message: 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)

message: *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)

message: 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)

thread_title: Tidy up

message: 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)

message: This list:  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?

message: Further to my comments above under the heading Re-Assessed I provide the following.
This article is quite well put together.  It is reasonably close to a GA but at this stage is only a high B.  
I suggest as a minimum adjustments to the following before a further re-assessment according to the GA criteria.  Other editors may have more suggestions.  Please note my suggestions at times whilst obvious perhaps to Rugby League followers or Australians, attempts to take into account the fact that Wikipedia is an international online encyclopedia:
# The lead sentence refers to the Modern Era – what is this, where is it defined (is there a need for an inline specific reference)?   I changed it to history of the game, because that what the link shows, the modern era is the National Rugby League (1998-2007) SpecialWindler 06:59, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: A note to editors - As I am trying to assess this article for a GA grade I have noted that the article comments in relation to Super League that ... many perceiving the Brisbane Broncos as the orchestrator's,[3] however the reference used does not say that the Broncos Orchestrated - that is composed, arranged or combined to get Super League up and running but rather that when the Super League war arrived in 1995 [they] were right to the fore of it.

message: Further to the above assessment - the article relates the fact that Barry Maranta and Paul "Porky" Morgan won the Brisbane licence.  As these two people are an integral part of the Broncos I have checked to see if either have their own wiki articles (many less important and less notable sports people do have).  At the moment a search for Barry Maranta reveals a redirect back to the Broncos page and there are no hits for Paul "Porky" Morgan at all.  It would seem to me that either an article is created for both these ex-players or a redirect for Paul "Porky" Morgan also occurs?  Any thoughts by other editors?--VS talk 11:44, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

message: People should stop deleting it. It is relevant. The newspapers of the day covered it at the time, so they considered it significant.
Besides, the Broncos should not worry too much because they have no new controversial incidents in 2007. So the Broncos are doing well compared to some other clubs. 
Also, it is the only list that shows what Broncos players were involved in incidents.
210.84.33.138 22:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, we don't put details of everything that national newspapers have ever reported about every Brisbane Broncos player in this article. That would be absurd, so your argument is pretty flimsy. Secondly, the information has been typed out already in players' pages and the rugby league incidents page. It does not need to be typed out a 3rd time. I am removing it again as it is not relevant in an encyclopedic context to the Brisbane Broncos club as a whole, which this article is about.--Jeff79 22:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A great deal of the League coverage in the media these days is about player indiscretions and incidents. There is obviously a public interest in the subject. I feel the real reason you are deleting it is to protect the reputations of the players involved. Obviously, the public want to read about these incidents (which is why the newspapers keep covering it). I guess that you don't like that kind of coverage, but the wikipedia (and in fact, any encyclopaedia) is not solely to show just glory of players. It should show both the positive, the negative, and especially the controversial. Also, you'll find that this controversy section is in point form, and often much briefer than the accounts that are found in the players' pages.Besides, repeatedly deleting wiki content is against the wiki rules, and is forbidden. 210.84.33.138 22:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the Brisbane Broncos football club. Players have their own pages.  Rugby league incidents even has its own page.  Why do you want this content to appear verbatim in several articles on wikipedia?  I think it's quite clear that you have some kind of agenda for raising awareness of player indescretions. I'm just trying to keep this article looking professional.  It's also a shame that you're so misguided you think that because newspapers print it, therefore people want to read it.  That's not a basis for inclusion in any encyclopedia. This isn't a news site, it's an encycopedia. I welcome the input of an admin on this issue.  Look at the headings on this page: History, Colours, Players.  These are important themes for a football club and deserve their own sections. You think the isolated controversies involving individual players throughout the past is equally deserving of its own section? If you must type it out a 3rd time, perhaps the Brisbane Broncos History page would be better.--Jeff79 23:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  'Jeff79' said: "perhaps the Brisbane Broncos History page would be better" - I guess that would be a way to bury the information. That would bury negative or controversial issues deep down enough so that few would find it, while leaving the front page clean of any hint of controversy. But what you end up with (and what it is now) is a clone of the football club's website, with only glory comment and scores. Even with a 'Controversy' section added, the disputed page is still 95% glory and 5% controversy. You could set up a separate personal fan website for the glory of players. 'Jeff79' also said: "It's also a shame that you're so misguided" - It would have been better keep this discussion serious, without the personal comments.210.84.33.138 00:01, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: It's a matter of fairness and balance. The number of fans who put their comments on this discussion doesn't reflect one way or another on whether the article is fair & balanced or not. The page should cater both for people who are members of the club, and for those who have nothing to do with the club. People come to Wikipedia to get both sides of any issue (which other fan sites don't provide). The page should allude to all issues, even if those issues are in more detail elsewhere in Wikipedia 210.84.33.138 01:15, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm all for fairness and balance. That's why I have no problem with the inclusion of those issues in wikipedia articles that deal with past incidents involving Broncos players.  As a matter of fact I created Joe Kilroy's page and I did not neglect to mention his conviction on drugs charges in 1989. I created Julian O'Neill's page too (all the controversy you could ever want). I also inserted the bit about Darren Lockyer's 2004 Johnny Raper joke in his article long before you came along. So much for my efforts to only glorify players and to 'bury' controversial information about them.  Because they are isolated issues that concern individual players that happened in the past.  The issues for this article are Brisbane Broncos issues.  As I have said repeatedly already, I am all for the information appearing on wikipedia in the right place (even more than once if you insist).  But this just isn't it.  Even Super League doesn't have its own section heading! The sacking (the only part of your proposed content that actually involves the Broncos club) of relatively junior players Seymour and Costigan does not warrant its own section heading on the Brisbane Broncos page, for the same reason that similar 'controversy' sections don't appear in AFL, NHL, NFL, NBA, Super 14, English Premier League or any other sporting competion's clubs' pages.--Jeff79 04:27, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Sorry that was already said, but the Broncos contreversy doesn't deserve it's own section because no Broncos contreversy, beside the Super League War, is notable enough to mention, which can be mentioned in History page.  Its not as if any of those contreversys were 37 points off their ladder for salary cap breaches like the Bulldogs. SpecialWindler 08:16, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

