Episode 77: Mid-Season Autopsy (NRL Round 16)

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.Don’t forget to like, subscribe, comment, and send in your voicemails through the link in our socials.As always, this is not expert analysis.
