Roosters Vs. Broncos *SPOILER* & POST GAME TALK

Re: Roosters Vs. Broncos *SPOILER*

And i'll say it again. I hate shoulder charges. Why is it ok to knock someone out with a shoulder or head to the head? Especially when not trying to make an actual tackle. We had 4 blokes in disneyland tonight because of it. They're not good tackles. They're soft. Unless you use arms to wrap up the player, i think it should be illegal.

Always knew you were a closet Union supporter icon_thumbs_u [icon_lol1.

Remember laughing at $BW first thing in Union he did was a shoulder charge and he got 10 in the bin [icon_lol1.

Way to open the other thread then. [icon_shru

thanks nnn for opening this thread, unfortunately none of us admins were on line earlier [eusa_doh

[icon_lol1.

No worries mate. I was just waiting and waiting for the other thread to unlock itself, but it never did. [icon_wink

Agree Coxy.

O'Meley could find himself in some trouble for that. Looked to make contact to the head from what I saw. There was an incident earlier in the year that got cited wasn't there? He has 96 carry over points as it is. Not that I care too much about that though...

Anasta is a bum.

Ennis did some incredibly stupid things tonight. Kicking on 3rd over and over when no one else was in on it. Grubbering badly himself and running himself and getting tackled out on the second tackle. Go now Louganis, I hate you so.

I really believe that Broncos are just doing enough to get to the win each week.

I think we saw in the 2nd half that when they need to turn it on they can. Next week I think we'll go up another gear and if the football gods are on our side when we play the prelim finals against one of the big teams I feel we'll be bale to find more. I get the feeling where building to something special and these wins where grinding out we arnt showing what where really capable of.

Good work tonight boys!!

 

[broncos85]

P.S as many stupid things as Ennis does he's a big reason for where we are right now!

Its like people just have to find someone to knock. ffs give the guy a break, so he's a little ill disciplined, wihtout Ennis we probably dont make the finals! Everyone is so quick 2 have ago at him well i reckon he's been playing awesome and without Ennis we'd be gooooonnnnnnneeee!!

Ennis does some good things, but he is the type of player that just irritates me. He is selfish and tries to take the game into his own hands. With Lockyer and Wallace are in the team there is no need for it, and if anything it takes away from their game.

Sure, Ennis does take a lot of pressure off Lockie and Wally, but less frequency would definitely be an overall improvement to the Broncos game IMO.

 

[broncos85]

I just dont think he deserves the flack he receives on this forum. Yeah he's no superstar and I agree with that but he's the best option the broncos have and while some of his play is quite frustrating he does produce a lot of quality football that is a big factor in our success this year.

 

[Clintos]

I never said he isn't any good. All I'm saying is he needs to make better decisions. You are right though. He does produce a lot of quality football. If he could weed out the dumb decisions he'd probably be up there with the Smith's, Farah's and Buderus'.

 

[guppy]

Not sure what else was said. All I know is, I am the Broncos' lucky charm. I've only ever attended games they've won.

I am especially effective in the second half of matches.
It seems that the more beer I drink, the better the guys play. I'm more than happy to oblige.

Same here. Two matches at suncorp when I didn't drink and we lost them both!

We still did lose when I was drinking but a 100% record speaks for itself!

Don't worry boys, my liver will get a smackdown at every game from now on.

Why is it ok to knock someone out with a shoulder or head to the head?

It's not ok and should have been a penalty. Actually he shouldn't have been playing this week because he did something similar last week.

Agree with you 100%.

still makes more ground than most on returns.

That's true about K, but other teams know how lethal he can be and I reckon they deliberately try to hurt him, and his predictability makes him such an easy target.

Maybe just try to angle his runs away from straight up the middle a few times and then step as the defence is on to him?

As for those shoulder charges, they looked like they were shoulder and elbow and you don't go to Disneyland unless there's contact to the head. Bad.

Sour grapes anyone?

Rooster Shillington accuses Broncos of dirty play

http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegrap...001023,00.html

ROOSTERS prop Anthony Shillington last night branded Brisbane's forwards "dirty little grubs" and declared his side would extract revenge if given another shot at the Broncos this year.
The finals kicked off in brutal style at the SFS last night - and there was no let-up in the Roosters sheds as Shillington took aim at "cheap shotters" Michael Ennis and Corey Parker. The Roosters enforcer debilitated Parker with what was arguably the hit of the season in the 37th minute before revealing his motivation to The Daily Telegraph.
"They were dirty little grubs, Ennis and Parker," Shillington said. "We were copping all the cheap shots out there - elbows to the head, our faces held down.
"I hate playing Brisbane now. I used to really enjoy playing them, but they've had a change in personnel. All the upstanding blokes like Webcke and Civoniceva are gone.
"They are all cheap-shotters now. I think Benny Elias was a bit like Ennis. Good luck to him, but we aren't just going to take it."
Pumped up like they'd been invited to a Mr Universe convention, the Roosters produced more big hits than Whacko Jacko in the first half.
Mark O'Meley led the way, his chrome dome bearing down on Broncos forwards like a bowling ball into tenpins. The first to fall was Joel Clinton after just three minutes. Clinton accepted a hospital pass - no, a morgue pass - from Ennis, before being sent into rigor mortis by O'Meley's shoulder.
It was a thunderous start to September, a signal more reliable than the budding flowers and warmer days that spring has finally sprung. Clinton staggered off, but the Roosters continued hitting like a mother who had lost control of her wooden spoon. O'Meley smashed Ennis in the 12th minute, drawing blood for added effect.
But the best came just before halftime when Shillington obliterated Parker. Brut Big Hit of the Year right there. Give that man's underarms a lifetime supply of deodorant.
Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett implored his men needed to "stand up" to the Roosters, who he later claimed were "taking guys out off the ball". But Shillington insisted Ennis and Parker crossed the line.
"All the dirty stuff started after Ogre's first hit," Shillington said. "My job is to back that up. It was good to feel that dominance."
Provided two of the top three ranked teams win this weekend, the Roosters will survive and Shillington is already counting on a sequel to last night's epic. "We're confident that if we meet them again we can definitely give it to them," he said.

He would be a superstar if he just played and left the crap out of it. His problem is he wants to be a superstar and is trying to make it happen instead of letting his football do the talking.

I agree he was fantastic for us last night and we wouldn't have won without him.

 

[gUt]

Great article. Pity they forgot to mention that most of the Roosters' big hits were to the head.

O'Meley smashed Ennis in the 12th minute, drawing blood for added effect.

Yeah with his fkn knees.

great game last night. We were sitting right next to the chook pen which was great to hear them cheering till the 2nd half.

Our forwards didnt aim up until 2nd half, we will have to start better next week.

Ennis did alot of stupid things but did some great things, but we all expect that to happen these days. I just cant stand his suicide passes that got Clinton and almost parker knocked out.

Kicking game was the difference in the 2nd half.

Ohh and i go to meet Webcke before the game too, something i never got the chance to when he was playing.

And good to see some of the forum members get a win during the halftime break. What did you guys win anyway/ Some1 should have pics of it.

great great night.
