Brisbane<\/a> recorded an unflattering piece of history on Saturday night as a stunning late-season capitulation came to a head at Kogarah.<\/p>\n

The 22-12 loss to St George Illawarra<\/a> confirmed the Broncos' place outside the competition top eight, making it three years in a row the club has not played finals.<\/p>\n

It's the first time in club history that has happened.<\/p>\n

It's also the first time since the NRL finals became an eight-team system in 1995 that a side has been in the top four with six games remaining, and missed the playoffs.<\/p>\n

\"Broncos<\/p>\n

The Broncos were fourth after round 19, and finish ninth on the ladder after falling off a cliff.<\/p>\n

Brisbane legend Corey Parker called the team's attack "awful" during the game against the Dragons.<\/p>\n

"They've lost their way here… there is no direction whatsoever," Parker said.<\/p>\n

"The confidence in the Broncos at the moment is at an all-time low. This is what they come up with… Reynolds gets caught going back on the inside."<\/p>\n

No one had high hopes for Brisbane this season, and a finish any higher than seventh would have certainly exceeded expectations for most.<\/p>\n

But the Broncos provided false hope by playing above their own bar for most of the campaign, then collapsing badly when it mattered most.<\/p>\n

\"NRL<\/p>\n

Brisbane coach Kevin Walters was shattered after last week's huge loss to Parramatta.<\/p>\n

He was more composed on Saturday night as he fronted media and reflected on the season as a whole.<\/p>\n

"I'm still taking 13 wins (for the season) as an improvement," he said.<\/p>\n

"I thought we could have made the eight this year. But if I sit back and look at it… 13 wins is certainly more than we had last year, we brought some players through who weren't even in our sights last year.<\/p>\n

"So some good positives around the club and around the team. We just couldn't finish the season off the way we wanted."<\/p>\n
