Last year Herbie was definitely guilty of hogging the ball when he should have passed, on occasion. 95% of the time holding the ball was the correct option.

You've got to remember that it's Oates playing outside him. I love the bloke but he's dumb as a post. Give him a pass that's not on and he's going to run it over the sideline 9 times out of 10.

The other alternative is to blame the five eighth, halfback, hooker or lack of mind-reading support players. Anyone else but Herbie.

Only one Bronco made the list of top 50 tryscorers in 2021: Xavier Coates, the winger, came in at 31:


Scoring tries was a VERY big problem.

Let’s look at the top scoring wingers

1. Johnson (Rabbitohs)
3. Saab (Manly)
4. Ado Carr (Storm)
5. Garrick (Manly)
7. Sivo (Eels)
10. To’o (Panthers)
11. Tupou (Roosters)

Not a single player from any club other than the ones mentioned above, featured in the top 10 most try assists. All are fullbacks and halves. Milford is the first broncos to appear on the try assist list at 37 (9 TAs).

Blaming Oates not finding the line last year on Farnworth is pretty ridiculous.

What? This is so stupid. Oates generally cuts back in, he did it several times on the weekend when in space. He will only get taken out when trying to score a try, and he normally gets the pill down first.

Notice all of Oates scoring plays don't involve Herbie? Both this year have been a pass from Capewell, and a kick from Alby cutting out Herb.

Manu had 7 try assists in a roosters team that scored 122 tries
Olam had 10 and Melbourne scored 151 tries
Herbie had 7 and Brisbane only scored 77 tries
Both played more games in the season than Herbie

How many of Oates 100 tries have come off Boyd or Milford and how many do you reckon the centre

Fans just love to get behind a particular player and ride him to the death because they finally get their "I told you so" moment when he has a bad game.

However, this isn't the week to ride Herbie into the ground, he was the best player on the ground for us against the Bulldogs. Saved at least 1 try with his defense, scored 2, ran for 200+ metres.. this is the week when you pretend like you never said anything bad about him. Maybe he has a bad game against the Cows, that'd be a good time to get back on that anti-Herbie bandwagon.

Exactly! It’s why I have completely pretended I never criticised Kev for like 2 weeks now. I’m saving it for when we play the storm.

Geez, that was a solid edge.....Gillette > Reed > Oates.

Would love to see Corey bring back the old days by barrelling through a couple of defenders after a kick return in our 20 and run 80m for a try. Seems like a couple of years since he made a break out of our own end.
