POST GAME Finals Week 1 - Roosters vs Broncos

[animal eater]

How the hell is it our so called super coach has not cottoned on to when Mead starts we lose. I have posed that question and throught three times the last month without notice. Did ball security let us down? Yes. Did Blair kill us again? Yes. Did Marshall ruin his flashes of greatness with shit decisions? Yes. Still with all that... when your retard coach absolutely WASTE a space for Mead...yet again who has ZERO offensive prowess and instantly puts the side on the defensive because frankly the offence has less ability to control and fire, it has me fuming. Just one more case of Wayne being more a masterbator than a master coach. Not fucking happy at all. We needed that win.

Just watched the replays of last nights highlights . Sorry to bang on about my pet hate but did anyone catch the so called play the ball by JWH leading to the Mitchell try? SO the chooks scored their first try from a forward pass call against us and their second from a worse forward pass by Friend and their last aided by an illegal play the ball.

I'm not saying we was robbed but **** me the refs are just so bad and it's magnified when a mistake directly leads to points.

I'm glad I didn't watch live, I was already pissed off when I switched off before halftime but that would have gutted me. Kudos to those who rode that rollercoaster.

We need Parra to beat the Storm then Chooks or Sharks to beat the Storm. I think we can get Parra in a big game but its a toygh ask to beat Storm and Prra back to back.

I really hope Mead has worn his last Broncos jersey. While ican't complain about him running the ball back from FB last night, I just can't get over the fact that he just looks like a flat out ordinary, bordering on hopeless, footballer.

Our attack was fine last night. People and papers digging into the halves are a bit rough. They were never going to be absolutely dominant against the Roosters, but some of those Benchi kicks were on fucking point.

Rough night all around though.

Kodi has to go back to halfback, Benji to the bench and anybody but Mead to fullback.

I really don't see now Wayne thinks these constant changes to our spine are going to work for us ? Everybody knows a Milf/Kodi halves pairing is our best option.... Benji can come on later and try to kick the opposition to death.

Nexts weeks teamsheet will make interesting reading....

According to this reporter, bunj was second best on ground for us, behind McGuire.

This view is why we don't have our shit together .

If bennett doesn't sort Blair out for the next game then he's got some explaining to do. Blair has been out of sorts for weeks now and if that howler against the eels wasn't enough to bench him then surely last nights same poor effort should be the nail in his run on coffin. The ridiculous offloads he's been attempting and tackling effort on cordner were embarrassing. He bulked up this season but he is still getting dominated by opposition props and now has lost his speed in doing so as well.

Wayne was genuinely unhappy last night in the press conference. I watch all the press conferences and while he has had negative things to say through the year you could tell his was downright dissapointed and pissed off As a whole.

Hopefully he stuck a nice little bomb under them post game rather then his normal cool calm collective speech. It seems we need something new cause what we are doing at the moment just isn't working.

Id like to hope there are 17 players on a plane back to Brisbane right now absolutely fucking sick to death of losing the most important games of the year by tight margins when we've been in a winning position. The 2015 grand final, last years quater final against the cows and now last night. If they aren't deadset devestated and Ready to rip a new asshole into anyone who stands in their way from here on in something is seriously wrong.
Enough is enough

As dexter pointed out, that play the ball by Hargreaves was just farcical. Not even the slightest attempt to play it - just tunnel ball it back like a game of touch. The neighbours certainly knew my feelings on it at the time.

 

[WASSHHH]

I want to provide a different view on Blair. Yes he's been ordinary, but why take one of the most promising edge running back-rowers (when at Storm) and play him at prop when he just isn't big enough. I know the Tigers did it, but we didn't have to keep doing it. In fact, shouldn't that be reason enough to undo it?!?

Speaking of back-rowers, so glad Glenn is playing the house down. All Gillett has done in the last month is miss takles and stifle early ball for Roberts. He looks off to me - Cordner gave him a bath last night.

This is where someone with Wayne's stature in the game should be pointing out crap like this. Give the refs a roasting for once because grubs will continue to take the piss and the good guys will suffer for it.

Agree 100%. Kodi and Milf were building together well, with the emphasis on together, as well as individually.

I thought Benji was ok last night but Kodi at FB is for one, a bad move for mine. Our FB needs to have a mouth and defensive nous, which is Boyd's chief strength, and why we defend a lot better with him at the back. I couldn't believe how abysmal the line defence was last night. Swiss cheese. Players didn't know who to defend. Talk about bad reads. That in itself is a worry that we rely on Boyd so much.

I still don't get why Kahu isn't playing FB when he used to contribute so much to that role when Boyd was out for his achilles injury.

The defence on Mitchell for their last try was U-20's or worse, both to let it happen, and to let him through.

Oh well, back to the old drawing board

Said he was the only one not cheering in the box when Oates scored

in 25 years of watching Bennett in the box, i only recall him getting animated twice. the rest of the time he never moves and his face never changes regardless of the performance

I seem to recall him jumping out of his chair in celebration when Hannant 'scored' in that game a decade ago. Probably has made him refuse to ever since.

Also, I was a shit fan and only turned on last night at 65min. Do I torture myself with the first 65?

Definitely skip the first 30mins.

hahaha yeah that's one of the reasons I bailed. We have just moved and my wife was worried the neighbours would think we were having a domestic. Last Thursday was our second night when we payed the Cows then last night..
I'll have to do the rounds and let them know I'm a Broncs fan.

 

[ZTop]

Something happened with the pass from dummy half, was it forward? Or was it merely a bounce pass?

The point I'm getting at is that the two tries the Roosters scored, and set the tone for the match were off some dubious calls.

On the other hand, how many tries did they bomb? Liu short before the line, Ferguson knocking on the Milford speculator, Cordner slipping over, Mitchell losing the ball before the put down...anything else?

bit late now but it was a bounce pass, they ruled it only bounced forward to despite it being clearly forward from the hands

To be greeted with: "Oh, I understand the frustration. Carry on."
