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

[Aldo]

Commentators talking duty of care now So what happens if Kobe Hetherington snaps Cameron Murray in half again with a text book tackle but hits him that well, Murray snaps his femur? Does Kobe have a duty of care to not do that?

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?

Not even the NRL know. All they care about is noise and the reaction. PR dominates the admin now. Vlandal, Annersely and Abdo all have to go. It's sickening how bad at their jobs they are.

 

[Manofoneway]

Definitely one of cobbos best games with us

Apart from being out jumped by sivo for that try. He was outstanding

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Greg Alexander but here we are. Small men are pretty much banned from attempting a tackle on the bigger man running at speed now. The NRL are living in another reality.

I’ve never heard two dyed in the wool NSWelshman talk so much sense and support the Broncos for so long ever. Vonnie is the one arguing with them.

Another good win. Looked like we put the cue back in the rack at halftime. If it was any other ref besides Klown I reckon we would have put over 30 points on the Eels in the first half. That flop penalty that he gave against Cobbo on Gutherson was just plain bias towards the Eels.

Best game I have seen from Cobbo this year. We all know he can score a try but some of his hits in defence and runs where he was skittling defenders was just awesome.

Thought Walters went good in the first half but struggled in his second stint. Rikki and Staggs were hitting and sticking tonight. As for Haas he is just a beast.

Best try i've seen from us this year was the Reynolds, Maam flick pass back to Reynolds one. Straight through the middle of the Eels much vaunted defence.

On Haas and the hip drop bullshit, when the tackle starts both of Haas's feet are in front of RCG then RCG's momentum and RCG ducking dragged Haas around and eventually onto his side. RCG being on wet and slippery ground didn't help with him doing the splits while on his knees.

On a more positive note, it was great to see Oates back.

224m and all of them were tough runs. 65pcm.

 

[Manofoneway]

Billy was outstanding in the first half. His defense was superb.

Agree. I felt like the parra middles just ran over paix. He was pretty shit tonight paix and I'm a fan. Billy was excellent I thought

 

[Skathen]

224m and all of them were tough runs. 65pcm.

And no dick fingers, in the wet.... Excellent first game back.

Vonny thinks you can get some sort of "black and white" rule regarding hip drops...I mean are you fucking kidding me? Tackles are spontaneous and unpredictable by their very nature. Don't be a reactionary moron just because you have a camera on you.

 

[Strop]

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”

Hang on. Ennis? Michael Ennis? Bugger me!

Alicia Newton’s match summary on NRL.com is laughably bad. So ignorant of what happened in the game, and giving the Eels far more credit than they deserve

90% of fans will only be thinking of that when they assess his game.

It’s what happens when you’ve had smoke blown up your arse for the last decade. She doesn’t know shit about the game - just sit there and be the host, we don’t need more cooked opinions

 

[Scorchie]

She's paid to keep the conversation going so will lob out random scenarios. Gloss over it!

And being caught off his wing all night. Dropping another bomb. I shouldn't have to be the one who points this shit out every week. He had some great runs and those palms were so good, but he's still got the dumb in him.

Edit: Also, out jumped? Only one player attempted to catch that ball.
