bahahahahaahahha.

The team who has made 16 errors, had a 1 man advantage for 10 minutes and didn’t score, what else?

[u/No_Reward_3486 → u/mwilkins1644]

Better teams don't resort to taking out opposing players

[u/Batmanforawhile → u/No_Reward_3486]

Yeah it was pretty shitty of Trell to run in and try to start a fight. I agree with you.

[u/No_Reward_3486 → u/Batmanforawhile]

Ha ha ha. Such an original joke that's never been made before, such creativity /s

All you broncos flairs would be furious if it had been a Rabbitohs player hitting someone in the head.

[u/samwisetg → u/mwilkins1644]

Incredible bait

[u/Disastrous_Salad6302 → u/mwilkins1644]

Broncos have sucked tonight. They’re too all over the place

[u/MulkingMang → u/mwilkins1644]

Me when I'm hilariously incorrect

[u/Peaky001 → u/mwilkins1644]

Are you high

[u/ReasonableStable9421 → u/mwilkins1644]

Fuck off

[u/mwilkins1644 → u/ReasonableStable9421]

I thought the /s was implied by the Gus Gould 2020 gf reference lol

[u/MulkingMang → u/mwilkins1644]

Sick Schrodinger's Douchebag move there

[u/ReasonableStable9421 → u/mwilkins1644]

Oh lmao sorry mate thought you were serious, you're all good

[u/mwilkins1644 → u/ReasonableStable9421]

Lol all good bro 😂 gg on the win tonight. Latrell deserves a nsw recall for sure

[u/goodfortheeconomy]

Vossy is the biggest headdoer acting as if there’s any chance of a comeback with 10 mins to go down 4 tries

[u/TheCommander91]

Broncos played absolutely terrible. South's played the best game they have in 2 years. Yet only 10?

[u/ExperimentalFruit → u/TheCommander91]

Two years is crazy. Souths were top of the table this time last year

[u/TheCommander91 → u/ExperimentalFruit]

Slight exaggeration. Only meant to say that the gap between south's best and broncs absolute worst isn't that far

[u/2cpee]

Riki has been a massive grub tonight

[u/speshando]

Riki should’ve given Arrow a head rub as he went off…

[u/jhick107]

Fuck me this score line flatters us.

[u/ReasonableStable9421]

Where's the report sir?

[u/samwisetg]

Staggs is the most awkward looking good goal kicker.

[u/squat_bench_press]

Stadium DJ killing it tonight

[u/DrillholeAndWing]

Always have said Riki is a cat

[u/Jenkinsons → u/DrillholeAndWing]

Bullies guys on the ground, hides when there’s any real contact

[u/getHi9h]

Did he get that down?

[u/THR → u/getHi9h]

I thought he bounced it.

[u/Miserable-Caramel316]

Too late but if I'm a souths fan I'd be a tad nervous

[u/Codestarrrr]

Easy 2 tries in 2 minutes coming right up

[u/Lukie1401]

lol broncos suck

[u/Friction74 → u/Lukie1401]

I love how all the Broncos fans are saying that, but as soon as a Souths fan says it they get downvoted 😂

[u/proofkiidd → u/Friction74]

Because it's fucking hilarious to have one of our worst performances of the past 2 years and only lose by 10 to a team that has been hailed as having a great performance

[u/Friction74 → u/proofkiidd]

You know what, fair point there. Rabbitohs are trash this year

[u/A1ianT0rtur3]

Can't believe I'm not getting the Rabbits 13+ here

[u/PLEASE_DONT_PM]

Deadset donno how the Broncos have been within 10 the last 2 weeks.

The run of play has been closer to a 40 point loss. Eg we played better when the Roosters did score 40.

[u/Repulsive_Two8451]

Watch this, Lise. You can actually pinpoint the exact moment when the Broncos stopped being contenders.

[u/AmazingChicken99]

"Brb gotta abuse Souths players for ruining my 13+ bet"

Scott on Facebook, probably

[u/boenwip]

Shouldn’t have let that idiot back on the field.
