The NRLW is back — and so are the Thoroughbreds. In our first official NRLW Review podcast of 2025, Britto and Jack fire up the mics for a live recall of the Round 1 win over the Wests Tigers and a preview of the Round 2 clash against the Gold Coast Titans.

The girls kicked off the season with a dominant second-half performance, running out 28–4 winners after grinding through a tight first 40 minutes.
Upton, Brill, Lenarduzzi — the big names stood up, and the forward pack laid the platform.
We dive deep into the stats, match moments, positional changes, and future selection headaches.
⚔️ Plus: a look ahead to a dangerous Titans side stacked with talent, key player matchups, and a genuine test on the Gold Coast.
And of course, plenty of banter, betting regrets, shoutouts to our favourites, and an ongoing campaign for NRLW SuperCoach.

Whether you're here for the insight or the chaos — this one is in true Penalty Broncos style.

The Bulldogs came out barking — but the Broncos bit back harder.

In this episode, the Thoroughbreds dive into the emotional and on-field highs and lows of Brisbane’s comeback win over the Bulldogs. From a flat first half to a fired-up second, the boys reflect on a gritty performance, key plays, and the steady influence of Billy Walters through the middle.

There’s a heartfelt moment as the crew acknowledges the loss of Cameron Munster’s father and the impact it has had on the footy community. Then it’s straight into the game review — the stats, the shifts, the refereeing calls, and the defensive grit that turned the match around.

We also look ahead to Origin, injury concerns, and how this Broncos side is evolving with resilience and raw belief. Add in some quality banter, fan shoutouts, and community vibes — and it’s another week in the life of a Broncos tragic.

00:00 - Introduction and Initial Banter

The Broncos are again in the winner’s circle with a strong 26 - 12 win over the Warriors — and the Lads are here to break it all down.

In this episode, we analyse every angle of the match: a dominant first-half performance, standout efforts from Staggs and Shibasaki, and the defensive grit that kept the Warriors at bay. We dive into the tactical shifts, missed opportunities, and the influence of referee Adam G., whose no-fuss style had fans cheering for once.

Beyond the scoreboard, we unpack Origin teams, and the ripple effects the selections will have on the big clash with the Bulldogs — plus, a deeper conversation about team culture, and the Broncos’ trajectory for the season.

Packed with Broncos bias, QLD swagger, and just the right amount of whinge — it’s another classic Penalty Broncos week.

Down 22–6 and looking dead in the water — the Thoroughbreds were bracing for a long, painful Sunday. But then… something clicked.

In this week’s episode, Britto and Ringer break down the wild comeback win over the Sharks in front of 39,000 at Suncorp. We unpack a horror first half, a brain snap from the Sharks before halftime, and a second half where the Broncos finally remembered who they are — complete with Reese magic, Staggs domination, long dropouts, and some proper grit from the bench.

We talk about effort, culture, composure, and how the boys turned panic into purpose. Plus: Nico’s Academy Award nominations, field goal fails, and some (surprisingly normal) praise for Shibasaki.

Packed with Broncos bias, second-half swagger, and just the right amount of whinge — it’s another classic Penalty Broncos week.

00:00 - Introduction and Initial Banter

It’s the bye week, but the Penalty Broncos boys are still clocking on. With no Broncos footy to wrap around, Britto, Ringer, and Langers dive headfirst into the bigger issues swirling around the game.

From the NRL’s outdated copyright crackdown on content creators (shoutout to Hectic Fred) to the inconsistencies in try rulings like Staggs vs Wong.

Then it's Origin chaos: selection stunners, bench puzzles, and Billy Slater’s stormy strategy. The team debates if it's time for a “Magic Month” mid-season rep window — Origin, internationals, NRLW, and under-19s all in one monster block of footy.

Oh, and yes, we also solve the game’s major structural problems — again. PVL, we’re ready for the call.

It’s passionate, unfiltered, and very much everything you expect from the panel: Broncos bias and unfiltered footy fandom - it’s another classic Penalty Broncos week.

The Broncos are back in black — and back in the winner’s circle. In this week’s episode, Britto and Ringer break down the dominant 44–14 win over the Titans, fueled by one of the best promotional jerseys the NRL has ever seen. But don’t let the scoreline fool you — this win raised as many questions as it did celebrations.

We cover everything from the resurgence of Kotoni Staggs, the rise of Jordan Karapani, and controlled aggression from Piakura, to where the hell Selwyn Cobbo’s head is at. Plus: Haas brothers speculation, Walters’ rogue brilliance, Reyno's revival, and a big chat on NRL culture and effort areas.

With origin selections looming, fan expectations rising, and some culture-setting performances on display — this one goes deep.

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.
