POST GAME [Round 9, 2022] Rabbitohs vs Broncos

[Huge]

so two things ...

First, who took the bookies to the cleaners tonight

second, how about that Souths by 13+ tip Joey

Well, I certainly believed in the Broncos and backed them with good money.

 

[Jason Simmons]

Niu looks bigger.

Not bigger, closer…

 

[ChewThePhatt]

Anyone else give him the good old "GO SON!!!!" on the way to the line? hahaha

It was a very loud "GO YOU GOOD THING!!!" From me

 

[Spoon]

Here's a theory I have. COVID

Pretty much the entire team had covid in the late preseason or early season. Now everyone knows it takes a while to get back to full fitness after covid. Is this what we are seeing now with our players energy?

 

[Strop]

There may have been a light bulb moment from Flegler in that game that just may have him being a more effective smarter unit going forward. A South’s player was tackled on the ground and held and Flegs went to flop on him as the second man, but you could see him clearly think ”don’t do it” and pull out of it.

 

[Sproj]

You can't tell me Demetriou isn't bitter. Not one word of credit to the Broncos, it was totally because they bombed 18 points (they lost by 20 don't forget).

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Watched the match highlights and I think that Souths 2nd try shouldn’t have been awarded as one of the South’s players ran directly into Herbie, denying him a chance to set a defensive line.
You know we’re playing better when the N(SW)RL refs have to invent new ways to screw with us.

 

[Kimlo]

When's the last time we won 3 in a row?

Someone must know. It feels like forever.

A good team performance
Side is starting to come together now and not rely on just one player anymore
The Kev is under major pressure as coach camp has been seriously shut up the past fortnight
The more games that spine plays together the more better we will get

 

[LittleDavey]

I particularly loved how Souths were blatantly taking our markers out of play throughout. Is that legal?

YEH BABY!!!!

You'd have to ask the ref, he was making almost everything up once again.

 

[Marty Deutschmann]

Pack and bench were great tonight. Just kept turning up. Our edges in defence are still a bit of a worry but to keep the Rabbits to 12 is a fucking good effort.

On another note, I don't think I've seen more forward passes in a game in my life. Souths must have gotten away with 15 forward passes just in the first half alone. Fucking refs eyes are painted on.Mind you, he got our forward pass no worries. Fucking fool.

Which wasn't forward - it came off a guys head .. play on.

There were three times tonight where we got pulled for forward passes and knock one that were actually play on.

Lucky our defence didn't make those decisions count

 

[Huge]

I thought we reaped the rewards of the hard work done earlier in the year. A lot on here were very vocal with their condemnation when we lost in round 3, 4 etc but I thought there were large parts of those games where we were top 4 material. We weren't far off and now we are putting together bigger chunks of top4 play.

Some good games tonight and some top games from a few. Jensen was solid, Carrigan good, Oates, Cobbo, Robati, Reynolds all top shelf. Hetherington was immense with good contributions from Walters and Paix and really good, mature forward play from Flegler. Very pleasing that is to be honest. Bit parts from Palasia and Kennedy were an acceptable standard. TMM was okay but needs some improvement. Staggs and Farny were good too. Hard to find any poor efforts. RK was deadset unlucky with that penalty, he clearly wasn't trying to elbow anyone.

Really happy chappy tonight. Well done KW and his coaching team.

Anyone wanting a laugh check out Gould’s commentary around the 9 minute mark, when we went close to scoring.

Pretty sure it's three years, a complete three years or so.

It is for Souths.

 

[Kaz]

They put him on there to make Locky look a little better.

Don't think it's working.
