Broncos v Manly Post Match Venting

and thats why pairing gillett with him maybe wasnt the best idea. because it gave us nothign in attack.

Pretty sure that's why most of us had an initial reaction of WTF :confused: when Griffin said Gillett was on standby to pay 5/8
 
Yep, and while everyone will point to Gillett being the wrong selection, huge amount of blame has to go on Wallace's shoulders. He didn't aim up. Geez I hope he aims up next year.
I recognise he lacked composure, but tbh that's a bit unfair too. Not even Locky can do the halves job on his own; case in point when Wallace injured his ankle against the Dragons in 2009. You need a second option in the halves. I was hoping for Macca to stand up more than he did, and also for Hunt to show some stuff, but it didn't happen at all.

The left side of the Broncos looked much better in attack than the right side though. Sometimes that side reminded me of headless chickens running around... :rolleyes:

No doubt. But general long, tactical kicking was pretty poor in general (with a few exceptions, the kick where they pinned DCE in goal on 2nd play was superb).
 
I might noisetheory, but right now I'm feeling very bitter about it. Don't think I could stand any call of it, I can just picture the Fox call being just as bad and commenting how they were always right about the Broncos although it clearly isn't our full strength side.

Agreed Porthoz. Wallace wasn't that bad and was unlucky not to be rewarded with more try assists. In fact, I'd say he was one of our better players despite the 3 odd dud kicks he put in. One of which occured when there was nothing else on and there was nothing left to lose.

He might not have been bad but he was so far behind DCE it's not funny.

Nothing epitomised that more than his cross field kick going in goal to be easily snaffled by Manly. Next set, DCE puts up a bomb from 40m out that Foran catches on the goal line to score.
 
i dont even think the commentators gave us a fair go but i watched the game drunk and driven by emotion i just want to watch with a clear head to make a proper ddecision on it all.
 
DCE also had his full strength fullback and five eigth out there assisting him.

Just saying.

And that helps kicking how?

DCE's kicking game is SO much better than Wallace's it's not funny. Not just tonight, all year. In fact, all Wallace's life. Even before DCE was born, he was better than Wallace :P

Man, I feel so sorry for the SFS cleaners. They'll have to clean up so much jizz off the floor of the Channel 9 commentary box.
 
I see the claws are finally coming out for Wallace.

It helps in terms of positioning kicks, it helps in terms of pressure and that sure as hell helped DCE's kicking game. I'm not saying Wallace was equal or better than DCE, but to say they were on a level playing field is rubbish.
