Over the last few weeks I’ve been shocked by the way some Brisbane Broncos supporters and sections of the Brisbane media have talked about the days when players all wanted to play for the Brisbane Broncos. You would think that the Broncos were the team everyone had to play for. That players were climbing over…
Daniel Nichols looks back at the 2013 NRL season for all 16 clubs. Today he looks backs at the Brisbane Broncos season. Finished: 12th Predicted: 10th Fan Prediction: 4th What Went Wrong: The Broncos started the year by signing experienced halfback Scott Prince in hope he would add some experience and composure to a halves…
This is something we need to sit down and discuss now. With Ben Barba looking to leave the Bulldogs and head back to Queensland, we have now got to a point where a number of key players the club has invested time and money into have somehow found ways to leave the club. Sonny Bill…
New South Wales has jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the 2013 State Of Origin series after beating Queensland by a scoreline of 14-6. It was a brilliant start to the game that saw New South Wales set the platform for their victory. The Blues go forward was outstanding and really put Queensland on…
The 2012 Australian Prime Ministers XIII team has been announced. They will face off against Papua New Guinea in Port Moresby on September 23rd. This game is not just about giving Papua New Guinea a good hit out, it is also about promoting healthy lifestyles in Papua New Guinea and the players in the side are ambassadors…
Game one of the 2012 State Of Origin series was a very interesting game for a number of reasons. I personally didn’t think it was the highest quality game, I think neither side played at their best, but both probably learned a lot from that first game and I think both teams will be thinking…
You are probably wondering why I have not listed the Queensland and New South Wales sides heading into State Of Origin three. The reason is, it doesn’t really matter who was named. Queensland have named a very strong side, they have dropped Ben Hannant for Petero Civoniceva. They looked great. New South Wales on the…
The Gold Coast Titans had a great year last year, but when it came to finals football, they were just way short of the mark. Two major problems showed up for the Titans. First, they didn’t seem to be able to step up and play at a higher level, a higher gear. While great teams…
The Canterbury Bulldogs have a problem. They have invested a lot of time and money in a player who now wants out of the club. Ben Hannant signed a 3 year deal with the Canterbury Bulldogs after the Brisbane Broncos chose not to offer him enough money. He moved to Sydney with his young family,…
Feels good man, feel’s real good. Australia has blown England off the park in the Four Nations Final in Leeds by a scoreline of 46-16. The fight half was a beauty, with both teams swapping the lead for the entire 40 minutes. Australia were under pressure early, giving away stupid penalties, and had to hold…
The Parramatta Eels have booked a place in the 2009 NRL Grand Final with a hard fought 22-12 win over the Canterbury Bulldogs. The game started terribly for the Bulldogs with Luke Patten leaving the field with concussion from an accidental knee and it seemed from there Bulldogs were dropping like flies! David Stagg, Ben…
Well the State Of Origin series is over and the next representative football we will be looking forward to is the end of season Four Nations competition held in England and France. The World Champion New Zealand team will be looking to stamp themselves as the best in the world while Australia will be looking…
Well the mid season Test match is not far off now and its time to start thinking about who you would select in your Australian Test team. Its sad to think that politics will come into play when picking the actual side. The Queenslanders will not be happy untill all 17 players are from Queensland…
Penrith must once again be favorites for the wooden spoon in 2008 after being easily beaten by the Broncos 48-12. Brisbane did it easy, despite their side looking to be the poorer side on paper and starting Darren Lockyer from the bench for the first 20 minutes of the game. Brisbane looked fitter, faster and more…
