POST GAME Post Game Discussion - Round 1 - South Sydney

[I bleed Maroon]

A very disappointing but somewhat expected result. Wayne must be sitting in the box thinking he has some work to do and some dead weight to rocket.

Kahu is the definition of a band aid placement. He is not a great fullback, from what I just saw. His dropped lollies at the beginning of the second half was the end of us.

I am seriously starting to wonder if the talent of some of these players from the Griffin era have been dramatically overstated. McC and Reed are on some serious egg shells with me now, and Granvilles departure is starting to seem like another monumental **** up.

Thaiday should seriously consider retirement.

Blair, McGuire and Parker were our best which really isn't saying much. Hodges, Milf and Hunt were all way too quiet. Maranta should be fullback just by the fact that he can actually catch a ball.

Everything will be ok, Benny's back remember and won't chose players that Hook did.

Who else is he going to select?

Will post more later but just wanna say I love the fact that the post game thread went up while the game is still on:laugh:

 

[Donny]

Not one Broncos player played well.

BHQ isn't going to be a pleasant place over the next few days.

Very disappointed with the performance, but it's round one against the reigning premiers, with a new coach at the helm.

I think we'll need to wait about 8-10 weeks before we start seeing any impact that a new coach and new signings have on the team.

Patience my friends.

 

[Nashy]

That was pretty awful.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Who else is he going to select?

Nikorima or Ofa over Whitchurch, for a start. Whitchurch was predictably awful.

 

[Bucking Beads]

They won't play that bad again this season.

 

[broncos4life]

That was ugly. But once the dust has settled we need to remember that this is a team with a new coach, new halves pairing, with a lot of experimental players in certain positions that played against the reigning premiers that look like the have gone to another level if it was possible.

Patience

What the ***** with the negativity towards other bhq'ers right after a loss ? It's almost like you have an agenda against those who like Bennett. Talk about the game instead of taking digs

3. Glenn
2. Gillett
1. Blair

I guess.

 

[Hug-Pug]

I wouldn't panic. South Sydney were incredible tonight, would have beaten any side in the comp with that performance.

However, individual performances from the likes of Thaiday are worrying to say the least.

 

[vertigo]

Changing my season membership to the four game one has proved to be a masterstroke.

Bennett still has time to weave his magic but if I had no knowledge we signed Bennett and a bunch of new players I wouldn't have noticed.

 

[bb_gun]

Minus 30 points differential and it's only round 1 :(

As has been mentioned already, I doubt we'll play that badly again this season.

 

[rnabokov]

Milford has to play at the back, Copley into the centres and Gillett to start with Thaiday dropped.

I thought Maranta did well and Hunt did his best. Also Gillett made such a difference for mine when he came on.

We have no halves and I really don't think it's going to be much fun waiting for Milf to adjust to his new role.

Other than that, we had no attack, no passing game. The defence wasn't that bad against a well oiled machine

 

[Ironbroncos]

Quite ironic I knew we would lose, but by that much is :noidea:

Thaiday is a straight up handbrakes guy, as soon as the defence touches him he crumbles.

 

[Kimlo]

Pretty rubbish but I wasn't really expecting a win against Souths. They've become such a strong team and we need at least a month or two to find our feet and start playing well.

That being said Thaiday is awful, I hope someone offers him something ridiculous and he leaves.

I'm too pissed off to add much more. Over to you guys.
