Thaiday, Teo were standouts. Parker was good except for a couple of forced passes.
Glen was going really well at 9 before being benched for Norman who hasn't played there before ??? WTF Ivan.
Also Hunt gets dragged when he wasn't going that badly just playing like a kid needing game time in the NRL but IH had to justify crap bench selections. We lost any chance when IH made 4 replacements at once and changed the starting 7 and 9.
I have no idea what the game plan is supposed to be, I honestly don't think there is one.
Henjack needs to pick a side and stick to it.

Im past angry after the games now, Just come to expect that the Broncos play like shit ever week. I tell you what, im really looking foward to the Broncos getting the flogging of their lives down in Melbourne next week.
Did we have 1 tackle in opposition 20 the second half?

Hoffman played well as fullback, with a bit of time he could be quite good. Thaiday and Te'o had great games, Te'o didn't do that bad 2nd half. I think hunt has shown he doesn't have it, not yet anyways. But who else do we have? Overall I've got to say that I have never been more angry with the Broncos. This season is going to be really bad and I want Ivan fired. I don't want to watch another Bronco game this year, not because I don't want to support them, but because I just get so dissapointed it almost makes me cry :) I hadn't given up on them yet, but after this game I'm done, there's no way we can come back now.
EDIT: I think what needs to happen now is for Brisbane to get flogged each game and lots of points scored against us. Then someone might actually do something drastic to fix it.

I wasnt at the game but did i hear people booing at the end of the game?? The Broncos need a good wake up call. I think we had to win tonight to be any chance this season. I think Storm by 50+ would be a good bet next week.
Like is said im over getting angry with the Broncos, just expect to loose every week now

That was a terrible game that doesn't belong in so called 'first grade'.
The Broncos were a shamble, there didn't seem to be any structure in anything they did, they were bunched and there was no depth and they only ever setup for any lateral movement after wasting 3 tackles with soft hitups from a standing start which was easily read because the defence was soo bunched they were never going to be able to spread it.
They conceded metres at will with poor line speed and again failed to wrap the ball up, constantly slapping at the ball carrier and diving to the ground.
The first 20mins were pretty much forfeited by such slow delivery from hooker that when the ball was eventually received the defence was already up in their face, Glenn did improve later in the game though and ran it a bit more. Norman was better in attack but screamed spot player in defence. We need a proper hooker!
Points only started coming after the Knights conceded penalties and gifted us territory that we were seemingly incapable of achieving without them and they were hardly the result of brilliant attacking football, one was a try from a lucky bounce off the posts from a kick by a forward, and the others were just pathetic defence. Folau needs to look outside him, at least twice Yow Yeh was screaming for the ball. They were again guilty of pushing the pass in the 2nd half.
It was obvious enough at halftime that once the penalties started to flow the other way the Broncos were never going to be able to hold their line or get in a position to attack theirs and i begrudgingly took the near $6 on offer for a knights win.
Setu was caught in the ruck on our line on more than one occasion with at least one leading to a try.
I thought Hunt's game was much improved in the first half, and I thought Hoffman was solid. Thaiday and Teo were again good.
The whole performance reeked of poor preparation imo. Im not sure where a win is going to come from atm because they went backward tonight.

I am just over losing games at our home ground to teams we really should beat. I can handle losing to a top4 side at home but not the Knights or Warriorst that is just a joke.

There was more space up the middle of the Broncos tonight than there is in the sharks salary cap!
