Broncos Vs. Knights - Match Thread

Half time. Broncos 22 Knights 12

Woeful defence which IMO stems from our lack of shutting down the offload! Out attack has been inspiring I hope we get the job done in a big way in the second half.

A good comeback after having two early (soft) tries put on us.

We look good with the ball, but are woeful in defence.

Thaiday and Te'o are our best by far. Hunt hasn't gone too bad (when Locky lets him get the ball)

Sounds like some good attack when we actually have a go but I'm not getting too excited, even if we somehow go on to win. This opposition has had paper thin defence all year. They lost to the Sharks last week. Says it all really.

Correct.

baby steps as they say [icon_wink

Well that was a tale of two halves... within a half!

Knights really had no possession in that second quarter but it was still good work to lay on four tries.

The main thing I want to see in the second half is solid defence.

I think the main reason the Knights didn't score after we scored our first one was that they almost never had the ball, so our defence stopped being exposed. If they get an even share of it in the 2nd half, it could get ugly for us.

Very true. It will be good if we get one tonight, but in normal circumstances it's one we really should get anyway.

I reckon we will continue to smash them through the second half and hopefully rack up another 70 point scoreline ala 2006.

The whole team looked horrible in defence, give him the second half lets see how he goes.

Look, i'll admit, i was hoping he'd go OK as much as anyone else was ...


... BUT ...

.. very early on in th game he showed why he shouldn't be there.

Terrible reads in D and no confidence with the ball .... he locks it under his wing and hits the line.

I reckon he's done his dash (even in a team that's playing badly)

 

[jarro65]

Great start to the second half
