Yes, the Broncos were undermanned. Yes, the Roosters are the reigning premiers. But few could have foreseen a result of this magnitude. Ten tries to nothing tells part of the story, but there isn’t a chapter that speaks well of the Broncos. Sixty-four percent possession to the visitors and 39 completed sets to 20 are other takeouts that highlight the Roosters’ supremacy.

Just one spot on the ladder separated these teams before the game but now one team is heading north and the other south. This was the Broncos’ biggest defeat, the first time they’ve been held scoreless at Suncorp Stadium and, just for good measure, the first time in NRL history we’ve seen a 59–0 scoreline. It was just one of those nights. And to think The Chooks did all this without the game’s best player, James Tedesco. Scary.

Thanks for your company. Let’s do it all again tomorrow when the Storm host the Rabbitohs. There was a moment in the later rounds of the 2006 season when the Broncos found themselves in a surprisingly big hole.

Up against the Storm in front of 40,000+ at Suncorp, they slumped to their fifth loss in a row. Justin Hodges had just been shifted to fullback and Shaun Berrigan to hooker. Things just didn’t look quite right.

Brisbane, with five titles in its first 13 seasons, was synonymous with success. It had become the NRL’s most feared franchise, yet despite a five-year title drought and a five-game losing streak, there was a sense that afternoon in Red Hill that things were about to turn around.

When we were blanked 58–0 by the Eels in week one of the finals last year, we blamed the infamous pokies scandal. There was a review, it would never happen again.

When the Eels burst from the COVID-19 lockdown to punch the Broncos in the face 34–6 last week, we blamed injuries and suspension. It’s OK, we thought. Those first two rounds were impressive, 2–1 is fine. There’s plenty of time to recover.

But when the Roosters put on 59–0 at Suncorp last night, we have nothing to blame that makes any sense of it. Injuries to key players, stars out suspended or even a slap on More Chilli can’t explain what the hell went on for 80 minutes in Brisbane’s once-impenetrable fortress.

There’s something deeper, more systemic going on that reaches well beyond a group of young and inexperienced players; beyond an overmatched coach; beyond a veteran superstar of yore who can no longer keep up with the game; beyond a sizzling, slick Roosters side.

The records didn’t stop there as the Roosters snapped a six-game losing run at the venue with easily their biggest win over Brisbane, eclipsing their previous best of 36–4 in round four 2019.

I don’t know if that’s what they’re teaching in defence out there, but it was horrendous.

“The Broncos tonight were diabolical, that was a training gallop for the Roosters. It was embarrassing for the club and the city; the Broncos fans will not be happy…pathetic is what I’m saying.”

The early signs didn’t look good for the Roosters with Tedesco left in Sydney after waking up with flu-like symptoms. He was considered no chance of passing the league’s bio-security protocols which states a player with a temperature above 37.2 degrees can’t enter the venue — rules that almost caught out another three Roosters.

There was almost more drama when halfback Kyle Flanagan, centre Joey Manu and veteran Brett Morris failed their first temperature check upon arrival at the venue before being cleared to play. Brisbane no doubt wished they hadn’t.

Brett Morris comfortably filled the shoes left by Tedesco at fullback, defying his 33 years to set up three tries and combine with his brother Josh to help the Roosters run amok from the outset.

And it seems the Broncos will need all the help they can get before next Thursday’s clash with Manly at Central Coast. In another concern for Seibold, prop Matt Lodge may come under scrutiny for a 32nd minute high shot on Lindsay Collins. Not everything went to script for the Roosters with lock Victor Radley coming off in the 74th minute with a suspected elbow injury.
