POST GAME [Round 8, 2026] - Broncos vs Bulldogs

Hes among our most important i think. I know that sounds crazy but hear me out. He fixed up our left edge defence, and he has those great half break runs with his hard hitting run at speed with late footwork. Finds his front and gets a quick ptb.

We just have no one who can replace him at all.

Preston riki might have earnt the edge spot tonight (p riki is a better middle then gos and junt but i prefer gos in the middle for 15-20 mins rather then an edge for 60+ by a lomg way, and i prefer j hunt with zero minutes.)
Priki has played edge in the past in NSW cup so you'd think he could be a option. Looked pretty mobile for a big fella.

He looks the prototypical prop under Vlando ball... hope he sticks with us, because he might get a call up and another full preseason under Madge if we move on from someone like Jhunt or Gos
 
Quietly scrubbing any derogatory comments I may have made prematurely about Deine Mariner.
He scored that amazing try to get us through the 'riff into the granny last year. Not many wingers score that try against the 3 he beat to get there.

He's been super consistent and on that right edge with Katoni, he's been amazing defensively.

Need to lock that kid down long term.

Yeah, I think Talty is great when we have a little bit of go forward already and he comes onto good ball he can be damaging. Coming up against the first-choice middles for the dogs though he did get a bit man-handled. BUT, he didn't drop the pill! Normally when a forward is a bit out muscled they cough it up in a 3v1 and he did bloody brilliant in that regard.

We always knew our middles were never going to out perform theirs in a meters game, but we were tough and gallant in defense, respected the ball and we won comfortably off the back of it.

That, and Galvin is an absolute hack - Sexton is twice the player, how he lost out of that is beyond me.
Yeah for sure. Didn’t mean it as knock on Talty, it just shouldn’t be his job to do what is probably the toughest carry in the game - returning the kick off.

That’s not his game
 
That’s the only game in my memory where where I was sure three of the tries we scored we didn’t (Mariner, Xman and Ezra). Then upon seeing the replays being absolutely gobsmacked and elated at being so wrong lol
