POST GAME [Finals Week 1, 2023] Broncos vs Storm

[BroncosFever]

The worst one is the claim that Walsh kicked out in rampage and was a disgrace. No THIS is a disgrace.

Old mate Corey "bite down on the mouthguard" Parker said that Reece Walsh initiated contact, that's fuckin impressive, how do you initiate contact on a defender after you've leapt vertically to catch a ball

 

[Big Del]

Never in doubt

Yeah !
And keep your fraidy cat pessimism to yourself in future , thank you .
26 - zip .

Our best performance in years. Attack was a little clunky and the ref didn’t help us by letting Storm lay all over us but we held strong and defended very well.

I just had a feeling we would go to another level this week and we did. Hopefully we continue to lift for our next 2 games.

Man it's salt city out there for the Broncohaters. The amount of whinging about the refs gifting us the game is insane.

For future reference, at least we've confirmed Grant Atkins is our guy.

Watching the replay, Atkins did a better job than I thought. Two calls I thought he botched, he got right but I still can't believe the penalty against Mam for "not clearing the ruck" when Paps dropped the ball stone cold.

Those are always difficult, we get to see replays and criticise based on that, refs don't.

You of all people should know one game is not a satisfactory sample size. After all, Billy has strung a great season together and you're still in here talking about Smoothy.

Thought Mam had a sneaky fingertip play at that one, actually. Don't think it would have gone our way in a challenge.

Overall penalty count doesn't mean much. You could be on the wrong side of the penalty count while still being the team that got away with more.

On Fox, Parker (shit that salty bitch is unbearable) said that walsh initiated contact and got the penalty.

On the herbie and staggs swap, I think kevie may have initially swapped them because by kicking to cobbo, storm were reducing herbies involvement in that first and second tackle hit up. Swapping them put herbie in the right position to complete those early hit ups and metres from cobbofielding the kicks.

Well said @NSW stables
Corey Parker = Salty Bitch

I’m still tingling from last night

Yeah there were plenty of "game management" non-calls but that would've blown the count out further. Might've affected the KPI.

 

[Brocko]

I thought it was well officiated, we got some penalties but they were penalties we earned and Storm were holding on for dear life to maintain some sort of control in the ruck

Which on the replay, Jimmy Graham even called out on the fox coverage.

 

[McHunt]

Paps: 6 screws and a plate. Expected to be back training in the NY.

 

[Brocko]

This is quality from SB.

Does anyone anyone else feel like The Storm walked into the wrong Saloon last night?!
Picked the wrong guy and challenged him to a duel?!
Bang Bang…. Back to Melbourne in a body bag.

 

[KnToad]

The crowd cheering at it, was all time!

Just when I thought my night couldn't get any better.....
Being there to see that after so many losses was up there with anything I've ever experienced at any sports ground anywhere. Ever.
But when the big screen showed Bellamy burying his face in his hands and the CROWD ERUPTED!!!
Oh my god - that was spiritual
