Cross-Forum-Discussion Round 19 2023 Cross Forum Chat

Can Broncos fans really complain about the draw... ever?

Exhibit A

 

[NZWarriors.com]

It's the hardest in the comp for the 3rd year straight, so yes.

The Broncos have hardly left Queensland in the first 19 RDs - played two "away games" at Suncorp.

Are gifted the consistent Friday games year on year and still bitch and moan.

The NRL can't actually predict which team are going to be top 8 each year.

Maybe have a cry about the draw in a third not in a cross forum with a team 3 games in 11 days against 2022 Top 4 teams (and throwing in trans tasman travel)

I mean, you guys complain about literally everything and you're this years fairytale team because of it. It's yours to lose.

That's ridiculous. I've seen alot more bitching and moaning from the Broncos fanbase.

We literally had no away games during the pandemic, got told what a great sacrifice was made, and were rewarded how exactly?

And then the team who has barely left Queensland in a comp with 13 teams outside not from Queensland says they hard done by. Get a grip.

If you're an optimistic Warriors supporter (duh!) this article will give you joy.

That data has been discussed on our forum.

I think we’re 2nd favourites for a top 8 and 4th favourites for the whole title statistically. Us Warriors fans are in foreign territory!

Might need you Broncos/ Manly supporters advice on how to prepare for finals game as a fan. It’s all a distant / alcohol hazed memory.

We have the softest lead in to the finals for the rest of the draw so in the spirit of complaining about everything, I’m going to say we will be underdone and have false confidence.

Why do you do this to us NRL!

And it doesn’t stopping raining in Aucks. How are we supposed to learn to play on those hard and fast tracks in Aussie? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

It's incredible how people talk about Broncos never leaving Queensland, but never stop to consider how many clubs in NSW never leave NSW 😄. So what's the difference between Broncos and the rest?

I'm actually happy to report Broncos have only had 6 Friday night games out of 19 rounds. Which is only a third. They have all pretty much been extremely tough games such as Panthers, bunnies and dolphins when they were in form. So Friday night game advantage doesn't mean much.

At the start of the year our draw was ranked as being pretty difficult. But to be objective we face the Storm, Penrith Eels, Rabbits and Broncos only once. The Raiders draw is very comparable (ours might even be a tad easier). Those two losses to the Roosters, and the one against the baby Broncs were our missed opportunities.

Have you had a run of 3 games in 11 days against glamour clubs this year?

Or even had 3 home games in 3 season.

And still come to a cross forum crying how hard it is being a Bronco.
Very self aware behaviour from a fanbase....

Eels, Rabbitohs, storm. Probably not in 11 days but

We aren't crying about how hard it is, we are mainly just sick of hearing about how easy we have it.

The numbers are right there. Hardest draw out of all clubs, 3 seasons in a row. The NRL know we rate on TV, so they make us play the best / glamour clubs twice every year, because you know what rates better than the Broncos? The Broncos losing.

Oh no, your team got to live in the country a lot of them come from and would probably prefer to live in, got handed players from other clubs and got to live in one of the best countries in the world. You guys get all the praise for the pandemic NRL era but which city held that **** together? Brisbane. Not a single word of praise has been given about that, all we hear is how the Warriors saved the competition.

NSW teams barely leave NSW too. Like far less than Brisbane have this year. You get numerous games a year against Origin affected teams, specifically the Broncos almost every year. You have a whole country of players to choose from. Face it, mate. Your team gets every advantage the Broncos get, and some.

Do you reckon your 2021 draw was harder than the club that had 0 home games? Really?
Or the 2022 draw was harder than the club that had 3 home games? Really?

The NRL aren't actually able to predict the variance in club form so it a very moot point and pretty weird from a fanbase that accuse the Warriors of whinging...

Like @ZTop said, we aren't crying about how hard it is, we're just saying that the dominant opinion of NRL fans that "The Broncos have it easy" is bull****. It's based on lies that get retold enough to be accepted as truth.

Our Dally M winning captain quit, numerous players returned home, players kids changed schools numerous times, the team changed bases numerous times. The club was disconnected from it home base for three season.

The only thanks we got was West Tigers bringing one game to New Zealand...

And that's your take?

Like I said - not a very self aware bunch are you?

Was it actually the hardest draw in 2021 and 2022 or would prefer and easier draw with all your games in New Zealand?

Of the 32 players the Warriors had in 2020, 14 were not from NZ anyway, and 8 of them spent most of their careers in Australia. A lot of them had barely played in NZ and were everyones 2nd favourite team at the time. They had plenty of home fans show up to games whilst in a climate most of their players were used to. Andddd they didn't play their Home games at their oppositions stadium either, but at a neutral venue.

Why are we the only ones who cop this "hardly left Qld" ****? Sydney teams only leave the city about once every 8 weeks, nobody complains about that.

We have the hardest draw, and the 4th most travel. Only Melbourne, Warriors and Cowboys travel more, for obvious reasons.

Don't let facts get in the way of your "Broncos bad" whinging though.

How many days between those games? How much international travel exactly?
