[Son Edo]

Cheers for opening this up.

 

[Coxy]

Huge interest in discussing this game. Lol

 

[Kaz]

I am sick of the commentators already.

 

[Kimlo]

Man I hate Ryan James, something about him just screams dirty wanker.

Go away with your negativity lol. This is hugely relieving for footy addicts like myself.

Basically it's been the Benny Barba show so far, NRL All-Stars have nothing - for their supposed advantage they really haven't made the most of their opportunities. Aside from Hayne swooping on a stupid offload from Ferguson, they haven't looked like scoring.

Haven't noticed anything about the commentary - you've just got to pick at something ay Kaz?

EDIT: James should have been binned, clear professional foul on Benji.

Yeah, he's pretty ill-disciplined, giving away a lot of penalties at the end.

 

[Alec]

Picking Adam Reynolds at halfback, and not giving Shaun Johnson much time, it's like you don't even want to win.

This is hugely relieving for footy addicts like myself.

You must be desperate for some footy.

 

[Son Edo]

I hope Prince is our goal kicker.

 

[Ari Gold]

Glad to see Laurie having fun winning. It'll be the last chance he gets in 2013.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I hope Prince is our goal kicker.

Leave field goals to Peter Wallace

Didn't expect the Indigenous to win, let alone by that scoreline. Credit where it's due, Laurie's team totally out-enthused a Bennett side filled with superstars.

From a Broncos stand-point, nobody really stood out. Hodgo was decent from dummy half, Prince had a mixed game with the boot & Hannant was solid - that's about all you can say.

Thought JT, GI & Barba were the stand outs. Tim Grant was the pick of the NRL side.

 

[Son Edo]

Good to see the indigenous win. I'm happy for them and their fans.

Same goes for blake ferguson for me, can't stand him. That was a bludger of a game for me, I barely got through it.

 

[pennywisealfie]

No Bronco injuries right?

 

[broncos4life]

Yeah I think that's right mate :)

Gotta say at the game hodgo and hannent looked fit as
