POST GAME [Round 3, 2024] Broncos vs Panthers

[Nerd]

Well that wasn't fun to watch. Penrith played well but yet again got a few favours from Sutton. I can now see why the Rorters let Baker go. Maybe he will improve as the season goes on but at this stage he certainly isn't a starter and is probably good for 10-15 minutes a game or injury cover.

Eisenhuth at the end of the game flattened Maam after a kick with his shoulder. If that was a Broncos forward you know he would be cited and would miss at least a game. Same with Walsh, it was a head clash but he was taken out with an action that ended up on report. If Staggs did that to Cleary it would have been at least 10 in the bin followed by a suspension.

Willison looked good and has to start next week in place of Baker. Hetherington looked way better than the horror show he turned in last week. Madded was steady but his kicks at the end of sets were Milford like being 10-20 m to short all night.

Walters had a night to forget and probably only got the game time he did thanks to Walsh's injury. Piakura looked good and Riki bombed a try at the end but him filling in at centre was a big effort on his part.

What killed us at the start was unforced error followed by a try. Rinse and repeat for the next two tries. Might be time to give Mozer some game time in place of Smoothy as we need a competent dummy half.

Had the sound down quite a bit as Ennis and Voss had their dicks out whenever Penrith scored but were very subdued after the Broncos 2 tries. Shit biased commentators and surely Fox can do better than these morons.

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

Can we start turning Oates in to a back rower now? He’s not getting a game at wing

 

[Galah]

Now I see why the epl brought in the the head clash rule.

May never once tried to tackle Reece he was always high, that should be harshly delt with or this be be the new play.

I know people want Willison starting, but we really shouldnt. We need the impact from the bench from him. I think you take that away if you start him.

 

[Cavalo]

I don't really understand why we couldn't activate our 18th man. Injury from a reported offence. Am I missing something?

I want him off the bench but actually in the team. He’s a gun.

 

[Mustafur]

Willison imo proved he should have been playing from round 1.

Sure Baker has more experience, but Broncos youth players are gold standard.

The English players are suing the RFL because of the amount of head injuries sustained and are claiming neglect from them. Maybe the NRL players need to take a similar action to cut this shit out of our game.

Been thinking this the whole time

 

[Brocko]

Marty should be out of the team now, Kev won't have a choice.

Absolute fucking stupidity to raise knees again.

He needs to go but that likely spares Baker as well

 

[Waynesaurus]

I really haven't liked what I've seen so far this year in the first 3 rounds, I fear it could be a tough year.

Vegas has been a major distraction and the players just don't seem to be even remotely close to where they need to be to compete at their best............ we are on the back foot and trying to play catch up already.

This tackle on Walsh is so obvious, if both players have their head down then yeah is grey but this was not, he never even remotely made an attempt at a tackle. I was actually shocked he wasn’t in the bin. Once again the nrl not picking up what the team that gets away with everything is doing.

Storm 2.0 but 10x worse

 

[Sproj]

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.

We and most other teams can't because we would, rightly, actually get a player binned.

 

[Foordy]

How can you eat at a time like this!

absolutely ... I wouldn't want anything to get in the way of my scotch

 

[Aldo]

Some of those 6 against against us.....Sheesh.

 

[Santa]

Man I'm gonna be pissed off the whole weekend now. Hopefully it's nothing serious for Walsh.

 

[BroncsFan]

He didn't fail his HIA, but it wouldn't have mattered, because the player causing the HIA needs to binned or sent off for that to happen... same as what happened to Oates last year when Drinkwater collected him

 

[Manofoneway]

Season not over, 50 wasn’t put on us.

But I tell you what, Kev better get a little more serious….

What is kevy to do when a quarter of his salary cap is on the sidelines?