text: Most of the points of controversy which I have noticed on each of the club pages refer to individual incidents, not the club as a whole. The only notable "incidents" relating to clubs in rugby league that I can think of are salary cap breaches. These do not constitute a section of their own either - rather, integrate them under history. --mdmanser 04:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Nowhere in this article is Red Hill mentioned.  I'm not 100% certain on the details of what the signifance in its entirety is to the Broncos, but I'm pretty sure it's their training ground and perhaps more.  I think it should be mentioned in the article as sometimes the club is referred to as 'Red Hill' in the media.--Jeff79 01:43, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yep, Red Hill is the location of the Gilbert Park - the location of their training ground, Leagues club and general club management. So it would play a role in the Broncos, but where it would it go in the article? Maybe under homegrounds? Steeden 05:05, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Added a mention on the Red Hill article after first discussing it there. Now, where to put it in this article. Maybe briefly in the introduction?--Jeff79 22:11, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

text:  Yeah that'd probably work. Maybe have a "Based at Red Hill in Brisbane's inner-north, the Broncos..... (etc)" Although that does sound like they play out of Red Hill. Theres probably a better way to word it. On the topic of the introduction, I think "The club was founded in 1988 and, together with the Gold Coast-Tweed Giants, was one of the first clubs from the state of Queensland to participate in the New South Wales Rugby League competition." could be reworded, mainly because the Giants were entirely based at Tweed Heads, so the Brisbane Broncos were technically the first club from Queensland to play in the Winfield Cup. Actually now that I think about it, they may actually be the first team from outside of NSW to play in the competition because (I think) in 1988 Canberra were still based at Queanbeyan (sp). Ill do some research on the matter. Steeden 11:08, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: 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)
replies: text: I'm not a Brisbane fan, so I can't say for certain who their biggest rivals are, but I'll gladly help expand any section which does name who the rival teams are. I'm guessing the Gold Coast and North Queensland teams are the bigger rivals, but could someone please open a new section just to give a start? The more text in the article, the more inclined FAC reviewers will be inclined to promote the article. Sure, the team is relatively new but surely such a section could be created. --mdmanser 11:30, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Major Rivalries

