Well done Broncos, like a famous movie tagline once said "whoever wins we all lose"
Gotta laugh at Reece carrying on in the final seconds as if he wasn't relegated for being unlikely to score the winning conversion
Here you go NRL, no need to spend millions on marketing
A hell of a run from the Panthers.
Lose a GF. Follow that up with 4 premierships.
They have finally been knocked out. But they made the Broncos work for it. They gave the outside of the top 4 a big push, only lost that game late.
Also need to remember they weren't playing out of their proper home ground this year. They will be harder to beat at home next year playing at a redeveloped ground, likely packed out.

Neither Melbourne nor the Broncos have been great this season. For either of them to walk away with the premiership feels hollow ..
I would have loved a Canberra Penrith final. That would have been a great storyline for both clubs and neutral fans to debate

Better outcome, I was cheering on the Panthers but they are stinking up the comp with their peats.
Gets boring.
Gets boring.
I think of that as his Mormon mission, he did his best but you can't save all the heathens.

It does feel a shame we were hit by the two ACL injuries as the competition does feel like it was wide open.
Sure, some years there is an out and out stand out. But you still need to be there and then anything can happen.
It does take a lot. You need to be consistent. Then get through the finals with a team not to knocked around by injuries.
On ya bike then? That's as Mormony I could joke.

Up the refs. I'm a gun at grand final week from a non included team fan base.
If he wins the GF and backs it up with top 4 appearances with the Broncos for the next couple of seasons then there's no question. His coaching methods are very effective, but the jury is still out on how successful it is in the long term. There were some interesting comments from Cheese in a podcast earlier in the year in reference to Elijah Taylor's going public about Madge working them too hard at the Tigers. He said Madge gave them an absolute flogging in the build up to that famous Kiwis victory, something he'd never experienced at rep level before. And he said for a tournament like that it brought the best out of them in the final. But he was not so sure with the length of the NRL.

If that's what he's done at the Broncs it's worked this year, next week will determine if he's really a better coach than Kevvie.
Q. Why did the ref belatedly call back McLean’s intercept try without allowing it to play out and then have the bunker confirm the inside 10 if indeed he was inside 10?
Kudos to the donkeys. That was an effort and passion win. The extra week must have been the difference - both teams looked so shagged with 20 to go. I get they played an intense first 40 but it was like a bunch of players from both sides aged 20 years at half time. Haas was the first Bronc to grab the game by the throat I thought and then they just hopped on his back.
I really can’t see the Broncos having enough to go with the Storm for 80. They’ll make a game of it but I think it’ll be a Storm win.
And how was Rhys Walsh in his post game on Matty John’s - bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody bloody brilliant

He replaced the F word with bloody
Grubber to your centres, snipe out of dummy half, inside balls with or without shapes, your super stars offloading, and sideline conversions under pressure, you make your own luck

PS other teams throw shapes and go wide to find their spinal money men to make plays happen, Panthers find Cleary, we seem to replicate Penrith so we once we lost Metcalf and we also didn’t have money men, basically Boyd, CHT and CNK
Boyd has really good pace he should back himself and take them on more
