As an inception club , how in the hell did we allow ourselves to become so shit, and yet the Broncos and Roosters have forged ahead. You cant tell me it was all on Soward and he was responsible for everything. The club has to share some blame, or what they just said no worries Sowie you just turn us into a rabble for years to come.
Excuse me but

Totally uncalled for comment. Why not just say:

"The Broncos centre is very strong for a woman."

The power game took over and Sowie was very slow to adapt to it. Then according to Mug Fan Mug Fan and backed up by the fact soooo many good players left, he couldn't establish a good relationship with the team. He lost the change room in a big way, as they say.

But I believe we have turned the corner in NRLW as well. I watched both games vs Donkeys and Rorters and in both games our girls were right in it. Possibly even the better team until halftime but eventually the much bigger opposition ran away with the game late. I think it's not an exaggeration to say, across the park the Donkeys and Rorters are 15-20% heavier.

It was the big girl power game that won the GF, Lets hope we learnt our lesson.

Great to see the Broncos signing Jesse Southwell from the Knights, just to make sure that the 2026 NRLW GF will be between the Broncos and the Roosters again.. I know I know its up to the other teams to get better, but....

I dont consider this a great loss Dave, she wasn't ageing well and you could see the writing on the wall when she didn't play, there was some bullshit excuse that her business was not doing so well, and neither was she.

Agreed Justa. I was wondering if they have brought in some bigger women to counteract the biggies in the other teams?

Even without any significant signings, this team will be much better. A few of them will come back a couple of kgs heavier and a few of the 18~19 year-olds are going to be that much better. And Teagan Berry is only about 23 or 24. She will get better yet unless she is impregnated. But unfortunately it looks like they'll be competing for 3rd spot. The BIG Doneys and Rorters will be ahrd to beat at least for next year as well.

The Dragons are pleased to announce that Cook Islands international Lavinia Kitai has agreed to a three-year deal with the club.

Looks like we may have the start of a few big boppers, at least another one needed, but well done to the club.
