To make it even worse, he should have been out the back anyway >:(

Paps was genuinely crying. I’m heartbroken for him.

Why is Craig playing Paps in the middle of the park. He was at fullback when young went off and he could have left him there. Terrible coaching and it has finished our season and could have finished Paps' career. Paps should not be tackling front rowers.

We can not win next week no matter who we play with the centres we are using and now Coats is gone. Our front rowers are nowhere as not up to it either. Out in straight sets again.

Bronco v Panthers grand final. Lets home for the Broncos win. But I hate the CEO.

Tui having his two best runs of the game when the game is all but over isnt frustrating at all.

Don’t care about the result. Devastated for Ryan.

Pretty much everything that could go wrong did go wrong.

Pappy 😭

Coates out. Seve and Loiero HIAs.

Too many penalties, missed tackles, dropped ball.

Reynolds with perfect kicks dropping 3 metres out, Munster with kicks straight to in goal for 20m restart.

Another worrying sign is that our last 3 finals we have been horrible.

Tonight, v Raiders last season and 2021 preliminary final v Panthers.

Dreadful.
Upside is Broncos can't win the comp - they weren't good, we were terrible.

Grant - spent too much time trying to grub it up and not enough time trying to play footy.
Hughes - didn't look fit, not his best game.
Munster - is he the new Dane Gagai? Superstar in origin, average in club games.
Welsh - why?
Paps = poor bugger. That's just awful.
Coates tried, did Warbrick even play? Who were our centres? And come to think of it who were our forwards.
We must all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately

Surely we can play Faalogo at fullback next week. Just something different. All these regulars suck

I don’t know how to put Paps injury into the whole context of it all but the club really needs to take a good hard look at themselves. That is the third straight finals loss all off the back of the forward pack not having a go and errors galore for pretty much everyone.

The roster construction is not good enough either. That’s plain as day.
