It didn’t even take the full match for the criticism to begin, with fans bemoaning the punishment inflicted on Brisbane in the first stanza.

One lamented: “This is just awful football. Players scoring untouched, dumb penalties, dumb errors, dumb challenges. Embarrassing!”

Another labelled the performance ‘abject’ and ‘soulless’. They questioned: “How much more humiliation can the #Broncos endure? An abject 48-0 loss to the rampant #Tigers at Leichhardt in a yet another soulless performance putting the heat squarely on coach Anthony Seibold.

“Nine tries against a side with no pride, attitude or heart.”
