POST GAME [Round 15, 2023] Broncos vs Knights

[McHunt]

Another fan who sees one side of football. Billy was huge tonight and is easily our best 9.

Remind us again who else has played 9 this season.

 

[KnToad]

Oh okay apologies and thanks, I'll keep that in mind before I mess up a thread again.

Don't worry about it buddy, we're used to you messing up the threads

 

[Mr Fourex]

Remind us again who else has played 9 this season.

Do you mean the number...or the position?

He said 9 not 69.

 

[Volvo Driver]

By my count 18 players have played 9 or more games this year.

 

[Mr Fourex]

He said 9 not 69.

Nobody, only billy so far. What's your point?

I just find it hard to believe the son of our greatest ever player is so hated by fans like you mcunt.

[Culhwch]

Fans are the classic example of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

The dumber we are the more certain we are.

Remind us again who else has played 9 this season.

 

[Super Freak]

If Best just looked left, it's game over.

I'm not sure what went through the head of Cobbo trying to go for the intercept, but it was the wrong move and it nearly cost us.

Never said one "hateful" thing about him. Ever.

Before the season, I was concerned he might outstay his welcome, based on last year's mediocrity and his father being the selector. Despite his obvious work ethic, I did not consider him NRL standard in the position. That opinion was loudly echoed outside this forum. I didn't own it.

I've changed my mind about that now. His service is far crisper than Turpin's, his kicking game is almost at Jake's level, and his defence is adequate, though not at Jake's level. I'm not enthused about what he can bring with the ball beyond getting rid of it immediately, especially compared to Walsh, Mam and Reynolds, but others seem to be more easily impressed.

I'm not sure whether I'd rate him in the top half of hookers, but he's not the worst, which he was last year. The team is winning with him at hooker, that's the main thing.

Kotoni and Walsh had it covered. It was great work from Kobe to keep moving through out and look after Walsh's inside shoulder through out that entire play.

Oh OK. So there's this thing called the salary cap right, which means you can't have elite level, highly paid individuals in every position.

Of course he was mediocre last year. He went from being a half to being a hooker in one week. What can you reasonably expect? The turn around has been outstanding this year, its his first full year as a starting hooker.

Cobbo was just trying to knock down the ball which would've ended the game

You are comparing him to a known spud in Turpin. That’s pretty hateful.

Yeah by clowns on Twitter .
Then you come back here preaching their gospel .

Also Facebook, that haven of forward thinking individuals.

Not just Twitter. Everywhere human beings gather to talk about the Broncos.

Hey that's our greatest living captain between Bennett leaving and Reynolds arriving you're hating on.

Of course he was mediocre last year.

He was. Sounds like we're on the same page.

Oh OK. So there's this thing called the salary cap right, which means you can't have elite level, highly paid individuals in every position.

You forgot to school me that there was no other alternative. Those two chestnuts bunk together.
