    If hes worried about getting him some ball just put him the front row. Ffs why do we always feel like a makeshift squad.

    he may end up there, given the lack of a prop rotation

    Props don't touch the ball anyway. it's RTS, then 1 or 2 each by the wingers, then Tevaga dying with the ball, then maybe a prop. then a "long" kick from our own 40.

    I don't usually enter the season with expectation, but this year feels even lower than usual. The feel around any fans i have seen online is one of bottomless pessimism

    It would feel wrong to have great expectations about a warriors season. “Keeping the faith” is a long forgotten mantra or at least any unbelievable type of one. I think, that a quarter of a century of following this c@nt of a team we can be honest with our pre season assessments now.

    It’s going to suck. If its better than sucking it’s a bonus. I think we are good for 8-10 games. I expect some players will be released and go on to teams where they are challenged to be better. They’ll be better and win accolades for great lay if not premierships.

    We’ll pin our hopes to RTS. He’ll deliver what he can. He will pull us over the line like only he can. When he eventually submits to the pressure of carrying 8-10 useless over paid and under coached players on his back by either leaving or injuring himself we’ll pin our hopes to some kid that is underdone but has an amazing goosie.

    We’ll wonder if there maybe are too many islanders. Maybe we need more aussies. Maybe we need a more Polynesian, Polynesian coach than the one we have. One that wears a lava lava. Maybe we need Wayne Bennett or Craig Bellamy. Maybe both. Maybe we need Ardie or even Julian. Fuck knows really, what’s needed at this club but I’m pretty sure we don’t need Kearney.

    Shared a flight with the Warriors a few days ago, have to say they were physically prettyul unimpressive. Not unfit, just not that imposing.
    Seemed very polite chaps though, so I'm sure they'll go well...

    As an aside, I love the strict weight restrictions on cabin baggage when they then go and book all the seats bar 4 to a bunch of 100kg dudes. Guess we were balanced at least

    Darius Boyd is retiring at the end of the year

    Reckons he had a lightbulb moment when a mate asked him if this was it.

    I reckon the lightbulb moment should have been when it was clear how few fucks he gave early last season. Two seasons too late for Broncos fans.

    One of the more over-rated players of recent times.

    On the Rugby League PS4 game I have he's rated higher than Billy Slater so gets selected in the Oz and QLD teams ahead of him. 🤦

    an entire career built on being on the end of the Qld backline where far superior players handed him the ball to score.

    And following the ultimate chequebook coach Bennett around and jagging a premiership or two.

    Can't, and won't tackle, isn't quick, isn't a ball player. Just a bog average back. Most Bronco fans were ecstatic to hear he was retiring, and then gutted it's not with immediate effect.

    NRL players do pre-season regional school visit. NRL players meet school girls. NRL players take said school girls back to their hotel.

    NRL players are in a lot of trouble. Mainly because they are idiots.

    What part of your brain thinks that's a good idea?

    Even if you're straight outta school into an NRL team and you still feel 'part' of school life, surely you give it a massive sidestep??

    Just incredible the lack of brains

    it would be the worst preview ever

    Among the pundits, we are overwhelming favourites for the spoon

    No props. Adam Blair. Shit halves. The overpaid Nikorima to the bench already. Kearney. We are proper fucked.

    I think they will win their first game and set expectations soaring.

    Knights away? If they do there will be massive alarm bells in Newcastle.

    Good grief. Consensual, legal sex leads to the Bulldogs losing two million in sponsorship. What has the world come to?
