POST GAME POST GAME [Round 4, 2023] Broncos vs Dolphins

[Foordy]

the scoreboard is actually a little deceiving.

the more telling factor was the 4 tries to 2 in our favour

 

[Painin the Haas]

Nah, he’s replacing Brenko on the right center. Will be quite a battle with our left center(Mariner?) next season.

Cobbo so he can stay the **** away from the side line

 

[Santa]

I’m not one to beat the dead horse but how many times did the ball roll past Billy in the play the ball. It happened at least 4 times he’s looking around and they’ve already played the ball, seriously!

Yea noticed that in a couple of past games too. I think he need to step back a bit more too (and focus on the ball a bit more).

 

[Wolfie]

Nah, he’s replacing Brenko on the right center. Will be quite a battle with our left center(Mariner?) next season.

I think thats going to work out badly. Mariner is a right sided player.

 

[BroncosFever]

SOS gone for an extended time.......?

MilF no.7....Katoa no.6

Anthony played well tonight although not being the superstar. The same numptys will be critical because he didn't win the game for the Dolphins......
much the same as they did when he was Bronco and didn't win games on his own.

He kicked it straight to Kotoni who ran the length

 

[Midean]

That's just unreasonable bitterness on your spectrum......

100%, i give the same treatment to Turncoates.

 

[Mr Fourex]

I think Katoa will play 7. He's more a 7 than Milf.

Credit to Milf, he didnt actually play that bad. I thought his kick for the Kotoni try was probably the right option, just didnt work out for him. I still think if he put the work in he could still be a good half in the NRL. Needs to have the drive to do it.

I think Katoa has more legs than Milf....... he's more dangerous to run the ball
at least until Anthony gets his confidence back up.

 

[Thelmus]

A win, but respect to the Dolphins really.

Considering their misfortune with injury they did really well. We competed well enough but kept letting them in the game. That try with a forward charge, cobbos brain fade letting the ball bounc, and numerous bad play-the-balls and spine plays gone awry.
It looked like we'd get to an advantage then relax.
I think our backs in particular need some hard truths. They were chasing easy outcomes all to often. Walsh often pulls off something spectacular and he wasnt bad but has a habit of rolling the dice a little too often.
I dont want to crush that enthuiasm because it more often than not works but being a little more circumspect on those late plays would take him to another level.
I thought mam looked like he was a little uncomfortable out there.
Apart from his goalkicking (they were hard though), i thought reynolds was good and probably was the difference.
Carrigan played well but his ball play (like the rest of the side) was off. Haas was phenominal and all the forwards play well up against a quality pack.
Cobbo needs some hard truths told after that game but it can wait for Monday. Kevie might remind him origin rep players dont let a ball bounce that close to the line (and remain origin players for long)
We all make mistakes but that was careless and put huge pressure on his team mates.
Billy had a few bad play-the balls as dummy half and paix was pretty quiet, but i put it down to pressure from the dolphins rushing defence.
I suspect kevie will have a few set plays close to the ruck and perhaps some more short grubbers behind the line. We were caught out but i got the impression a grubber set play close to the posts would open them up (especially tackle 4) too.
Another ugly win but still a win and they all count.

I know that long distance try would boost it but good to see Staggs on top for metres made.

 

[Mr Fourex]

He kicked it straight to Kotoni who ran the length

Which could have gone quite easily .......either way
captain hindsight.

 

[theshed]

Fun game

 

[McHunt]

at least until Anthony gets his confidence back up.

How many times have we heard that chestnut? He looked exactly like he looked when he played for us. Did just enough to get by.

 

[mrslong]

I’ll be dreaming of that walsh pass to cobbo for a long long time. He’s been talking to Darius .

 

[Mr Fourex]

How many times have we heard that chestnut? He looked exactly like he looked when he played for us. Did just enough to get by.

Put Redcliffe back in the game with a chance to win it.....

 

[Midean]

How many times have we heard that chestnut? He looked exactly like he looked when he played for us. Did just enough to get by.

Forgot he was playing half the game, 100% he looked no better than when he was with us.
Put up a few big kicks, that fizzled under steady hands, then went missing.

When they were talking about him playing tonight before the game, i felt more confident in a win.

 

[Wolfie]

Which could have gone quite easily .......either way
captain hindsight.

Some people wont give him any credit and tbf he hasnt deserved a lot in recent years. It was an all or nothing play because they had a left winger on one leg and not many options. Its all that was on. I think the likes of Smith and Fittler thought it was a smart play. It was either going to get a result for them or it was going to fall to us, and luckily we got the chocolates.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Who’s Home????

 

[Fozz]

Redcliffe vs St George next round. I'm predicting Milf will play exactly as expected, ordinary for the majority of the game with 2-3 plays that almost pay off.
