I just woke up & saw the score.

Not shocked.
 
Walsh just has to learn that if you make a half break and can't give a good pass just take the tackle NOT try to flick the ball out the back while running at full speed.
If he was capable of learning that he would have years ago
He’s an impulsive fool
 
The people bashing Walsh, he was the only **** out there trying to create something.

Reynolds was shit. Ezra was a ghost. Hunt wasn’t effective in the least.

He can’t do it all on his own.
We would have been 12 points better off if he didn’t “try” anything and sat out the back doing nothing.

Most of their points came off his errors.
 
Very ordinary night from our spine. Everyone is hammering walsh but he set up a nice try. I feel more criticism should be on Mam. Did he do anything the whole game?
 
Once again, if you adopt the Robinson game plan of kicking high and long to Walsh, the Broncos have no reply and just self-destruct. Some of those exit sets were just horrible.

Just needed to be patient and take calculated risks. Instead nobody wanted to put their body on the line and they just panicked.

A loss had to come at some point, but it just serves as a reminder that you can't trust this side to do anything.

" one of the worst sides ever in rugby league history"

Not sure any team with an Australian halfback in it can be called one of the worst sides ever but regardless, well done. That was a great win. You guys have some great signs for next season if Moses can stay healthy.
 
They were outplayed and anyone actually paying attention to our form over those 5 wins shouldn’t be too surprised.

Arthars has checked out, time to be dropped for Mariner.

Walsh can’t draw and pass on his right side.

There’s too many cooks, Reyno needs to actually start leading this side and being the dominant playmaker again.

Set restarts should be an embarrassment for the NRL, they just keep doubling down on the stupid rule without any understanding of the impact of when it’s applied or even what they are supposed to be achieving.

I don’t think we deserved to win at all, but it was still a classic Todd Smith crapshoot.
 
I agree. Reece is an easy target but **** me dead if Ezra or Reyno did absolutely anything to create points.

I’m feeling very strange reading this thread. I’ve had an absolute shit of a week in my personal life and thought that a loss would hit me hard but I am very calm and measured about this.

I think overall we got into a good grind and of all the losses we have had this year, this is the one that I can put down to the opposition playing well rather than us playing bad/refereeing decisions.

Whilst I wholly believe that decision at the end to change the penalty to a six again after the fact decided the game,
I am actually pretty calm about it all.

Maybe I have cancer and am dieing and have succumbed to the disease. Let’s go broncos.
You take it easy mate, I have plenty of disposable hate to dish out on your behalf.

**** TODD THAT CHEATING LOWLIFE ****.

TThat one's for you mate.
 
I disagree. The Eels scored right after Walsh gifted them field position from this error.
What about when old mate Staggs took the tackle after making a break. We didn’t do anything after
 
Reece is an easy target after the errors he made tonight. When he’s not playing we complain we are playing bad because his not there and need him back , when he has a bad game some of you want him out of the team completely.
 
Not sure any team with an Australian halfback in it can be called one of the worst sides ever but regardless, well done. That was a great win. You guys have some great signs for next season if Moses can stay healthy.
Outside of Moses and Lomax that team is shockingly putrid
