POST GAME [Round 10, 2024] Broncos vs Eels

[Sproj]

No charge for Staggs. Parra got two fines - funny that we were the ones constantly being penalised hey.

 

[Fernando]

what's your point.

we're still winning games. which really is impressive given we haven't been able to get any consistency with our team due to injuries.

hell, in pretty much every loss we've had, we've lost key players mid game due to injuries.

what really matters at this point of the season is getting ourselves enough wins to be thereabouts at the end of the season heading into finals

That it needs to improve?

They are winning some games. Not against good opposition though and not playing particularly well in wins against lower ranked sides.

Sportsbet odds for the premiership still holds us in high regard. Panthers are firming as the favourite. If we can get the errors down, do the simple things well, do it with energy like we did against the storm in the finals, we are a good chance. The shaky start to the year will most likely put us outside the top 4 which doesn't bode well with history.

There may be a silver lining to Arey being out. It will give more authority to Mam and Walsh. Sometimes i felt there were too many cooks in the kitchen. Might help simplify our game.

I thought Hopgood tucked the arm in as well.


I thought the call was right, but the explanation was poor. If he simply ruled it a loose carry with no clear attempt to strip at the ball, most would have lived with it.


Did those players maintain their balance? It was the right ruling since Staggs fell after playing the ball, but the officials have been lax on this in recent months.

But I seen many many time the same situation that staggs got pinned last night for, let go or basically say play on by the referee.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Still games to be played this round but right now Brisbane are leading the league for Errors, Ineffective Tackles and Handling Errors.

Yeah and this is the area we all know we need to improve in. Kevvie knows it the players know it. We will get it sorted.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

I can think of worst things I’d be unable to do without good wrist movement :)

Depends on which one, amirite?

 

[Jedhead]

Did anyone mention and rejoice that we actually had 2 goal line dropouts go our way last night? One Staggs actually secured from the kick off. It sort of went with his all round game last night I thought he was immense carting the ball back as the eels were out to sting in defence and there were a few times they dropped the shoulder into him and he still kept putting his hand up to take the tough ones off our line.

 

[Big Del]

Really not a bad performance to be honest. It was a gritty win with solid defence at times. The referee was pathetic at times. We missed alot of tackles but our defence was still really good I though apart form the abysmal miss from ezra.. much much improved from last week

Watch the replay ....
Piakura is inside him . He doesn`t close the gap that Tualagi stepped back through . There was a hint of obstruction on Piakura but not enough to reverse the try .
Piakura looked gassesd right after . Then Gosewski came on .

 

[Browny]

I’m just stoked we won while losing every stat but the one that matters

 

[Big Del]

Willison has to be the best bench impact forward in the comp right now. We get so much from him in that role. Teams just dont seem to have any answer to him after dealing with Haas and Jensen.

His defence is impressing the shit out of me .
Drives opposition forwards back wards in his tackles . Not many can do that .

 

[Big Del]

He's a little under the radar right now - the media isn't swooning over him constantly yet. Now's the time to lock that shit down though. Donuts, make sure to throw in a fresh Racoon every game he puts in over a 100m off the bench.

Matterson got reported for pulling the Racoon`s tail last night .
Willison didn`t seem to flinch ? I got a surprise when the ref said Matterson was on report ??

 

[Big Del]

I may have heard this wrong but I thought Kev said it was a tendon issue rather than a break.

I thought he said ligament ??

 

[Finbar]

The shaky start to the year will most likely put us outside the top 4 which doesn't bode well with history.

At the end of this round we will be 2 wins behind 1st, 1 win behind 2nd/3rd and equal wins with 4th - with an extra bye up our sleeve. Our run home is good too, with 10 matches against bottom 9 teams, 4 against top 4 and Manly next week.

Top 2 finish is still well within reach.

 

[Big Del]

Kevvie has said he hasn't closed the door on Tevita yet.

We can't sign him yet because we can't afford him yet, but when that time comes and he's still available, I think we're going to make an offer.

Nah .
That seems like a real good way to piss off your squad .

 

[Santa]

Still games to be played this round but right now Brisbane are leading the league for Errors, Ineffective Tackles and Handling Errors.

We also led in those stats for the whole 2023 season and we didn't do too bad

Did Matterson get a fine for pulling on Willison`s Racoon hat ?
He got reported for hair pulling !

Yeah, just a fine with an early guilty plea I think I read

 

[ell.d33]

Yeah, just a fine with an early guilty plea I think I read

Another great example of the trash fox commentary last night, wasn't mention at all it in the moment, despite everyone seeing it, then he was put on report a few minutes later, and Brandy said "yeah I saw that...."
