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

[HarryAllan7]

Yeah, we need a training montage showing all the work leading up to tonight

 

[Midean]

Nah, he's no Stuart.

He stays composed, thats for sure.

One of the most dominating performances in a final I have witnessed. The boys came ready to play physical footy and totally rattled the cage of the Storm. The rest of the league will be looking over their shoulder after this performance. So proud of each and every one of these blokes.

Arthars only ran for 62m compared to all the other backs who were over 100. Are we sure he should have been picked over Oates?

Haas - 180m, 77 PC metres
Carrigan -193m, 85 PC metres!
Hetherington - 140m
Palasia - 153m - he really came into his own in that second half

On a dry track and Oates fit I would go with him, but Arthars has done the task all year and is safe as a house under the high ball. IMO the right choice.

 

[Galah]

Melbourne thought they could just grub and frustrate their way to a victory.

When Munster, Hughes and Grant aren't on they've got nothing.

When the ref was having non of it they have nothing, Bellamy has nothing…. They still had the quicker play the ball. They still had nothing.

 

[Organix]

Man, that performance being overshadowed by Paps might also benefit us for the next match.

Melbourne kicked to Cobbo all night. Kev made the right call. Oates has the old dropsie in him, Arthars doesn't.

 

[Morkel]

JYY's was worse in that not only did his leg break, his full weight came down on it like a skyscraper coming down. It must have been messy. The docs said it was like a car crash injury.

Paps' break may well have been cleaner. The force that broke it may have just directed the bone through the skin, but it doesn't necessarily mean it was all crushed up like JYY's. The main risk is technically the risk of infection (especially on a footy field), but it's entirely possible it's no worse than a normal break (which is still bad, but not automatically career-ending).

 

[MrTickyMcG]

Man my reaction to the injury from Paps vs Coates was a lot different. Felt real bad for Paps but I feel guilty for how excited I was for Coates. Am I a bad guy? Sure. Am I happy to live with it? Yes.

Nelson still got away with BS tunnel-balls. Absolutely Disgusting

This, no coincidence. Of all our wingers, Arthars is the one you least want to kick to.

On the contrary, I am really pleased with his defence, good read and nice speed which is what Oates lacking currently, even just 62m, I remember he caused at least one penalty and no errors?

 

[Midean]

Couldn't get a better confidence booster.

Just flogged the team that has had your number for 8 years and kept them to zero.
The effect this will have on the entire club will be great.

This is the correct reason.

 

[broncos4life]

They taste as good as Ryan Hoffman's! Nothing like Storm tears.



I was going to say make it a gif but....



Perfection.

All jokes aside Bellamy is pathetic. I mean he is a grown man, act like it.

 

[theshed]

Just wish we could’ve kept them to less than nil

**** these storm *****

Didn't really need those metres though. Cobbo, Staggs and Farnworth get us going well enough - as your stats show. Don't remember him making a mistake, came up big in defense a few times, his mobility out there is key in that area.

I love Corey.... butI I'd stick with Jesse.

 

[Fatboy]

This was as close as the Storm got to us tonight
