[edit] Typo?
Is Gorden Tallis actually meant to be spelt Gordon Tallis? Also, perhaps it would be a good idea to put in a Club Information section, like the Sydney Roosters have?
No, that's how Gorden spells his name. Great idea about the club information section. Get cracking!Dr Zen 00:12, 24 Oct 2004 (UTC)
[edit] History
- The history needs some serious fleshing out. It just discusses the first final etc. THeres a massive hisotry (not very long granted) about the Bronocos... their defection to Super League, the turmoil of Powers beer vs XXXX leading to the move to ANZ. The loss of Wally Lewis because of rumoured fighting between him and Wayne....
- The history section is still very bland and very vague. The Broncos have so much history and in this web article such little is written. Would expect to see alot more. [[Bradley1956 11:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)]]
[edit] Tidy up
This article is untidy. Its lengthy and has unnecessary information
Many times is it filled with biased and emotive language as well as informal language. There is a load of information in this article, but with that alot of biased one sided commentary in the writing.
Also I dont see any sourcing to the article in the history section? I would expect something like this addressed. Since I don't have access to Brisbane Broncos sources you have been using I would think it appropriate any uncited, unsourced material be removed. [[Bradley1956 11:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)]]
- I have removed the inappropriate tone tag as the article appears to be fine on this front. If anyone would like it to be reinstated, please list areas that need attention.--dan, dan and dan 20:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
- Can the following statement be expanded/referenced? "with many percieving the Brisbane Broncos as the orchestrators", eg, who are many? -mike —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.63.40.190 (talk) 09:01, 28 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Article Status
I've watched this article take shape over the past month or so and I'm paticularly amazed at the number of editors that contribute to the article. The history section seems quite comprehensive from a neutral point of view and I can see that a lot of people have put in much dedication into the article. But personally I think this article could be improved dramatically with relatively little effort at all. All the basic parts of a featured article are there, but a lot of tidying up needs to be done. Check out the layout of Sydney Roosters and Arsenal FC and have a look what needs to be done to get it to this stage. As I said, what's been done so far is great, but I think tables and statistics need to be reduced in numbers and a few more direct references need to be made if you guys want this to be pushed up to featured status. Where do you guys want this article to head? --mdmanser 11:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- I've moved some stuff around, and added info on the crest, colours, etc from Gallaway's The Brisbane Broncos: The Team To Beat. Stuff that was taken off was put into the Brisbane Broncos records and Brisbane Broncos Stadiums sections - imo its still good info, just it couldve been in a better place.

[edit] 2006 GF?
The 2006 Grand Final was the first final between two non-NSW based teams, not Sydney based. For example, the 1994 GF between St George and Broncos, both of these teams are not based in Sydney.
- St George are, and always have been based in Kogarah, which is a southern suburb of Sydney. --mdmanser 03:51, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
My bad, what about Panthers v Raiders in '91 then? Or is Penrith still technically still part of Sydney? 144.134.73.207 02:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] History Section
Is it worth including a bit of the history, briefly summarising what is said on the history of the broncos page?
[edit] Major Rivalries
Does this section really help make the article better? I would say that really the only major rivalry the Broncos have is with NQ and the Gold Coast (possibly - the Giants/Seagulls/Chargers vs. Broncos games were always great). Steeden 04:19, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Are you kidding me? What about the rivalry with st george in the 90s?
- The dragons one is/was a good one, but I was concentrating more on the value of having the Broncos vs. Wests and other rivalries there. TBH they're not games that the media sits up and pays attention to year after year. Think of all the attention the Gold Coast generated when they wanted to open their season against the Broncos. IMO that showed the rivalry (and respect) the Cowboys and Broncos have for each other. I wouldnt rate the Tigers in the same bracket. Steeden 02:28, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
I really don't think the broncos have a greater rivalry with one club than another. I'm against the inclusion of this section. It would be misleading to people unfamiliar with the broncos and puzzling to people who are.--Jeff79 06:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Colours
I'm a little concerned with the language used in the section particularly the comment about navy blue being used to complement Ergon Energy's sponsorship. It makes the club seem a little mercenary and seems more like a opinion than a fact.
Also, who the heck is Thomas Bradford? (14 January 2007)
[edit] Club Song
If anyone knows the words to the club song I think it would be a valuable addition to this page. Other club's pages include their songs.--Jeff79 23:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Players' Games
This list: [1] is from the official brisbane broncos webpage and shows the number of games each player has played for the club. The figures are different from those in the Brisbane Broncos Players list. Is this because the wiki list isn't including super league or World Club Challenge games, but the broncos.com.au list is? I think Super league games should certainly be included in players' and clubs' game-playing histories.--Jeff79 23:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kits
http://forums.rugbyleague2.com/showthread.php?t=25695&page=10
Are we able to use these kits on wikipedia? Londo06 07:52, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
I have no idea, but it'd be wicked if we could!--Jeff79 04:50, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Famous Fans
I think Peter Sterling's more a rugbly league fan than a broncos fan. I have doubts about his inclusion in this list.--Jeff79 06:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
