Round 1 vs South Sydney.

[Red]

Not sure where you live, but I’m on the peninsula and it’s going to be pretty scary, my company flew me from Karratha to be with my family. There’s plenty of idiots here who won’t be affected but are happy to sit there and give an opinion. On people who will be affected.

I'm from there but live in West End now. That's my point. It's going to be a massive storm so what they can they do to stop damage to houses that they haven't already done? With of course the families taking up the NRL offer to put them in hotels away from potential danger.

I'm not saying I think they've done the wrong thing..... only that I can't really understand it.

It would be pretty hard to switch on for a game with this in the back of your head. A man will always put his family first. We had the police knocking on our doors yesterday asking us to leave , unfortunately we have nowhere to go so will have to ride it out , would imagine they are in the same boat.

What’s pissing me off is people who aren’t even in the state let alone going to be affected by this calling players and families out.

Strange that. I don't think we can or should blame Woolf for it.

Broncos love them or hate them have this mentality of all in none out this year and are challenging each other to who trains hardest. Cobbo who's a notoriously lazy trainer and went onto podcasts to say his coach is a "good person" has lost 7kg he's bought into this culture of McGuire.

Dolphins have a couple of players too many close to retirement and you can't have too many middle road journeymen in a club as it creates the culture we're now seeing from a few players. Training got lazy last year with the coach on the way out and players on the way out when just one extra win and one applicable effort gets them into the semi finals they were content knowing they were no where near the top 3 sides.

The Dolphins club and those 3 players are the laughing stock of the other 16 clubs.

This is wooden spoon material. I think we should all come back in 2026 to see if they're serious or just want to be we are in the comp it's okay. Many still expect Dolphins to be like the Crushers or be a club with no soul like the Titans.

 

[257Matt]

A squad needs an even balance of players not just in positions but also need to be balanced with elite marquee players, players on the rise, players looking for a chance, clubmen & tradesmen and very few middle of the road & journeymen players who are looking for a quick pay day.

Roosters over balanced in having way too many superstar players which seems odd but every star player wants their hands on the ball. See how they go now they've lost some of the star power had Walker still been there they would have been better balanced.

Dolphins balance still isn't right and I was the lone voice saying Woolf needs to faze out these journeymen players as there's way too many of them still and some in here led by Geoffrey & his fan crew didn't understand or comprehend.

Oddly enough Dolphins are better with O'Sullivan and Kerr in the team. Kerr is better outside the 10m range than Nicholls and O'Sullivan will help Katoa a lot more. The issue for Dolphins is player morale and a split within the ranks these things don't recover overnight. This is something Madge has managed to achieve at the Broncos getting everyone in on what he's doing and this is why not a single Broncos player hesitated going to Sydney knowing there's a chance they won't be home post home for a few days and why the players families all fell into line proactive and profession leadership from Madge and their admin.

This is a spoon year and people are contempt with mediocrity.

Laughing stock, how do you come to that comment. The broncos got a gf and missed the 8 and got lapped in plenty of games. And now because they have a new coach everyone is licking there arse. Let’s see if a leopard can change its spots when there in against storm / panthers when it’s tough. And to be honest I wish you would leave and come back in 26

I agree with that but I said right from the first message on the subject, all families should of course take up the NRLs offer to be moved to hotels in a safe place. If it wasn't for that, of course they wouldn't play. Also if being at home or not was going to be significant but I don't see why it would be. If they are in any danger, they shouldn't be at home anyway. Them being home or not isn't going to stop a flood.

That's the way I see it anyway. Not against them sitting out the game but don't understand what the fuss is about if they and their families are out of harms way. I think it would be better for all involved if the families took up the NRLs offer. Emergency services are already going to have enough to do.

Broncos given special permission to fly back after the game from the Premiere himself. Someone really needs to knock these losers down a few pegs once and for all

Well what you expect when you owned by newspapers you can blackmail the shit outta them wasn't any planning done just ph a friend

Seems only:

• Kodi Nikorima
• Mark Nicholls
• Kenny Bromwich

have pulled out. I think 2 of the 3 should join the other one in being a fringe first grader. Just need Dononghue to have a big game. It raises more questions. Why do those 3 need to pull out but not at least half a dozen others?

2 are in flooding zone and kodis closer to it rest aint near the trouble spots

Fair enough. What can their presence at home do to stop the flood? To take care of their families? WTF are their families still doing in harms way?

Peter Mulholland who was the premier recruitment guru back in his day once said you need a balance in the squad and if you have too many journeymen players you're in trouble and this is the Dolphins issue too many journeymen style players where they're just happy to collect a final pay cheque or bounce around for a payment.

It's funny I said weeks ago and got shot down by the Geoffrey crew that Woolf needs to move on from the journeymen players the quicker he does this during the season the better for 2026.

Once there's disunity within the ranks and not everyone going the same way it's all over for the year ahead.

 

[257Matt]

Michael McGuire showed last night how he's got the Broncos completely zoned in, it's an all in none out mentality, it's a badge of honour to vomit into the bucket and players challenge each other to do extras after training ends. Canterbury learned last year to get to Penrith's level of training and Broncos are taking it to a new level. Everyone is on the same page and the scary part about last night is they should have won by a lot more Roosters won't be the only side to concede 50 to the Broncos this year.
