[Round 19, 2021] Panthers vs Broncos

[theshed]

Do we know Kelly is fit for sure?

McHunt said someone at the club confirmed it but I have no idea.

I'd rather have a sandbag than Croft.

I'd rather have an empty jersey than Jamayne. Isaako is shot, just put Coates in. He might not be weapon in the air he should be but at least he doesn't completely turn the game in favour of the opposition.

Then everyone would lose their shit about having Coates in the team.
Pick and stick Kevvie! No don't stick those guys!!!
Why the **** is Coates still in the team!!! **** why didn't you put Coates in instead of isuucko !!!

Can't win really, dammed if he does dammed if he doesn't.

Was the last time we saw mead when he scored a hat trick and then re-signed?

Thanks, Billy. Welcome to the broncos for next year. You and your dad must be wrapped.

Signed the Friday after we played the Storm (week after the game you’re talking about), then played in the Dragons game the next week and that’s it

Meh , so so.

**** Isucko off for Mead and Kelly in for Croft and I'm happy. Surprised to see Bullemore named outside the 17 though.

 

[theshed]

Has anyone pointed out that Luai is back?

 

[Broncapz]

only changes i'd make would be Kelly for Croft ... and Cobbo for isaako

...and ANYBODY for Glenn.

 

[BroncosFever]

Pretty hard to say anything positive about Croft being in the team, defensively he's a bit all over the place and in attack he doesn't do a whole lot there either

 

[Huge]

That’s a myth. Ben Hunt is a far better defender than Croft. Gamble is a better defender than Croft.

Just on the last game alone.
Gamble: 20 tackles 5 misses
Croft: 18 tackles 1 misses
Hunt: 13 tackles 4 misses

That's just on the last games for the Broncos and Saints.

The previous round?

Hunt: 29 tackles 7 misses
Gamble: 15 tackles 2 misses
Croft: 21 tackles 6 misses.

In the two most recent games.
Hunt 42 tackles 11 missed
Gamble 35 tackles 7 missed
Croft 39 tackles 7 missed.

Okay, small sample size but there's no way those stats support the claim that Hunt is a FAR BETTER DEFENDER nor that Gamble is any better either. I'm sorry if the facts and stats don't support your view.

That would be a great argument if games were just AI generated stats instead of a thing that exists in the real world where Croft had one of the worst defensive games I’ve seen in years.

That’s ok you can use statistics to suit any argument

only a blind person couldn’t see that Croft’s six mistakes cost the game

 

[Locky888]

Broncos have zero chance. The silver lining to an inevitable smashing by the Panthers is a forced change needed in the spine from round 20.
Kelly to replace Croft, Walters replaces Turpin, Coates replaces Isaako. Switch Farnworth and Niu's position.

 

[Huge]

He was our worst last year, he defended much better this year but the last game was as bad as what he was doing last year.

To say he is far superior to any other half is just plan wrong.

Croft 2021 89.7% tackle efficiency
Kelly..............89.2% ( only 3 games so...)
Gamble .....86.8%
Hunt..............82.6%
Milford.........79.8%

Croft 2020 90.5%
Croft 2019 89.5 %

He might not be superior but his stats say he is.

One miss. One of the worst defensive games you've seen in years!!!

What, have you only seen two games since 2015?

One miss. Pushed off the ball while trying to play the ball.
