Also, a few shout outs.. Smoothy - excellent service all night, not much running (is that deliberate?) but considering he played the majority of the game. Lucky to have him, i feared the worst for a few moments that in consecutive games we lost our run-on half and then hooker too. Back 5 - for...

Mariners first try of the game, a thing of abject beauty...i could watch tries like that ALL DAY! Smoothys superb pass from dummy half, Rodgers really digs into the line so Walsh can run onto the ball and draw the winger in, followed by another great pass. The Mariner magic...so good.

Pretty much sums up Parra this year. Punch holes up the middle at will...then ruin the yardage earned by their forwards with rushed and sloppy backline play. 28 missed tackles. That must improve, same with field position.

If it's going to be wet down at Parra, teams that have the best kicking game there generaly come away with the spoils. So yeh, good luck Brisbane. Mam and Walsh just need to slow things down a touch in execution. Obviously thye havent played long enough yet where the game does slow down for...

Well, i think we'd be getting ahead of ourselves then is thats the goals this season. Given our start, top 4 would be a fine achievement.

Keen to see what Rodgers can do, but Madden is a replacement level NRL player and if/when called upon, im confident he can do the job asked of him. This is also a test for Mam and Walsh here. They need to take responsibility of steering the team around. Which probably means reining in some of...

Can we at least see this guy score a few tries against the Eels? Cause he is well due for one... Can Madden/Mam/Rodgers show patience and read the lines Piakura runs just before the defensive line? He is a true weapon and its time we start setting up plays 20-30 metres out for him.

Yes, thats right. A game managing half is whats required. Doesnt need to be elite - we have elite players elsewhere. Just a calming presence that can guide the team around the field and have a decent kicking game. I think Madden can do that..

Gutted for Harry... But what can we do? Next man up. Patty, Mam, Walsh - you guys need to step up now and take more leadership of this team. We now get a early look at whether Madden is "the guy" post Reynolds...or not. You know what? I think the kids gunna surprise a lot of people.

Fair play to the Roosters, missing quite a few of their own players yet had a game plan and stuck to it. Speaking of game plans. Like Penrith, Brisbane play for the grind, knowing that as the game progresses we have the firepower to take advantage across the park. Where was that last night...

Thats a hell of a starting line-up isnt it...:happy:

Going to be, again, a real interesting team list Tuesday. Been interesting to read the thoughts of my fellow Broncos tragics about how to replace Madden at 5/8th. I kinda always come back to a simple home truth; Kevvie will rarely change a winning team. So, kinda expected someone to come in...

Didn't their board say they need/want to move from Leichardt or something? Whatever it was, it's lite a fuse under their supporters to come out and vote with their feet.

...also, shout out to a great turn out at Campeltown. At least 30% of the crowd were Brisbane supporters too i reckon, maybe more? How times have changed for us on these southern trips.

I'm satisifeid with that win. Consider the competitive portion of the game (first 70 minute) we kept our opposition scoreless whilst defending resolutely and then backing our offensive game to strike from anywhere on the field. Thats a potent combination of game states. One of these games, we...

So, a few games this week with 50+ points scored by the winner. Is it one of those weeks? Is there any real reaosn why we cant do the same and lay the smackdown on? I mean, Arey should be looking to torture this Union debutant Solomon Alaimalo with torps and grubber kicks behind him..

Clearly Paix's time with us is over - move him on and offer that spot & money to Mozer. Kill two birds with one stone in fact...

Horrific news, so sad actually. Though i must admit it would be Manly of all clubs who would want to show respect this weekend with a big performance than the TIgers surely...

Is there a source for this?

Yeh Mam is a loss for sure, but again giving Madden another run out can't hurt his development. It's a shame cause i was hoping to see more of this against the Tigers but obv. not likely given our absentees this week. Watch as Walsh attracts three defenders to him as he approaches the...
