Broncos Vs. Dragons Spoilers & Post Match Discussion

[Jeba]

Just my opinion, but fair enough. I will do my best not to be overly critical in future, but geeze he'd wanna come good soon because on his last few games he doesn't deserve his selection.

Sorry if I came across a bit defensive mate, and by all means I agree with you about his '09 form as well!

 

[Bucking Beads]

I think we was out coached more than anything else last night. Also I thought we had a very skinny 10 in attack and a deep one in defence, either that or the dragons were pushing hard off the line and we was staying flat footed. Poor selections by Henjak also destroyed us last night as did the players not wanting as much as the Dragons boys. Bennett had his boys firing and once we got behind we couldn't come back from there muscle.

 

[subsbligh]

Yeah the Devere as a second row interchange forward experiment failed miserably. Seriously WTF Henjak???

McGuire or even Sims would have been 200% better option there

 

[Coxy]

Absolutely shit across the park, but particularly the left side. Michaels and Summerpot had NFI.

But, better to have our come back to earth now than at the end of the season. Mistakes cost us, and we looked bloody tired, falling off tackles as though we were a Wayne Bennett coached team.

I'm going to have a hard time giving a 3-2-1, because most deserve a negative.

Wallace played the worst game I've seen from him in Broncos colours.

 

[subsbligh]

Also Boyd my God either had the best game in his career or was against poor opposition

 

[Coxy]

He's bulked up a heap in the offseason. So strong.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Boyd was amazing it must be the fullback position that brings the best out of players.

 

[Fozz]

Very disappointed. Some effort was lacking from the forwards although Kenny was good. Dragons had a lot of luck but we weren't playing well enough to beat them. At least I $20 on Izzy for FTS.

 

[bronco_babe77]

Pretty average. Watched the first 30 mins in front of the telly (which I enjoyed) and the rest listening and popping in from the verandah - had the neighbor round for drinks.

I too, hate losing to the Dragons. Man I hate that team - always have. But yeah I agree - how good was Boyd???

 

[Bucking Beads]

I agree about the luck they had but I guess thats footy. Also Wallace was quiet because our forwards got beaten but his and Lockyers kicking game was a joke we deserve better as fans. Why don't forwards bach Soward all he can do is kick just go belt him.

 

[subsbligh]

I don't agree. Hate to be Storm-support like but that Folau no try would have turned the game.

There was no arm wrestle in this game - certainly not one which we got dominated in. A few lucky tries to the Dragons. Broncs just looked non fussed. After the massive 3 weeks we've had against Storm, Warriors and Cowboys the boys are just drained. Who cares, it's St George - big game for them, I'm sure Rabs has them has premiership favourites now... dream on something for the media in Sydney to feast on but really Dragons weren't special.

 

[subsbligh]

DEVERE AS AN INTERCHANGE FORWARD OH MAN

(just had to try and get the discussion started on this)

 

[Jeba]

Pretty sure it's already started.

 

[forward_pass]

I heard they only trained twice this week, TWICE, no wonder they were lethargic.......

Crap kicking game, crap passing, no support play, dominated in the ruck (turned us on our backs almost every time), StG offside the entire match, ref stuff ups, took us 70 minutes to work out we have a world class back line - game was gornn.

 

[mick]

I have to LOL at everyone sinking the boot in.

For the first three weeks, there's hardly been a bad thing to say about ANY player. Hunt was f**king dynamic against the Warriors last week, the halves were going well and our forwards were killing it.

As sh*t as it is, last night was just "one of those nights" across the park, and I don't think anyone should be singled out at all. The back three were woeful in their positioning for kicks, I don't think Wallace or Lockyer kicked to open space once and our forwards were dominated in every category aside from handling errors, where they outdid themselves.

Bugger it, it's round four and I don't think things can get worse than we saw last night.

Overall, think about it. It's February, before the season, and you look at the early rounds. Cowboys, Storm, Warriors and Dragons.

If someone said we'd be 3 wins from those 4 games, you must agree you'd be extremely happy with that start! If a little luck hadn't gone our way, we could easily only have one win. Take the good with the bad, and get on with it - roasted Rooster for Good Friday again!

 

[bronco_babe77]

Well said Mick. I probably wouldn't have expected them to have won 3 out of those 4 at the start of the season. Have to just cop last nights loss on the chin. It happens - we could always have been worse.

Looking forward to Friday night - I'll be camping by then too. Even though I have a TV in the van, Mr BB isn't so keen for me to be watching the footy while we're there [icon_thumbs_do so it will probably be either radio on in the background or my update support network sending me texts [icon_pray. .You know who you are.

BTW Mick, I saw you on TV last night - right after the first try was scored icon_thumbs_u

 

[Foordy]

I was surprised to hear that Kenny was given MOM. especially as he was on a team that was totally outplayed

 

[Bucking Beads]

This loss hurts because we are a better team than the Dragons and the players and Henjak shoul dhave wanted to prove that but clearly they were not prepared well enough for the game.
