[2025 Trial] Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Loch Ness Monster]

Madden seems more competent as a 5/8

For sure, I actually think he has value playing off Reyno or Ben.
It’s when he’s partnered with Ezra that it’s a shit show.

A lot of errors in that first half and execution was off in the first 20mins... but all of a sudden Bhunt got it clicking and we started putting on some tries and put away the errors.

Zero points at half time is also a good sign... although Dogs have been pretty trash in attack and dropping the ball as much as us.

Time to get the first graders off and work towards round 1

 

[Waynesaurus]

Great seeing Paix and Kobe getting a decent shot.

 

[Skathen]

Kobe pretty much locked in lock IMO

The challenge for us, is he has big boots to fill - Patty is regularly a Rep in that position and has won at least 1 if not 2 Lock of the Year. If it brings Patty's game down, is it worth it?

 

[BroncsFan]

If he doesn't step over the ball (which I've seen a dozen times this game, not called) and he had a damn good half - two really good gutsy runs out of trouble. Solid, fit.

Some nice reads in defence as well... nothing crazy as yet, but they were getting up as a group on the edge when needed

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Our defence looks fuckikg supreme.

I'm trying not to get excited as it's just trials but defence wins premierships and the only time we've let in tries all off season is when we've gone "ah, games over anyway". Unbelievable defence and resilience, complete opposite of last year...

He's had a good game so far

His best game last year was with Reynolds against the tigers I think. He just focussed on running and scored a couple of tries. He has good pace.

Shiba and Gos have done exactly what they need to do. No errors good defence.

 

[McHunt]

Paix not as dominating as last week, but perfectly adequate. I have a couple of minor niggles with his service, but he's a big step up from Billy. I think Mozer is a bit more cerebral, if you could say that about a hooker, but Paix is more physical.

He's done enough to earn the 9, imo.

Billy would be gassed by now. He hasn't lost any step.

 

[Skathen]

Poor Kev, you can hear the pain in his voice.... fuuuuck I'm going to feel bad listening to him all year. He just, wasn't "IT"

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Hope staggs is OK but mariner isn't a bad replacement....


Gos and Shiba have been great. Our left edge is impenetrable. **** attack, we have enough stars to make it happen, defence is king

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Can’t argue with that, is Gos cooked or did he come good?

 

[MrTickyMcG]

That pass from Madden to Cobbo was (or looked) great. I think it was because as a viewer we didn’t see Cobbo until he got it.

First you focus on defence and minimising your errors, points will come.

Looked like he came good

 

[Brocko]

To be fair playing wing you don't do much.

I'd argue yardage carries are some of the most taxing runs in the game.

Dogs have kicked to Arthurs/Shiba much more so far this game though, for sure.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

It's scary how well coached we look