message: *North Queensland Cowboys - At every start of the season, since the Cowboys knocked out the Broncos in the 2004 finals, these two teams have clashed in the oepning round at Suncorp Stadium. Matches at both this ground and Dairy Farmers Stadium always attract large crowds. The Cowboys have won the last three contests, including the 23-16 season opener at Suncorp Stadium in round 1, 2007.
*Melbourne Storm - Brisbane and Melbourne made NRL history by becoming the first non-NSW teams to fight out a decider in Sydney. In front of a sold out crowd, the Brisbane Broncos stormed to their sixth premiership, winning 15-8. However in a recent trial they were thumped 46-0 at Princes Park, the Storm's training ground and former home of the Carlton Football Club.
*Gold Coast Titans - rugby league's newest team have already created a HUGE rivalry with the Broncos, with a round five match scheduled for Friday, 13th April, 2007, at Suncorp Stadium (NB: This is a Titans home game). These teams are the closest to each other outside New South Wales.
*St George Illawarra Dragons - Matches between Brisbane and St George Illawarra always attract large crowds. The Dragons have a strong supporter base in Brisbane ever since its' inception in 1999. The Dragons have won the last four contests, including the 20-4 final at Suncorp Stadium in 2006 which proved to be the turning point in Brisbane's charge to the premiership.
*Sydney Roosters - Since 2001 these two teams have played on Good Friday. All matches are played at Aussie Stadium and is usually Channel Nine's first pick from whatever round it lands in. The Broncos have claimed honours all but twice (in 2001 and 2003) since this started in 2001. In round 26, 2000, with the minor premiership secure, they were thrashed 28-0, but won the premiership against the same opposition four weeks later. This year's only clash may determine who wins the Test fullback position out of Karmichael Hunt and Anthony Minichiello, who had his Test jumper taken by Hunt after a horrific season. Ironically, Minichiello's last match was also against the Broncos.
*Wests Tigers - In 2005 the Tigers entertained the rugby league world with players such as Brett Hodgson, Benji Marshall and Scott Prince shining. In the finals series, they knocked the Broncos out of season 2005 with a 34-6 win. However in their round 21, 2006 match-up at Suncorp Stadium, the Tigers caused a 20-6 upset without Hodgson, Marshall, Liam Fulton, Paul Whatuira and Bryce Gibbs, who all sat out the rest of that season with long term injuries.
As I've already said, 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. I know it was suggested by an editor in the FA review, but I doubt that that person is familiar with the subject matter. Creating a major rivalries section just for the sake of having one does not enrich this page as an information source on the Brisbane Broncos club. If more text needs to be added to this article I suggest more relevant topics like Red Hill, Wayne Bennett, the club's song, etc. that I've started discussions about on this page already.--Jeff79 20:13, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Often the problem when adding info to this article. We had the same dilemma with Red Hill (as discussed above). I added mention of that recently in the introduction because the article needed it. Again with the Baby Broncos: where to mention it? They're a feature of the club that's ongoing, but the history section could be a place to put a mention. Not sure when people started talking about them. I think it was a match in the NRL era that they won aganist the Tigers. Not sure why that's when people started taking notice though. Origin has always taken most of the players away, so there would have been Baby Broncos teams before that. Under the Notable Players section there's mention of the Broncos' high rate of representative absence, which is directly related to the Baby Broncos and might be an appropriate spot to mention them. I don't really know where to mention them though. Tough one.--Jeff79 23:13, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

It has a name. Anyone know any details worth putting into the article?--Jeff79 (talk) 12:32, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand the horse's name is Buck.--Jeff79 (talk) 02:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think its worthy to put in the article, in comparison to some things that are. Though if you'd like to help me, I propose a "Club culture" section. In that we could discuss, the Red Hill factor etc...  The Windler  talk  03:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bronco 

message: For a number of years now the Broncos have involved the Australian Army in their pre-season training routine. Is it every year? Anyone have any citeable details about this? Might be worth a mention.--Jeff79 (talk) 10:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boot Camp 

message: I plan to revamp this article by dramatically expanding this article to have it up to FA status by the NRL grand final. Just to help me:
Planned sections
*Corporate
**The Brisbane Broncos as a franchise
***Their buying of the London Broncos
***The only NRL club on stock exchange.
*Club structure
**Infrustructure
***Where they train,
**Training
***Regular training.
Any help would be appreciated.  The Windler  talk  11:54, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You're gonna struggle to fill these enough as individual sections. They're good ideas for content, but they simply will not be long enough to constitute sections of thir own. It really is ok to have a few paragraphs of text in one section, don't think it's not. This excessive use of headings in rugby league articles is just making it look like the people who work on them want to have a lot of headings.--Jeff79 (talk) 14:03, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The will only be the addition of two headings ("Corporate" and "Club structure") the info above that are underneath these arne't going to be sub headings, just whats going to be in the above section.  The Windler  talk  20:21, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Sentence 5 in the first paragraph reads: "The Broncos have never been lower than 12th place on the NRL ladder, making them the only team to have not been bottom placed in their history."
The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have also never been bottom placed in their history - currently 70 years.
Additionally, the New Zealand Warriors (joined 1995) have also never been placed at the bottom.
The sentence needs to be amended to become factually accurate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.75.165.165 (talk) 11:35, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Earlier references to the creation of the Commercial arm of the newly-established Brisbane Broncos RL Franchise - namely The Thoroughbreds- mistakenly had been attributed to Paul (Porky) Morgan.
In fact, bringing together this group of high-powered Brisbane business identities was the brainchild of the Founding Chairman of the Broncos franchise, Barry Maranta.
The Broncos franchise was formed in 1987 and the first competition games commenced in the following year. It was in 1988 that Maranta created The Thoroughbreds with his close colleague and nationally-known businessman, Ron McConnell as inaugural Chairman.
Indeed, the twenty (20) selected high-profiled businessmen to link up with the Brisbane Broncos were chosen by Ron and Barry.
The Thoroughbreds enjoyed a hugely unique relationship with the playing, coaching and front-office staff under McConnell’s tutelage.
However, when Maranta elected to stand down as Chairman for the 1992 season and Paul Morgan took over, relations between him and the Thoroughbreds deteriorated noticeably. In fact, McConnell stepped away from his six-years at the helm of The Thoroughbreds and other members followed suit.
When News Ltd purchased the highly successful Brisbane Broncos franchise in 1997 and removed Morgan from the Chairmanship, The Thoroughbreds was later revived. Fair to report that this concept continues to this day with a different set of well-established businessmen.
