POST GAME POST GAME [Round 6, 2023] Broncos vs Raiders

[Swordfish]

1. We played poorly
2. The raiders were grubbs
3. Grant Atkinson fucked us from the start.
4. Raiders blatant forward passes were let go
5. Corey Parker can get FUCKED. You moronic asshole shut the **** up.

 

[Santa]

Sigh. Dissapointed with the loss. Even with that last call (which was crap), we only have ourselves to blame. Raiders missing so many players too.

Hopefully this is the loss we needed.

 

[jarro65]

Canberra just outenthused us

 

[Nashy]

Why were there so many sore necks after raiders 3 man tackles?

Refs were rubbish, that last penalty is outright fucking criminal, and the Broncos played like busted assholes.

 

[Kimlo]

At a minimum that game should have went to golden point. That was a knock on and a try. Instesd the Raiders get a penalty and a 10 minute break while they were gassed and barely holding on.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Incredibly frustrating game to watch in every facet. Everything from Atkins deciding the result to watching the clunkiness of the Broncos in attack.

Reynolds practically begging for a penalty and not getting it was the story of the night. Nothing was ever going to go right, and then the refs decide the result because the sight of blood scares the **** out of them. This comp is doomed if calls like that become the norm. Taupau could do literally nothing about the situation he was put into and I don't blame him at all.


Our front row pulled a Canberra on Canberra, as in most of them took the night off, especially Carrigan. Probably close to his worst game as a Bronco. Same with Herbie who also had a shit night and Mam who was once again quiet as a mouse. Ahwell, it's a test of our resolve from here. This is exactly the sort of result that led to our collapse last season. Will they crack the sads about it? Or actually address their issues?

 

[vertigo]

That's what happens when you cant get repeat sets or kick for touch.

Just rubbish hero ball. Got outplayed by a team that got 50 on them last week.

 

[Mustafur]

Cobbo the only player who turned up imo. Forwards believing the hype and stopped running hard and looking for the offload way too often. We were just frantic and pushed the plays too much.

This is what happenes when you give Kevvie a new contract. Even the Dolphins beat Canberra.

To be fair this is the best I've seen Canberra play all year even with the ref wearing their jersey.

 

[Wolfie]

Flagler gets KOed by a spinning elbow (accidental) but Marty’s is intentional? Go fk yourself nrl dogs.

Thats my issue. Both accidental hits, so how can one be careless and the other not?

 

[the_next]

That game was the definition of complacency. Shocking performance.
Hetherington has to be in the 17 next week.
Onto next week.

 

[Mustafur]

**** me dead, that's really scraping the barrel for an excuse. If anything, we got the rub of the green there.

You need to stop jerking off the refs, this was shit by any neutral.

 

[BooKhaki]

I think that has to be the worst refereed game I've ever seen. It was literally that bad, I don't know if it effected the result or not because the shit calls went both ways.

The Rapana issue at the end, that should have been a try. It was accidental contact and Rapana dipped his head, but Atkins even got that wrong and ruled knock on, but it's the first knock on in NRL that you aren't allowed to play on?

 

[ivanhungryjak]

That crap decision was the Bunker, not Atkins. Who was in there? Klein? That was about his level of moron.

 

[Wolfie]

To be fair this is the best I've seen Canberra play all year even with the ref wearing their jersey.

Still think we have fallen into last years trap of believing the hype this game. Kevvie needs to stamp it out and just get the boys running hard again.

 

[winslow_wong]

How long before Oates gets back? What’s the bet we run out of steam just in time to play the storm at bloody AAMI park.

 

[Midean]

I love how Reynolds cops a swinging arm and Atkins ignores it, then penalizes us for far less down the other end not 20 seconds later.
I hate that there is no accountability for poor reffing in this game.

Raiders played gritty determined footy and probably deserved the win in the end, but it came cheaply through poor reffing.

Sorry to say but your boy carrigan had a game to forget. He’s trying to be link man too much.

 

[Midean]

Also you know the reffing is bad when the dipshits over at LU are backing the Broncos in the live game thread.
