                    • yes, as it turn's out it's origin is NZ Rugby and nothing to do with the Brisbane Broncos.

                      My apologies.

                    • We used to call them 'suicides' when I was playing.

                  • In my day it was called the beep test or another run we used to do was called Henny Mullers for oxygen sapping lung busting exercise.

                    Yo-yo's is another run very similar to the bronco.

                    AB bronco record is 4.12 held by Beauden Barrett & Cam Roigard.

                    Blair Mills ie Hurricanes S & C coach fastest Bronco during there pre season this year was 4.20.

      • Hey hoe hope you're enjoying the off  season. Not sure, I have just been watching the ct podcasts.  They're been giving good updates in the off season. Fletcher they compared to Moses type player real athlete.  Beat ryley in the bronco run. They were neck and neck. Ryley beat Gutho s record last year. It was slower than ryleys time last year. Apparently Lorenzo lacks communication skills. Where as Fletch is a more confident kid. Pezet is in a similar mould. Pezet has worked in seamlessly. They said don't cancel out papali. Who has also been pushing pezet. They also said the skills training has gone up another level on last year. Ryles is implementing phase 2 of his system. Other names that have impressed are doorey, Moretti, Brown, tuivaiti and jdb for his leadership and professionalism. Hope this helps. 

        • It really doesn't Darren.

          The problem with the TCT pre-season gee-ups is that they write from a PR template. Same shit every year... only the names change. Best Preseason Ever, The Boys are Super Fit!!! 

          TCT don't need the special glasses...they have Rose-Coloured Eyeballs

          According to these clubby hacks, the Arthur boys should both be world-class players who broke our hearts when they left. Ooops

           

        • Thanks, Darren. Appreciate it. Encouraging.

          Interesting Fletcher beat Smith in the Bronco, yet the time was still slower than Smith’s 2025 run. Hopefully the rookies and juniors kick on. Not sure on Lorenzo, but Pap is up to firsts. Could Fletcher cover six for a bit?

          We seem on the right path. If we get boringly consistent with our systems, and make the finals, I’d call it a successful season. Tough start though. Will we struggle early or carry on from last year?

          • I would guess that Ryley has bulked up a bit since his '25 time

          • I know there are some uneducated people that comment on ct without reading it. These guys are parramatta through and through. They spend a lot of time watching, analysing and talking to fellow fans. They are more critical than what they used to be. Last year they highlighted how Riley was killing preseason.  He ended up going from flegg to first grade. This year fletcher is killing everything. They win shirts ala the tour de France. So in that photo  tuivaiti has the spotted shirt on and brown has the yellow one. Don't ask me what the shirts represent. I fhave forgotten. I heard about it last year. Just a quick note on fletcher very confident backs his ability.What u want in your half back.  Just a guideline all eyes will be on how they go in the trails and season proper. 

            • TCT are Parra People. Sixties used to be in our Cave years ago. I listen to so many podcasts of players, coaches, CEOs, and occasionally TCT especially when they interview others. They are often bullish, but very critical too. They were totally against the Pezet signing, like many here.

            • TC has some good content. They're dedicated. Not sure they have become more critical though. Just angrier?! If the Eels win it's a total gush fest. Losing and in 2025 there was an inordinate amount of focus on the refs. But on 1EE we have uniforms vs realists and TC is just where the unicorns go when things get spicy on 1EE. To each their own.
