The problem for the Broncs is simple.When Reynolds plays , they have a coach.On the field. When Reynolds is missing , they don’t.

[@cfx5364]

Correct! Pat is a good player but isn’t a good leader

[@Dellasus2011]

And yet, all the Broncos' supporters wanted Reynolds sacked after the grand final

[@ir711]

only because we are now paying for a part-time player. unfortunately, Reynolds is now injury-prone. but when he is healthy broncs are dominant. But the best ability is availability.

[@kevinwaters5872]

@@ir711 Agree , but NO Reynolds , no hope of going all the way. This season.

[@GodKingx87]

@@Dellasus2011no we didn’t

[@CraigGrimshaw]

Halfback is not controlling any attack. Terrible kicking game

[@deadlyfish5778]

The problem is the team can't play solid gritty football. It's like it has to be flashy or nothing. Peel it back and just hit the ball up hard hold the ball and the flashy stuff will come. All the good teams do the tough stuff before the flashy stuff . You don't have to score on every set FFS.

[@taiyonatiare7918]

100%, it’s always one or the other no in between

[@nuperspektive]

Wtf is happening over there at training? why does everyone keep dropping the ball? Kicking on 2nd tackle? reminds me of the spoon year

[@bobnicholson8177]

Agreed! So disappointing!

[@kevinsaj604]

the dropping in that game may have been influenced by the rain I think?

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

@@kevinsaj604 nah definitely not. They need holding the ball practice

[@majesticheartproductions85]

There’s a major red flag here when Kev defends the performance of players like Sailor and Madden, who were very obviously dismal. If they’re being mentioned in the media, not to mention the fans, Kev, TAKE NOTE! They are sh** and it shows! We are losing and badly, stop ignoring what’s going wrong. Where’s Patty’s talk?? (On or off the field?) They’re lacking leadership, that’s a captains thing!

[@lukem2260]

Settle down cowboy ,lol

[@matthewriley2115]

Your spot on brother

[@mo0ko0]

Agree. Kev is protecting player who perform poorly. If he can’t see that they are performing poorly that is a huge problem.

[@Ixciimero]

Madden and Sailor should drop immediately or Broncos will loose all their games. They were very bad. They're only good for QLD cup not nrl.They have been waiting this for long and they don't have it to take advantage of the opportunity and deliver even try. The were too bad in every game they played.

[@geoffreymori5959]

I'm starting to question the resigning of Ezra Mam. He can't stand on his own,he needs Walsh and Reynolds to hold his hands

[@nswblues3146]

I agree, I struggle to see the broncos being a top 4 team once Reynolds retires.

[@chek33official]

Plus his defence his awful

[@JacksonWillmot-p4l]

So overrated. Shouldn't even be in origin camp.

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

@@nswblues3146we just need to learn how to play good footy without him. If they do, then they will definitely be a top 4 team. but if they don’t, no chance of it.

[@travisrobertson5689]

Time to throw the wallet at Sam Walker. This year isn't acceptable. Could see a Reynolds injury coming from a mile away and our depth and bench is awful. Why wasn't cobbo full back last night? I couldn't believe it?

[@tomkirk2291]

Yep, yep & yep. 100%

[@GuyMorris-oq2zp]

All teams have ups and downs through the season, I have no doubt Bronco's will be there come finals time. Ok they might be patchy right now but that will change, I'm a Panthers fan and they were crap at the start of the season and have had some crap games throughout as well but as we get closer to finals footy the good teams will really start to push and Bronco's will shine when it matters, plus getting Reynolds and Walsh back will certainly help. I'm sure Kevvie ain't too worried about things right now.

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

I think we will come good. We just need to learn how to play good footy without reyno and we’ll be good. And yes, we are in trouble at the moment, but if we can go on a 3 or 4 game winning streak, we will be right back into it.

[@JiMEp]

Jock Madden is not the guy. Said it plenty of times. Kevvi, open your eyes and see what everyone else sees!

[@blakemccauley8636]

@JiMEp I would drop Jock Madden for Josh Rogers, while Reynolds is out. He's a bigger body and does the simple things well

[@Ixciimero]

Million percent agree, Kev was blind and kept Brodie croft and got the woody spoon. Kevin must drop Sailor and Madden they're only good for QLD cup not nrl

[@JiMEp]

@@blakemccauley8636 I've been following rugby league for 30+ years and the broncos just as long. They have kids in qld cup that are genuine halfs and can run a team. They need to push for black to get into the side or at least be around Reynolds at training etc .. he is the kid

[@eliesaad5692]

Madden & smoothy, ship up or ship out.

[@Ixciimero]

Ship out given so much play time and can't ship up

[@someguy-br7rj]

Even on a good weather the Bronx would still make as many errors as they usually do..Like Honestly hold the the ball!!

[@bringtheseo]

We just kept dropping the ball. Not making any excuses but the conditions were horrible.

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

We had lots of chances to win the game, but we kept blowing it like you said.

