Crikey mate feeling sorry for the Broncos. It's like feeling sorry for crocodiles. The nearly killed the game in the Super League era .Them and Murdoch. Never to be forgiven
Exactly!
Or, the comp is so close that a few little things can upset momentum, and next minute...
Exhibit A, Titans were run over at the start of the season, suddenly now they're the form team (just in time to play Manly next week)
(But I'm happy for coaches to cop the blame, they're well paid for the privilege of screwing up fans hopes and dreams!)
Which wasn't even their idea, if you read George Piggin's book. "Kick Souths OUT!" was a plan going around well before 1995 and the birth of Super League.
Super League - if it had survived - certainly needed to kick the World Club Challange to the curb. That was a shitshow that only served to make the shitty Australian Super League clubs - Warriors, Mariners, Reds, Rams - feel good about themselves.
Always amuses me how no one ever questions the people around the coach when a team goes bad. Like, the Warriors and Broncos drop-off in form couldn't possibly be because - in part - the assistants actually aren't all that great at best/are undermining the coach at worst.
I didn't rate him so I was pretty surprised last year when he got them to within 5 minutes of a premiership. Not sure if this year is back to normal transmission, or they just don't have a ready backup for Reynolds
