Episode 34: No More Mr. Nice Guys

The gloves are off.

After a demoralizing loss to Manly, the Thoroughbreds are done sugar-coating it. Britto, Ringer, and Langers rip the band-aid off and go deep on the Broncos’ worrying form slump, rotation confusion, cultural cracks, and whether this is a coaching problem or a club-wide identity crisis.

From dissecting soft defensive efforts, baffling interchange decisions, and questionable game plans to frustrations with player accountability and leadership, this one pulls no punches. The boys also review key stats, player performances, and look ahead to the Titans clash with heavy concern.

Plus: Cactus Jacks throwbacks, the Brookvale Bruschetta, and the moment Britto declares it’s officially time to panic.

It’s passionate, unfiltered, and very much No More Mr. Nice Guys. It’s everything you expect from the panel: Broncos bias and unfiltered footy fandom - it’s another classic Penalty Broncos week.
