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

[Sproj]

I am sick of this freaking singular version of team names. Just continues to make talking heads in league seems like bogans. Use the plural of the names for goodness sake.

I thought there was more on the table with errors. There is more left.

Yeah there were heaps of errors, enough that, in the past, we would have struggled with. In fact, the sort of errors that "you can't make against Melbourne as they make you pay". So, really, in attack we were probably 6/10. But our defence was as close to 10/10 as you could possibly get. And as a result, they couldn't make us pay.

Summed it up perfectly. We just frustrated the heck out of the Storm to the point where they just totally imploded due to frustration.

Good, I hate that so much. As much as the repetitive, 'No. No. No. No. No.' he always pulls out in commentary.

Riki: This One Got Me Emotional

Jordan Riki gets emotional in his post-game interview heading into the preliminary finals.

www.broncos.com.au

You get the sense he is the heartbeat of the team, you can see how much he loves the Broncs.

Everyone thinks he's emotional about the moment and what they've just achieved. Meanwhile, he's actually just looking at Patty.

 

[Harry Sack]

Getting a little tired of all the media commentary around this game being about how the storm played poorly, rather than the Broncos didn’t allow them to play well. We bashed them out of that game.

TBF, that's always the way with any team but Penrith I've noticed. However, yesterday on the Sunday Footy Show I think it was Joey responded to Fittler, or maybe the other way around.

"The Storm just looked really off their game and weren't playing too well"
"Brisbane didn't let them though, they just bashed them through the middle and Melbourne had no answers"

Something like that anyway. Was a pleasant surprise for once.

would think riki is due for rep rewards

Yep if Brissy win the whole thing, I think all the following will get/be very close to rep jerseys:

1. Walsh (Aus)
2. Arthars (NZ)
3. Staggs (Aus)
4. Farnworth (Eng)
5. Cobbo (Aus)
8. Flegler (Aus)
10. Haas (Aus)
12. Riki (NZ)
13. Carrigan (Aus)

Reno should get an Aussie jersey if we win the whole thing

Not saying he shouldn't but over Cleary and DCE?

 

[Harry Sack]

Riki definitely should be looking at a Jersey you'd think. He's come along in leaps and bounds this year. Arthars is solid as hell as well. FB is going to be interesting, unless Teddy gets injured he'll be the 1 and the captain according to Mal. So do they take Walsh and Ponga?

Agreed but generally the GF winner provides a few extra players to rep teams than they otherwise would.

He won’t but he will deserve it. I would say he’s had a much better year than DCE. But that’s only if we win it all. If we do it will be because of him.

 

[Midean]

I love Riki, Bloke has been likeable since the start.
Keep him at the Broncs for life.

Me when I come back to multi-storey carpark after shopping for an hour.

Riki gets it. He understands just how far the team has come since the dreaded spoon performances and season crash. Hard work leading to high reward.
