There's been plenty of criticism aimed at the Parramatta Eels lately for not securing Lachlan’s signature, but honestly, it's a huge positive that we didn’t make a knee-jerk decision to sign Michael Maguire.
Let’s be real—Madge has won just one of his last six, and his Donkeys are being flogged at Brookvale with a star-studded lineup. The signs aren’t great. There are already rumblings coming out of the Broncos camp about his intense style, and one player has already been shown the door.
It’s really starting to look like we dodged a bullet.
Meanwhile, Jason Ryles has done a far better job so far—working with a squad full of development players and dealing with key injuries in crucial positions. And yet, the effort and attitude have been spot on.
Go Rylsey!

Oh, we've just found out who the little coward Bob Mertens supports lol. Poor little kent hiding behind his little keyboard in his broncos gear haha. Lol
I had Madge just ahead of Ryles but I certainly didn't want Hannay
The polls showed clear favouritism for Madge, but credit to the club for getting Ryles.

I'm currently loving how wrong I was about Ryles. I was worried he was just another Storm Assistant that talked a big game, plus, he shit me as a player.
He's proving to be exactly the coach this club needs.
"Intelligent recruitment plan looking farther a field for talent.UK as an example.
Having a specific plan in who they recruit as when I watch the Raiders I see athletes and physicality across the park what are you seeing ?
Exactly right what you…"
"Once possession swung then the fatigue set in for us and the ball movement stopped pretty much.
Theres no drama's it's just a time and experience thing happening now.

"overall vast improvements and no doubt more on the way BUUUTT !! for the love of God , why the hell is that one of our experienced forwards in the opening minutes of a match giving away dumb ass penalties or pushing a pass that was never going to…"
"Think Ryles has said this a few times in his press conferences. The team at the moment is just focused on improving in areas of the game and the results will come. Lot of young players getting a taste or nrl and we aren't really in a position to be…"

Couldn't agree more. The Broncos are in all sorts, with the talent in that squad they should be top 4 without a question.
