POST GAME [Round 11, 2022] Broncos vs Knights

[Galah]

Adam O'Brien seems like the type that would go on a random shooting spree.

 

[Sproj]

Cobbo - 224m, 3 line breaks, 9 tackle breaks
Oates - 194m, 2 line breaks, 8 tackle breaks

What a difference this is to getting us up the field this year.

 

[Brocko]

Just watching the tries back, holy shit Dominic Young is rapid isnt he? Impressive speed. They need to get him in the open more often as that was an unreal chase.

 

[Galah]

Can't change a winning team, Reynolds has to earn his way back in through qcup.

 

[Skathen]

Yeah I would have been fine with them giving the Gagai try and taking away Selwyns first... But thats footy, we've been on the other end of that heaps of times.

Crazy how much better we looked when we started respecting the football. The first 60 mins was pretty average team performance thru the middle with a few shining lights on the edges..

Last 20 was classy. I was very pleased with Oates, Cobbo, Gamble & Hetherington

Also, congrats to Ezra Mam on a pretty good debut. Was a bit nervous the first half but didn't let it affect his game, he took his opportunities when they presented themselves and ended up with 2 try assists.

The silly forward passes, the dropped ball, the silly penalties. That was the kind of win as a coach you want to be happy for your team but you want to gut them at the same time. Cannot make those mistakes and finish the season in a good position.

 

[Super Freak]

Try.

 

[Spoon]

Palasia gives me 2021 vibes and I don't like it. His mistakes are dumb and unnecessary and seem to happen at the worst time. Him and Riki are the only two players whose spot in the team should be questioned.

I disagree with Riki criticism. I think he's been a vital part of our defence and seems to be running some better lines the last few weeks too.

 

[Alec]

Flegler has had a killer game with no dropped balls...feels like the team is maturing.

 

[Aldo]

Let's not forget that the ref was gifting them a free ride off their line with some bullshit penalties out of trouble all first half. Yep, it was a shit decision but nice to finally get one of them go our way for once.

 

[Viti]

As much as I love seeing Cobbo playing happy I was stoked to see him bark at Gamble to come under on his break off the knights kick.

 

[Nerd]

Soon as we started hanging onto the ball the Knights were gone.

 

[Sproj]

Oh and we need to shout out how good that team try was, that could well be try of the year.

 

[Scorchie]

Try.

I dunno. I think it’s dodgy pictured like that; maybe it needs to be ruled that it’s obstruction if the runner ends up in front of the ball player

 

[Dash]

Ball gets to the ground before his hand gets back to it. No try no matter how you interpret the rules.

 

[Morepudding]

Need our forwards to be a bit smarter. Palasia, Riki and Carrigan too many errors

 

[ZTop]

Bit of a shit game, pretty obvious in the first half we just needed to hold onto the ball and apply pressure. We finally did that in the second half.

Riki cops a lot of hate with his hands but his defence is very solid, he's a leader out there and is a solid line runner. I like him a lot..

Typical broncoshq meltdown in the first half, not sure what we expected? Knights were always going to try and be up for it and we were without Reynolds our Messiah. Some of the comments on here in the first half about mam were ridiculous, so reactionary. Give the kid a chance, hes a 19 year old attacking dynamo and obviously was going to be overexcited. I loved his involvement in defence and his running game is threatening.

Our forwards are immense when they aren't making bonehead decisions. Hetherington for example, changed the tide in the 2nd half with his directness but did the most stupid play. Carrigan is incredible but comes up with silly plays. And I'm all for giving palasia a week in reserve grade again.

Yeah that's clear separation. Doesn't matter if he has fingers on the ball, he needs to re-grip it.

 

[Harry Sack]

Selwyn just said “thanks for having me” in his post match, lol. He’s the cutest.
