The bye week is over, the losing streak is still sitting at six, and it is officially time for a Mid-Season Autopsy.

In Episode 77, Britto, Ringer and Langers sit down to work through where the Brisbane Broncos’ 2026 season has gone wrong so far. With no episode after the Dragons game and a rough month of footy behind us, the lads take the scalpel to the season so far, breaking down the overall numbers, the worrying trends, the key injuries, the lack of possession, the errors, the penalties, and the effort areas that have left the Broncos sitting well below expectations.

The lads recap the good wins, the warning sign games, and the collapse games across the first 14 rounds, before asking the hard questions: where has it actually gone wrong, who has gone backwards, who can still hold their head high, what does Madge need to fix first, and can the season still be saved?

Comment below and let us know where you think the Broncos’ season has gone wrong, what Madge needs to fix first, and whether this season can still be rescued.

The wheels might not be completely off... but they're definitely wobbling. 😬

After another heartbreaking loss, the boys jump behind the microphones to unpack Brisbane's 28-23 defeat to the Gold Coast Titans at Suncorp Stadium.

What started as the perfect response to the Dragons disaster quickly turned into another frustrating night for Broncos fans, with individual brilliance, missed opportunities, controversial moments, and one decision late in the game that has the entire fanbase talking.

This week we discuss:

🤔 Ezra Mam's Late-Game Decision

🐎 Grant Anderson's Impact

💪 Brendan Piakura & Xavier Willison Stepping Up

🐰 Round 15 Preview – Broncos vs Rabbitohs

We also hear from Thoroughbred Stu, who delivers one of the all-time great voicemail sprays following the final siren.

With five straight losses, questions are starting to be asked around the Broncos' season. Is this just a rough patch, or is there genuine cause for concern?

Episode 75: 295…0 Days (NRL Round 13)

The Broncos have officially done it… we reset the Dragons win counter back to ZERO. 💀

Episode 75 sees Britto, Ringer, and Langers jump straight into the studio after one of the most frustrating losses of the season as Brisbane fall 26-30to the Dragons at Suncorp Stadium — handing St George Illawarra their first win in 296 days.

The boys break down:

• The Broncos’ brutal completion rate and defensive lapses
• Payne Haas somehow trying to carry the entire club on his back
• Xavier Willison’s monster effort
• Whether the Broncos are building bad habits
• Origin fallout and the never-ending send-off debate
• Why Queensland fans are still filthy
• Round 13 stats review
• The Gronk segment
• Round 14 preview against the Titans

There’s frustration, plenty of banter, raw post-game emotion, and the usual absolutely diabolical carry on from the Thoroughbreds.

We break down:

• The brutal opening 20 minutes
• The controversial officiating decisions
• Patrick Carrigan’s sin bin

The Broncos got absolutely abused at Brookvale… and unfortunately so did the Thoroughbreds having to sit through it.

This week on Penalty Broncos, Britto, Langers and Ringer break down the brutal 32-4 loss to the Manly Sea Eagles at Four Pines Park. From the horror completion rates, missed tackles and endless errors, to the silver linings hidden inside one of the roughest performances of the season — the lads unpack it all.

We cover:

• The disastrous Round 10 performance against Manly
• Whether fatigue and injuries are finally catching up with the Broncos
• The controversial calls and brutal stats from Brookvale
• The Gronk’s emotional response to the Cowboys Golden Point loss
• Injury concerns heading into Magic Round

There’s also:

• Mother’s Day chaos
• Flower delivery scams
• And enough copium to power Brisbane for another week

Despite the result, the Thoroughbreds march on into Magic Round hoping the Broncos can regroup and bounce back against the Warriors in front of a packed Cauldron.

Episode 72: Penalty Roosters (NRL Round 9 Review)

After heading down to Allianz Stadium, the Broncos go down 38–24 to the Roosters in a game that had everything, momentum swings, controversy, and one of the wildest second-half fightbacks you’ll see this season.

We’re calling it what it felt like… Penalty Roosters.

From a brutal first half where we couldn’t get our hands on the ball, to piling on 24 points in 15 minutes and genuinely threatening to steal it, this one had us riding every emotion possible.

In this episode:

🟤 Full breakdown of the Broncos vs Roosters clash

🧠 Honest chat around the officiating (and yeah… we go there)

🔥 The second-half surge that had us BELIEVING

💪 Standout performances from Reece Walsh, Patrick Carrigan & Xavier Willison

📉 Key turning points that killed the comeback

🎤 Thoroughbred voicemail reactions (you guys brought the heat)

👀 Early look ahead to the clash with Manly Sea Eagles

Despite the loss, there’s a lot to like about this team. Undermanned, under pressure — and still throwing punches.

If that second-half shows us anything… it’s that this side is far from done.

Episode 71: Squad Goals (NRL Round 8)

The Broncos just made a serious statement… and did it with half a squad missing.

In this episode, we break down one of the grittiest wins of the season — a 32-12 dismantling of the Bulldogs built on effort, discipline, and pure squad depth. From Shibasaki’s resurgence to Big X standing on business, this one had everything 🔥

In this episode:

• Full match recap: Broncos vs Bulldogs

• Defensive masterclass and what it says about Madge’s system

• Standout performances across a depleted lineup

• Hot Shot Player of the Game breakdown

• Tactical insights (completion rates, pressure, and field control)

• Team depth chat — are we built for Origin period?

• Early thoughts heading into Round 9 vs the Roosters

This was more than just a win — this was Squad Goals in action.

If you’re a Broncos fan, you’ll love this one. If you’re not… you probably won’t 😏

🔥 Key moments that swung the game

🧠 The grit, depth and “next man up” mentality

📉 Ongoing concerns (and a few honest truths)
