POST GAME [Round 3, 2024] Broncos vs Panthers

[Galah]

**** the nrl with our travel schedule decided to give us an easy 6 games to start the season.


I’m shocked.

In the grand scheme of things, it could have been a lot worse. It’s not that long ago we concede 60. I don’t believe we are in 2016 mode either, the team still looks pretty united. A lot of people here predicted we’d struggle to get our game going in the early part of the season due to our pre season and it’s definitely playing out that way.

Tough few weeks coming up, we definitely need to find some wins

 

[Aldo]

Pathetic.

About as pathetic as your post

At half time I thought it'd be 50+ so I'm very pretty pleased with how they finished it off. Cobbo was so good, doesn't get much tougher than that assignment and he did everything he could.

Impartial draw apparently, surely just a coincidence that we have all the ‘blockbuster’, high rating matchups

Lol it's not a draw. It's a schedule.

 

[Cavalo]

Willison is far superior to Taupau. 2nd rower cover is needed on the bench. Didn't we all say this prior to R1?

I cant think of much Cobbo did in some ways, probably because a lot of it didnt come off, but what i did like about him was he was just constantly turning up, testing them and putting his body on the line. I dont think we could ask any more from him.

Panthers too smart. Broncos had a second rower playing centre when Cobbo moved to fullback and scored most tries there.

Second half broncos move Staggs to that side and they expose the second rower on the other side for two tries.

Smart footy. Too good

Seriously poor reffing. I don't care if people think it is salt. That was a double movement every day of the week except for Panther's games. He tucks his arm into his chest then spreads his arms out after he bounces and it ends up at shoulder height. A movement. He could have left it tucked and maybe scored, but he moved the ball forward. Penalty.

The head clash happens. I see that as bad luck but probably nefarious from Penrith, BUT to have physically a lasting effect on the player due to a head injury on a play that was penalised, THAT should allow for 18th man to come in. Also, they should be allowed to have HIA assessments repeated when a player can't return. Even concussions can take a while to set in after adrenaline is pumping.

The multiple infringements on the line by Penrith including a 6-again just before the Broncos run it into touch (total 4 infringements in a row) clearly shows intent and should be punished. Send a bloke. No excuses here.

I could go on, but I have pizza to eat

How a makeshift fullback can have that many decent edge play options can't be undersold, that stuff takes alot of hours in training to get right, typically the makeshift fullback just becomes the roaming centre doing simple runs.

 

[Matheos]

My positives from the game:

• 2nd half spirit was impressive, under all of that adversity and missing key leaders. Could've packed it in.
• Ezra Mam is a confidence player. His 2nd half was very good and should set him up for the rest of the season
• Cobbo is going to become one of the game's elites in 2024
• Baker will never start a game for this club ever again
• Willison will be in the #17 moving forward

Look forward to giving it back to these pricks in October.

How can you eat at a time like this!

 

[Broncapz]

We HAVE HAVE HAVE to copy how they defend, especially near the try line.
It's really dirty, and they're not afraid to give away 6 agains. They slow the ruck to a crawl.

 

[Culhwch]

This was the tackle Cleary complained it should have been a penalty to Penrith, not us.

Tells a real picture of how the whistle was going.

Think this was the one where Joey said the only players with hands in their faces were Panthers...

 

[Brett Da Man LeMan]

Sailor in for Walsh, good based on trials
Wilson in for haas/baker, was OK as an edge tonight, starting prop may be different
Madden for Reynolds still I guess cuz he is our best option. He needs more kicking variety, but to be fair he didn't really have a chance to attack with his kicks tonight
Cobbo back to left centre and staggs to right
Billy maybe off the bench, smoothy starting?
I don't think it's panic stations yet. I still think we are a good footy side. Mam needs to earn his pay check now imo. I'm excited for him.
Not panic stations yet.

Orrrrrr, you deliberately take out their fb or Center and can target it all night…. Who did tago play against last week? Have a look at how that happened.


They’re actually worse than the storm.