[@imalwaysright]

Maybe I’m not paying attention to coaching/strategy, but I like Kevvie. He’s a good man.

[@war1132]

Kevie not havn any eyebrows hides how angry he really has bn the last 3 weeks😂😂

[@jordanslays_]

You played like the 2020 spoon team how can you say the effort was good

[@nswblues3146]

Whilst it may be too early to say, after Broncos lost the gf last year, I knew that was going to be their only chance for a while. Reynolds plays such a big part of their attack and once he is gone, I knew they would struggle. Reece Walsh’s flashy style is not sustainable, if you look at every fullback that has had standout seasons like him e.g Hayne, Papenhuyzen, Tommy Turbo, Tedesco, they all become riddled with injuries and struggle to overcome them after a year or two. I hope I’m wrong because I love Kevin Walters, he refuses to make excuses and never blames anybody. He was impossible to hate whilst he was Qlds origin coach. I thought it was good of him to acknowledge that Riki shouldn’t have stayed on the field.

[@carpetsnake83]

Hey Kev how many weeks you think Riki should get And aren’t you mad they didn’t send him off We got to protect the players

[@nathanbrown4641]

Sounds like salty new south Welshman talk🧂

[@manmountain3205]

All honesty they weren't playing as a team tonight, respect to kevvie no excuses

[@drjonn3986]

Someone’s got to teach Mariner how to catch the ball too!

[@40_Twenty]

Remove Madden and put in Josh Rogers. Sailor and Mam failed to perform weekly.

[@garycooper8119]

Yes, Sailor started the rot last week and this week. Madden just pushes the ball on and doesn't challenge the line. He has had his go. Time for Rogers to have a go. He is a better defender too. Get the defence right and you aren't chasing points.

[@scottymclaren3582]

Glory glory to South Sydney!

[@garrysecuramot]

We've got a team of champions, but it's not a champion team when they're not coached to combine and play as a team.

[@whatalife212]

Deffenetly not a champion team I believe that Title belongs to the tripple champs the Mighty penrith panthers 🏆🏆🏆

[@taiyonatiare7918]

[@npd6225]

What? lol it’s not a coaching/system error it’s skill errors - he can’t make them hold the ball.

[@darrylparke8048]

Should never had let Herbie Farnworth go. Yet pay big money for some of these other overrated players.

[@Ixciimero]

Million percent agree

[@tomkirk2291]

I love Ezra but he played his best when he was fighting for a spot. He worked on his defence heaps & it showed in the earlier part when he was firing & his attack came on the back of it but now has dropped off the high level to mediocre. Gotta earn your jersey.

[@Music-only.23]

Bring in Josh Rodgers Jock is useless🤦

[@DjDmt]

You guys ever heard of mics?

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

There’s a mic right there mate

[@colinratcliffe2454]

The broncos lack a good halfback, Reynolds is gone until round 23, I believe. Reynolds body is worn out, he’s finished. The broncos need to find a good halfback immediately for the future. It won’t be Broncos year this year.

[@BroncosXediting_alt]

Don’t rule them out just yet. I think they will come good but yes they do have to find their grip again, if they can learn to play good without Reynolds, they’ll be good. But we haven’t learnt that yet.

[@johnsonwithat2322]

Someone already said it, but they're right... what the fk are they doing at training?

[@SJ-dm3eb]

I'd be fuming if my team put in the performances of Broncos recently. There's no hunger. The old Broncos are back. This team conceded 36 points against titans you don't win anything doing that.

[@RobertLewis-el9ub]

Madden has failed in three games - time for Ezra to be #7. Sailor is woeful - time for Cobbo to be #1. Rest of the team need tackling practice.

[@Ixciimero]

Too much reliance on Reynolds

[@garrytito2068]

Coach seems weak every weak. To be fair 2nd half broncos were better. Hold on to the FKN ball.

[@Spartan902]

They aren't playing as a team, plain and simple. They are playing for themselves and when it works it looks great but it isn't the way forward. When Penrith are without Nathan, nothing changes in the way they play. Plus defence isn't reliant on Reynolds. That is one area that they can completely control but keep making stupid mistakes which is proving costly. I have said from the start that Kevin Walters isn't a good coach and nothing has changed. Reynolds has been the onfield coach and even he couldn't stop that disaster in the GF. Reynolds body is done and if he plays on we can only expect more injuries and another season where he is out for a lot of games. Time to move on from both Adam and Kevvie. I loved Kevvie as a player but not very many great players make good coaches.

[@cressida00]

If the Broncs get rolled by the Wahs after the bye, U can put a line through them.

State or Origin hurts the comp, hurts the Broncos and hurts the game. The manufactured state rivalry is a wast of time and is a joke. If you need to watch this rubbish put it on at the end of the year so true NRL fans don't get their game ruined for six weeks.

[@multioptioned]

State of Origin has proven its point, Queensland is the better state for rugby league players. No need for it anymore. But money rules the game and SOO is a cash cow, so it remains. Same for needing 8 teams in the finals. It's only about revenue and money is the most important thing in sports.
