To be fair, the Broncs havn’t had a solid option for captain since Locky retired 9 years ago. Sammy’s game suffered noticably, Hodges missed too many games, Parker was a great player but not sure about his leadership credentials and Boyd was pretty much the last man standing when he took on the role.
Cyril and Porkey have been gone for a long time (and it should be noted that a lot of the current talent the broncos have been criticised for not retaining or spotting on the way though their system was on Cyrils watch). The side’s been dealing with these for years and still been more successful then most, I’m not sure that they are quite the obstacles they’re made out to be.

The Broncos have no rugby league IQ

Seriously? We’re fed story after story of what some of the greatest players to grace the footy field got up to in their “preperations” for some of the biggest games in in their lives but leaving a hotel at 11 after a night of not drinking is unproffesional?

Is this covered by the no fault stand down policy?

I’m not sure someone with Hooks record at the Broncs should be talking about 8th not being a pass mark…

Wayne had an older, wiser and more experienced team last year and got pummelled by the 8th placed Dragons by 48 points at home. Hell, Waynes last three finals games comprise of a 30-6 loss, a 48-18 loss and a 30-nill loss. I know you don’t like Seibold but lets not rewrite history so you can justify it.
A lot of factors have contributed to the Broncos season this year, attributing everything to specific individuals is surface level stuff that only serves to fuel peoples preconceptions. Isn’t there enough of that in the commercial coverage of the game already?

Isn’t that exactly what they were doing up until a couple seasons ago when everyone started kicking up a stink whenever decisions that favoured their team were reversed? Limiting it to in goal decisions was the compromise. Let’s be honest, the NRL can’t win here

Oh, Finchy wasn’t blowing up about both those shots. Spent 15 minutes blowing up delux at Marty not getting sent off, Evens shoulders a guy in the face and it’s “that’s probably a sin bin”…

The article’s not about who’s each teams match winner, it’s who they can’t win without.

As for McCullough, two top 3 finishes, a grand final and consistently in the 8? Wow, imagine what they could do without him holding them back. I swear the people that say McCullough is useless are the same ones that say Hunt is a great 9.

It’s pretty obvious why Nine wants to keep the comp small. When you’re only showing three games a week for most of the season more teams means less market share, and more teams means fans are less likely to see their team on fta. When pay-tv numbers are acounting for over 40% of tv veiwership you can understand why Nine are getting concerned (though I reckon if your biggest competitor is charging a fair chunk of change for something you’re giving for free there are probably other issues that need addressing).

As far as what the NRL should do, I reckon it would be in their best interest to look at multi-network fta coverage for the next deal. It shifts the ballance of power back to their side while potentially increasing fta coverage and a bit of competition should stop the coverage from the low effort staleness you get from a monopoly. It also shifts the conversation from how NRL rating are going to how each network is going. None of which really works in Nines favour mind you…

What should the next NRL TV deal look like?
