  • Enough of the "we are developing" crap

    Been hearing the same old thing for the past decade

    'Oh we are 2-3 years off seriously challenging" or "this is a rebuilding year". Then we get 2-3 years down the track and we are still trotting out the same old lines

    Sorry doesnt cut it with me. Teams like the Broncos never think like that.

    We were building a good team. That would be the one that got us to the 2010 Grand Final however the whole Todd Carney thing derailed that. It will begin again next year around the likes of James Maloney.

    Be patient young Jedi, we are not Cronulla.

      Storm are unbeaten this year, with Slater, Smith and Cronk hitting career best form. We're not the Eels, Titans, Raiders or Souffs. We have the youngest squad. I have faith in the club.

          Canberra and Souffs were the better teams in defeat against us. Lucky Dugan and Fensom got injured, thats all I can say.

            Souths will win their share
            Canberra will win a few too
            We are definitely in the same class as Parra and the Titans..
            I think they can probably beat us though.

              Sorry to burst your bubble Dolphin, but teh broncos always had half a QLD origin side, and the rest could be under 11s.

              We have 10 under 11s and a couple of has been retirees. No Broncos side was ever this raw and young. Having said that we are poorly coached so dont expect these kids to learn anything. But teh 2-3 year thing is about mental readiness. They dont have 6 Origin players to guide them during a game or to take the pressure off.

                How were canberra better? Recieved two controversial penalties to score, besides that, they had nothing!

                Against souths we competed for the full 80, they didn't, pretty simple

                  It just pisses me off that the Sharks are a mentally tougher footy side than us. They have a captain who leads the way.

                    Brisbane always put out 17 professional players every week. It is as simple as that...

                      The rebuilding excuse is so 2006. Truth is this club has lost all direction since Gus and Bernie went. Most fans are happy with the youth policy (not me) so reap what you sow. This club is not much better off than Parradoesntmatta..my pre-season prediction is looking good....12th to 15th. Just look at our recruitment for this yr....our squad is worse than 2011. So i'm not surprised whatsoever. Expect more floggings.

                        I agree. But teh arguement here is that the Brisbane "babies" were so much better. Its not hard when youve got Langer, Webke, Lockyer, Hodges, Thaiday, Carlaw in the team.

                        I said it last year out of all the so called great under 20s, wed be lucky to see one or 2 actually make first grade standard. Im still waiting. We have nothing, that Im not disputing. Our biggest problem is we have no such leadership. Mini Anasta and Pearce are not leaders. petero, Lockyear , Langer and Webke were.

                            A captain who wanted to be a rooster this season.

                            Thanks Smithy.
