CROSS FORUM NRL 2022 Round 3 Discussion

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

We're 3 games in sheesh. Were you by any chance one of the guys heralding Siebold taking you to the premiership in 2020 after those wins against the Cowboys and Rabbitohs?

I liked the look of seibold after those 2 wins, buy more bcos he had a season before where he got souffs to the preliminary. Had a lot more runs on the board then Justin "coached a team with a 74% win rate throughout their time in super league/mastercoach" Holbrook.

I'm probably a more cautious poster about early season form, of course occasionally I go off in a moment of adrenalin post-win/loss or something though like everyone.


You are not SERIOUSLY thinking that defence is fixable? It will get better, it has too, but to make it the defence of a "form team" would be a deadset miracle. They'll win games when they get more ball and they're in a mood. Unproven spine, lots of cash on young power running forwards, backs with no football awareness.... don't stress, I'm not talking about the titans this year, that was the broncos 2020. Sound familiar?

They have the bones of a good side. Their attack looks pretty good, but their defence is going to ensure they dont really achieve anything. Its so sloppy.

Yep, too many issues like tiny fullback, lazy edges and inexperienced spine not providing composure means they will struggle to ever keep teams under 10 points.

They rely on winning games 28-20 but against good teams you got to be ready to grind out tough defensive set to defensive set wins and they don’t have the squad for that.

 

[pagey]

Na I've said our defence is shit a few times. Might've said our attack is quality though.

to many kids in the spine , or you'll end up 2020/21 Broncos imo of course

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

So he has to pay us to take him back.

If I was the titans, I'd be putting the feelers out for 750,000. Take the hit for one year and buy what you need.

 

[Financeguy]

No one even interested enough to ask many questions in the Titans press conference lol…still the most irrelevant team in the comp

It’s the dynamic of that contract and what will unfold because of it, you can’t get paid that much and be lazy, it rubs your teammates the wrong way. This will snowball, I said it last year, it’s a white ant contract.

the fact we have capes on literally half Fifitas contract is amazingly good business.

AJ Brimson vs the Raiders

You are right and I reckon that's why Kevvie and co. had to cut TPJ, Lodge.. etc

Earning all sorts of cash and coming up with consistent lazy efforts

They are still sucking up to Holbrook & are to scared to question the commitiment of Fifi.

 

[Galah]

AJ Brimson vs the Raiders

Should we already crown that hit as the winner for the season? In the context of the game, the hit itself, fucking phenomenal.

They were causing the dramas at the club.

They were like a cancer.

Another heart-breaking loss for the Gold Coast. In the end, Stuart's decision to have Starling come off the bench proved a master-stroke and while Tom struggled for direction at times his presence really kept the Gold Coast middle on notice and created space out-wide for the Raiders to exploit. A good win for them and that's two results that could have easily gone the other way for the Raiders. They're not convincing but the Raiders have so much big game experience that they'll beat a lot of teams in the arm wrestle. Tapine especially I thought was unreal in the second half.

The Titans would be feeling pretty low but the players can take a lot of lessons out of that result. I look at players like Jayden Campbell and Toby Sexton who don't have that much experience in these types of games and they'll be better prepared the next time they find themselves in similar situations. There were just some little moments where they could have adjusted and it would have made all the difference.

I wouldn't get too carried away with team selections if I'm Holbrook. I'd assess the fall-out, make the necessary changes and if I felt Corey Thompson should come in for Marzhew take it from there. In the long run, I'd be looking to bring in more players that have come through the system but it's a process and at the end of the day, they've only lost games by a few points.

 

[Super Freak]

According to Fox League, Broncos have somehow lost their match tomorrow before even playing.

Panthers are the only team unbeaten in 2022 according to them...

 

[Super Freak]

These Sportsbet ads are so fucking stupid.

 

[Super Freak]

**** YOU VOSSY. JUST **** YOU AND YOUR SHIT SHOW.

Us Broncos fans don't need to re-live that fucking moment.

If a player isnt putting in, its his team mates who will be the first ones to make an issue of it. You cant let the team down.

Its utter stupidity in a lot of ways to invest so much money in an edge back rower and then expect him to be your game changer anyway imo, they arent the sort of players that are going to carry the team, especially if you dont constantly give them good ball ( a bit like us with Kotoni in a lot of ways, they are the sorts of players that need quality ball to make the most out of them ) Not that i'm defending Fifita, he has consistency in his game at all.

 

[Battler]

Brimson is crap at 6 and I don't rate Campbell at all (he isn't ready for NRL). Sexton looks OK but isn't experienced enough to lead a team around the park rn. Whover plays hooker for them on any given week is below avg too

Good game.

When you look at Papalii and Shaun Lane you are reminded player development takes time.

Or just get them away from the Warriors
