Discuss Wests Tigers v Brisbane Broncos here.

[DavidM 9,090]

Broncos by 6

[Lowdesert 2,930]

Wests by 10.  Benj is back.

[freddyyow 16]

Just saw Herbie Farnworth has been ruled out for this game. Having not seen him play before I was hoping to get the chance to in this game.

[Lowdesert 2,930]

All going to end in tears (again) for the Broncos if it carries on like this.

[JohnM 6,847]

Commentator has just said, "the capitulation continues."

TBH, Bronchos have done well to score a big fat zero after 53 mins. Wests at 42.  25 mins to go.

A glue factory is too good for these Broncos. Embarrassing.

[Copa 4,264]

This is hard to watch...

[Lowdesert 2,930]

48-0

Only one Benji.

[freddyyow 16]

Well at least one team showed up.

I hope for the best for Corey Oates though. That was a horrible injury.

[Number 16 1,311]

Methinks a much needed coaching change this week.

[The Future is League 2,416]

I really can't see how Seibold can last any longer. He's a disaster as the Broncos coach

But who?

[EastLondonMike 1,505]

Just watched highlights. How bad was that Bronco's defence?!.. Changes inevitable i think. Player's aren't up for it.

Anyone is bound to be an improvement on Seibold.

And listening to his post-game press conference it appears he simply hasn't a clue as to what is happening to the Broncos.

The who is secondary to 'not Seibold'.

For me, and given that the Broncos' play off hopes are dust, I'd go left-field and give the Walker brothers the gig to the end of the season. 

Firstly, it would be interesting to see how they go in the big league, whilst secondly, it would give the Broncos time to sort out a long term coach (which could include the Walkers if they pull things around).

That said, I doubt the Walkers will happen.

I think the Walkers will end up at Dogs.

The Broncos are losing troops quickly.  Their confidence is completely shot and they have no one to come back in to boost it.

Wests v Parra next week could be a cracker.

 

[Hela Wigmen 976]

The Walkers are going to the Warriors.

Hope the Walkers get an NRL chance somewhere. If they`re allowed to stick to their principles they could have a better quality impact on the game than six-again.

Easily the worst Broncos side I've ever seen in 7 years of watching NRL. Last week's win over the Bulldogs was very much a false dawn (all in all one of the most error-strewn games of RL I've seen at any level). Just completely dominated in the middle tonight by a pretty average Tigers side.

It's quite depressing how hierarchical NRL is at this point (5 or 6 really good teams, 2 or 3 absolute whipping boys and a few somewhere in the middle) and I think the "6 again" rule has exacerbated that as it inevitably provides an extra boon for teams who dominate possession.

Some better games to come this weekend but I think you'd have to say it's really a 5 team tournament between Storm, Eels, Roosters, Raiders & Panthers. Knights a possible wildcard and Sea Eagles would be in the mix but for injuries. The rest is a whole mess of "ordinary" as the Aussies say.

Disgusting again from the Broncos , like they can’t even be bothered . West’s had a losing record , they’re not that good but the Broncos made them look like the 82 invincibles . Some rubbish there in that famous jersey . Looks totally rotten at that club . 

[CanadianRugger 1,437]

Wests smashed them.  Some real nice Rugby from Tigers but by god were the Broncos dour!

I had 2 Broncos fans come into my place of work today. It’s so rare for me to be able to talk to real life RL fans about RL. I had a great conversation with them, and believe me the pain was there in their eyes to see. They both love their club, can’t comprehend that it’s where it is now, both want Siebold to go, but have no solution as to who the replacement should be, except that it needs to be a real Broncos guy who would have an emotional interest and would be prepared to make tough decisions for the good of the club. Any ideas who fits that bill, and is available?

I honestly don't know who would be a fit for the head coaching position.

I wouldn't be surprised to see ex-players like Corey Parker get involved in some capacity though.
