POST GAME [Round 4, 2026] - Broncos vs Dolphins

[Mr Fourex]

Ezra definitely needs to improve. Wouldn't be surprised if he is putting so much effort into trying to improve the defensive side of his game at training etc that his attack is currently off. Not giving up on him

Improve...or has been massively over rated.

 

[Bull Shark]

Boy there’s a lot of smug, sarcastic stuff I’d like to spew after that performance after that week..

But those 17 guys said it all tonight.. that’s how you show the world what you’re really made of

 

[Broncones]

Our ****ing home.

 

[FaceOfMutiny]

Ezra may have cost a try but his defence has improved as well so I think the attack will come down that side of the field soon enough. Liked how hard he was hitting in defence and that ankle tap was fantastic! Just glad to see us play 80 minutes and step up without Payne.

 

[Alfie magic]

Phins down .

 

[Midean]

If he just added some aggression to what he does he would be a great player, he gets in the right spots, runs the right lines, and then butchers it with soft efforts where he slows down before contact.

He was pivotal tonight. That long chase down he did to pen Hammer in goal was beautiful and there was not another Bronco for miles. Legit momentum changer in that moment.

Bloke is awesome when he is in form and wears head gear.

 

[Midean]

Geez that was a nice offload from Talty.

Will be hard to beat for pass of the year. Shit was magical.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Shoutout to paix and riki. They have stood up big time the last 2 weeks. Biggest improves, hope they keep it up.

I am worried about shibasaki moving forward. The only try came from his shocking defence. It costs us a try or 2 a game. I hope madge keeps arthurs on the bench, or even verhoven if he's ready and arthurs has a poor attitude, just to keep shiba honest.

Feel bad for anderson. Wonder if that stuffs the transfer to warriors (if it was true). Hopefully just 2-4 weeks. Also feel bad for mariner. He deserves that centre spot, and purely due to his versatility vs shibasakis means he has to go back to the wing.

I thought both sides were lucky they were playing each other tonight; it was really flat for some reason. It felt like a trial game from a month ago.

Over 100 missed tackles in a game- Mam 8 and Piakura 7 and I thought the attack was pointless at times from both teams.

Bronco backs 1-6 dropped the ball at least once and made 10/11 errors- with Rikki the 11th.

The big tick was Brisbane's kicking game; Dolphins weren't in the mood to cart if from back there.

A win is a win but dear me.

Great win considering the clear incompetence at best by the ref. Ezra is also absolutely shit house atm.

Didn't feel flat at the game.

Did Karapani, Mariner drop the ball? I can't remember. Dolphin offloads were ridiculous, haven't looked at the stats sheet but had to be a lot.

On the Dolphins, they really need to move Hammer to centre and bring Fuller in. He's just not creative enough, or does the hard yards to be fullback. Bringing fuller into the starting line-up gives them one more attacking option.

Just finished watching, got home late from work.

My view ......SIX AGAIN!...... was that the ......SIX AGAIN!...... fatigue the players were ......SIX AGAIN!...... under really spoiled the contest, ......SIX AGAIN!...... everyone was tired and dropping off tackles ......SIX AGAIN!......

The reffing was ......SIX AGAIN!...... abysmal, and every time ......SIX AGAIN!...... the game started to get going ......SIX AGAIN!...... the calls were going against us ......SIX AGAIN!...... but we kept fighting.

The one thing I'd like to check though ......SIX AGAIN!...... is why the Broncos get held in tackles for 5 seconds and never get a....

[Hypex]

Riki's scoot from dummy half returns!

 

[Morkel]

The game was done, but I thought after Walsh's try-saver, coming up with the deliberate leg pull was going to end up as 10 in the bin.

 

[BroncsFan]

Madge got a big smile at the press conference.

Funny that his first comment was "credit to the players... and the staff" hahah

Was that Shiba's fault?

Karapani ends up on top of him and leaves his winger wide open.

I don't know what's going on with that left side defence, but none of them seem to trust each other to make a tackle.

Later in the game Karp stayed on his wing and shut down Isaako easily

 

[Midean]

What now Gordy?
