Round 11 - Broncos vs Roosters

[tommy]

The guys on here are so negative. The Broncos are on tonight, really psyched up and TPJ is a beast and Staggs is epic

I avoid the live thread these days except at half-time. These days it's nothing more than a cesspool of negativity and trolls.

 

[Wolfie]

I think Boyd has been a lot better in attack

 

[Scorchie]

Yeah, he's been our best by a mile. Milf needs to stand up a be counted. Goes missing when the going gets tough.

What? Milf has been on fire

 

[_wwong]

Roberts will calm down at half time hopefully and be more focused. That's all it is, being calm and focused is what is needed

This is leftover demons from the finals game last year. He's mentally defeated by Mitchell and will only get over it if he scores a try or owns Mitchell this next half.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I think Boyd has been a lot better in attack

Not so much in defence. He's been made short work of by Keary a couple of times

 

[Reyter]

Much improved performance thus far. Against lesser teams we would likely be handily in front.

 

[Unbreakable]

I think Boyd has been a lot better in attack

I'd happily trade everything he does in attack for him being a good defender again.

 

[Wolfie]

Robert's is clearly struggling with injury imo. He isnt moving well

 

[ZTop]

I think Boyd has been a lot better in attack

Plus I've seen him run at full speed a couple of times tonight

 

[Strop]

Well, we won’t be losing him over origin.so, there’s that, I guess.

It was a great half of footy really. Not the stress filled half this thread makes it out to be

 

[Gaz]

Roosters have a fullback and a halfback. We have half a fullback and half a halfback.

 

[broncsgoat]

Opacic’s plodderness got transferred to Roberts.

Staggs looks very impressive in this small sample size

 

[Alec]

I think Bird at full fitness is the best defender against Mitchell. When he was at the Sharks he was one of the best defensive centres in the comp. So next time we play them, I hope Bird is fucking fit and in the centres.

 

[Wolfie]

I think we have done well. We are competing and playing a little more expansive imo. TpJ is the big difference

 

[Rally Towel]

Absolutely.

There's plenty to be critical of but it has been an entertaining game so far. Both teams' left edge attack proving a handful.

Roosters seem to be regularly getting the ball to Keary and Mitchell with room to move which is hurting us. Ditto our ability to hit and stick on Teddy.

Hoping Milf takes the line on a bit more in the second half.

 

[_noosh]

Roosters have a fullback and a halfback. We have half a fullback and half a halfback.

So they have a threehalfback and we have a threequarterback?

 

[ZTop]

I think we have done well. We are competing and playing a little more expansive imo. TpJ is the big difference

I think we really need to fix up our defence and we are good. We are definitely up for this game
