POST GAME POST GAME [Round 8, 2023] Broncos vs Eels

Hot pink is definitely Reece Walsh’s colour.

 

[Foordy]

According to Arthar, all 3 tackles were the same ... so if they suspend Haas, they need to suspend Hopgood

 

[Midean]

There is too much potential for variation in defining a hip drop.
If you try to drag a player down from behind, you risk a hip drop accidentally.
This outcome has a 1000 variables, from the size of the guy making the tackle, to the size of the guy being tackled, fatigue, weather, angle of the run, the attacker dropping to the ground (like RCG) and the list go's on and on.

Short of banning any tackles around the waist and from behind, this will keep happening.

[Mustafur]

if being dragged by a player is a hip drop that is fucked.

 

[Midean]

RCG hurt the groin on the leg that hass didn't land on, and he didn't land on the back of his leg.

Yep, looked to me like he slipped in the wet grass and did the splits.
Any weight bringing him down was going to hurt in that position, let alone a monster like Haas dragging you down.

 

[Fitzy]

**** off kev put pressure on the ***** to not suspend him. WTF was that.

 

[Johnny92]

**** me, tackles like that have been part of the game since 1908. All of a sudden it's a big fucking issue.

They used to teach you to tackle by hitting round the hips and sliding down which is basically a hip drop tackle now days

Now that was Great first half wet weather footy. Really pleased with the grit shown by our team . One of many but how was Shaun Lane's absolute ruck infringement on Arey trying to play the ball, it's just so typical of Klowns numerous bias calls against us. And not one commentator calls this C*** out ever. Very impressed tonight, great win boys ,great effort in absolute shit conditions. Let's Go Broncos And suck that Gutherson.

Blocka reckons it’s a hip drop.

This is the same guy who said we kicked early in the set, it was last tackle

"Gee he's kicked early there" (Reynolds kicking on the last)
"He always pulls the right reign, doesn't he?" (It went dead and it's a 7 tackle set)

This happened within the space of 5 seconds

Pretty sure he thought they were in Brisbane most of the night too.

Got to say it was a terrible decision by Reynolds to not take that shot at goal only for us to drop it 3 tackles into the set

I have no idea why he didn’t want us to go up to 12 in front. Was madness!

 

[BroncsFan]

Watching the presser and I reckon Kevvie has handled that brilliantly.

They're pushing hard to get anything out of them for the hip drops and he returns with "the bunker had an opportunity to look at it and they adjudicated on it, so I'll leave it to them"

The gallery had nothing to return with so they started asking Reyno about the hip drops... and when it got to the 2nd question to Reynolds Kevvie stepped in and answered to take the heat off him.

That was it ... they couldn't come back to it again, so he shut the whole situation down

 

[Thelmus]

Excellent game from the broncos. I was really impressed with their start and whilst they lost their second half on the board i was stilly fairly happy considering they were down a man.
If they cite haas what will players do on the line. I would just line up a giant close to the line and rack up tries/10 minute bins as players are dragged behind them regardless if they keep their feet or not.
As i said in the game chat, whilst i have been critical cobbo and his concentration in games, he was spot on tonight and being outjumped for that try was just one of those things he will learn from.
Staggs was particularly impressive in defence.

 

[Maroon4life]

I enjoyed the game but I walk away from it wondering WTF a hip drop is and if we are going to lose 2 pivotal players to a suspension to it?

 

[broncos4life]

This duty of care crap they started on over the last 6 months is the biggest load of shit I have ever heard. They are talking about a game that by design involves massive humans running into each other at full force 100’s of times a game. What the fucking ****.

 

[broncos4life]

As Ennis just said “what we should be talking about is how well Brisbane have done this season yet we have spent the whole show taking about hip drops”
