A pretty decent effort from the Broncos all things considered. Roberts did well to steer the ship and Mam didn't appear over-awed at all. They did their job and allowed the Broncos to get into the arm wrestle but a couple of errors at crucial moments just gave Melbourne the ascendency.
I thought Cobbo did really well to read the kick but he just didn't come up with the grab. He'll learn from it but at least he had the presence of mind to read the play. Then in the second half with Flegler and Riki, they were crucial as well.
I thought that challenge by Olam was a huge moment in the game as well. That would have been a huge defensive win for the Broncos. From a one eyed perspective, it appeared Olam rolled it forward off the ground but I'd have to see a replay.
As always, it depends on how the Broncos back up. I've seen it happen so many times where teams go on winning streaks only to fall to pieces once they lose. Tough game against the Cowboys in two weeks time coming off an Origin, I think that Dragons game could prove crucial.
