Broncos v Souths *spoilers*

[Playboy Bunny]

Can someone help me with something though...towards the end when corey parker got pushed into touch howcome to the Broncos got the ball back? Must have been something that I missed. I thought it may have been called a knocked on from Sandow??

 

[Playboy Bunny]

I think Karmichael has to go, he's nothing.

I'd much rather he stay.

If anyone has to go it's Michaels. I sound like a broken record, but i am welly and truly pissed off with his efforts tonight.

I agree that michaels really needs some work or has to go. I just didn't really see Karmichael get into it tonight like he usually does. I know he may have been a bit tired but still...

Wallace should have stood up tonight with Lockyer out, but once again he didn't.

The referee was playing advantage from when Sandow knocked on. icon_thumbs_u

Fair enough.

I think the effort was there, but with the ball in hand he didn't have his best night.

Cracking ball to put Taylor over for a try though.

I thought Wallace played a good game.. it was his support runners etc that let him down.

Don't be too hard on Michaels defence tonight, its not 1 players fault. The whole left side has no idea what to do especially when the attacking side bring an extra player over around the back of the ruck.

Didn't he run over 20 metres? Thus the advantage should have been over.

 

[Playboy Bunny]

I don't think Corey got past 10meters...but I could be wrong.

God it was funny when the ref got knocked out. All the people in the background were laughing. I know I wouldn't wanna be coping Carols knee.

 

[Ghibli]

How can advantage be over when he was put out with no real gainage in meters, the orginal knock on happened about 5 meters away, Parker went back and picked up the ball, then ran sideways for a bit; he only wnet forwards for a little bit.

 

[Twiztid]

Maybe I am thinking of the wrong tackle. I didn't really watch the game as I was listening to it live and will watch the Fox Sports replay at 1am so I can watch it all.

Dear Dexter

I write to you to inform you of the program. It says that everything that goes wrong is Steve Michaels' fault. ALWAYS. I hope this brings you up to speed with the truth.

True.

Although i think his indecisiveness played a major factor in the majority of tries Souths scored down that side.

I think he should have been moved after the 2nd try. The problem is who do you move there? The committment was not there from any Broncos players really.

 

[Dexter]

No doubt nnn, I just dislike how so many latch on to 1 player (Shane Perry, Darius Boyd) and heap the blame onto them.
We have far bigger problems than just Michaels poor reads especially when he gets isolated so easily because those inside him are not defending well themselves.
Our whole left side has no idea how to defend in a given situation.

But constant Michaels defenders are kidding themselves in my opinion. You are blind if you think Steve Michaels is a gun first grade centre in today's game. He's definitely not up to Bronco standard as far as I'm concerned.

Sometimes... you just have to cut a player because they don't have the talent or at the very least suited to other teams. He might be a decent centre at a team like the Raiders or something but at the Broncos? Lets get serious. Harsh but fair IMO.

Tonight's game was just another example. You can't keep defending him. It's bullshite.

Who has taught the ?Broncos that shoulder charges are the way to go? FFS, it's a freaking joke. They need to learn to tackle and fast.

Steve Michaels should have been hooked after 20 minutes, he needs to spend some time in the reserve grade and get his confidence back. If Henjak can't see that he needs to step down.

Next week I'd like to see Hunt in at first receiver instead of Gorrell, Gorrell had nothing but slowness and indecisiveness, at least Hunt has vision and a good kicking game. Hoffman looked OK in his final 20 minutes & Hunt will be better for the rest.

Would have been nice if Stagg was sitting on the side line for us instead of the Dogs, seriousy we need someone like him to go out and tackle everyone that moves and strengthen the defence. We keep sliding back in defence instead of moving up on the opposition, it's soooo frustrating to watch.

ANd of course we're going to bag Michaels it was his fault that they scored 5 of their tries....sheesh! Why should his team mates cover his poor reads, he leaves them high and dry constantly.
