Round 22 - Titans vs Broncos

[JayPee]

Thought the touchie said I have a try

Thats what I heard too

 

[Fozz]

How come ?

Always seems to lift against us.

 

[winslow_wong]

Should be a 40+ win here boys

I'd be a shattered man if they choked from here

 

[Harry Sack]

Did one of the touchies claim it was a no try or something?

 

[JayPee]

How about they, I dunno, have the balls to call a dropped ball in general play if they allow play on for that long

Lol and then if he did score like a similar situation early this year with Uate when he dropped it cold we would have everybody whinging about it. Technology is there use it

 

[Wolfie]

I've said plenty of times i think Hunt's best position is hooker.

 

[Donald Garner]

I'm still concerned. The Titans are making us look good. Our defence is good on our line but apart from a couple of good defensive sets on their try line the Titans are making good metres through our middle.

Mark my words. The sharks will carve us up through the middle if we don't tighten that part of our game up. I think we need to compress more in defence. We have speed out wide to cover the shift.

The other thing that really bugs me is our terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible terrible oh and did I say terrible kicking game. It can't even suck because it's non exsistent! Our kicking game is going to lose us a tight game come finals time. I can just feel it!!

Did one of the touchies claim it was a no try or something?

No, disregard. I just replayed it - he called a try. Pfft, loser...

 

[Kimlo]

They have lost 6 out of the last 7 without him. Not sure how long ago

Meh, we didn't lose because he wasn't there, we were in a shit form patch. He came back, and the loss streak continued.

I'd honestly have been happy if he didn't re-sign, but we're stuck with him for 4 years. As long as we didn't pay him anything significant, I guess it'll have to do, he's not a liability or anything, but I just feel we'd be a better, more dangerous team with another dummy half, or at least a genuine 9 to share game time with him, like we had with Granville... Who was getting 10 or 15 minutes a game, no wonder he didn't stick around.

 

[BroncsFan]

Did one of the touchies claim it was a no try or something?

Pretty sure Henry went back and asked him and he said I have a try

 

[Wolfie]

Just seeing that one bombed Titans try, Moga and i think Glenn is was just switched off. Terrible defending. I do think we need to sharpen up a bit. Against better sides than the Titans we would have been in trouble tonight.

 

[Harry Sack]

No, disregard. I just replayed it - he called a try. Pfft, loser...

Then there's no issue obviously. Blind touchie IMO, but Peranaranara did the right thing.

 

[winslow_wong]

Other than massive tackle numbers what else does Macca really offer?

I agree also. Can see what Granville has become when getting big mins.

 

[Kimlo]

I agree also. Can see what Granville has become when getting big mins.

I was fucking furious to lose Granville, I was whinging every week about him getting 10 minute games... Sigh, stupid Griffin.

 

[GCBRONCO]

40/20 opportunities and the only kicking game we would possess once Hunt departs unless Milford or Nikorima step up.

 

[Big Pete]

The Gold Coast Titans are a mystery. They're capable of producing plays that even the Melbourne Storm would be jealous of and then one of their star players will kick on zero tackle and give the opposition a 7 tackle set.

To give Brisbane some credit, they're a resilient side. A lot of other teams would have buckled during that early onset from the Titans but the Broncos frustrated them into submission. They're definitely a top 8 side, but they're clearly lacking in key areas and unless they can somehow improve that, I don't think they will last that long in September.

If they want to dispel that concern, they've got to go on with it in the second half. They can't just switch off and try to defend this lead, they need to think about being the first team to score and to play with some energy.
