POST GAME POST GAME [Round 3, 2023] Broncos vs Dragons

[something]

They listened to Kev at halftime.

Kev is like a young player, had a few seasons to rough out his edges but he’s really coming into his own as a coach and we are starting to reap the rewards of our loyalty.

Staggs and Reyno were our two best, shortly followed by Riki, Flegler & Haas.

overall a weird game, but a good game to stay grounded

 

[Foordy]

That must have been some half time speech from Kev.

We won the second half 32 - 2

Thorney, Kev, Alf and Kerrod in the sheds, that's unreal to look at

Frustrating 1st half because we know they're better than that, but a brilliant 2nd half. Big ups to Jensen and Taupau, I really thought they set the tone for the team in opening 10-15 of the 2nd half, then the stars followed.

Payne Haas adding an offload to his game is just a cheat code. Glad PC decided to roll up his sleeves and get through some tough runs. Please Kevvie, let Fleg come off the bench, he's so dominant when the opponents are on tired legs. Let Jensen wear them down for him in the opening stint.

Honestly, I didn't know Walsh was that fast watching him at the Warriors. He has game-changing speed and may get a look-in for Origin if Ponga isn't good to go by then.
Good to see Staggs have a great game. That'll do wonders for his confidence

 

[Mustafur]

It's scary when you think how many legends we have connected to the club atm.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Not sure what was said @Foordy, but we need to bottle that sh!t and sprinkle it every now and then!

 

[Organix]

Oh, look at that, Fox already have a hype ad. AND WITH Naden! Ermahgerd!

Puh-lease! Battle for Brisbane. Not really. It's Brisbane vs Redcliffe. Both teams will just go home after the game.

Odd game. We were ordinary for 70 mins then blew the game open in the last 10 mins. Loving our fitness levels that we can still have a big impact late on, big improvement from 2022.

Bit of a harsh marker on minutes 41 through 70 there. Had a lot of the run of play during that period, including getting back on top.

 

[Nashy]

Reece Walsh is a little bit special.

 

[Foordy]

How good was it to see Haas offload to Patty, then Patty offload to a flying Walsh, in the one play...

 

[Mick_Hancock]

V’Landys with 10 to go and the Broncos score!! Thinking about them sweet sweet ads for a top of the table clash!

 

[Nerd]

Great to get the win and even better to finally put a big score on someone. Once we cut out the silly mistakes the Dragons started to struggle.

Flegler needs to come off the bench and besides backing up for a try I thought Cobbo was ordinary.

Payne Haas what a machine. The fact that he has developed an offload is going to worry a lot of teams. The one thing I've really noticed this year is Ezra and Reece backing up any line breaks unlike past years where the runner would die with the ball because of no support.

Bit of a worry with Capewell who seems good for at least one missed tackle every game that leads to big metres for the opposition. In contrast to Riki who now looks quite solid compared to previous years.

Anyway great comeback and Go the Broncos!!!

I think to become the best the standards have to be raised. For what our forwards are capable of i thought they were well below par until that last 10 mins or so. They are a lot better than what they did tonight imo.

I thought the scoreline flattered us tbh. That last 10 mins masked a lot of mediocrity in that display. As i keep saying though, our fitness levels are way, way better than last year. That can only be good for the future.

Odd game. We were ordinary for 70 mins .........

Tough marker......

I thought we owned the 2nd half......

He has ordered an emergency board meeting to work out the game structure to optimise the "entertainment factor" of the game.

Commentators: "There is no way when the NRL were setting up the draw that they'd think it would be a top-of-the-table clash".

 

[Jedhead]

I said in the live feed if we were still in touch with St Merge at the 70th minute we'd get them. I didn't see the dragqueens wilt that much though.

Was Jensen left on the bench coz he's not 100%? Flegs had a great game and did take to their pack, but I do prefer him coming off the bench. Best game from Staggs for a while and Jesse Arthurs was so confident taking those bombs in traffic. Hope they sort the pitch out by next Friday as it was atrocious to see our speed demons fall over every second run.
