POST GAME Round 12 - Broncos vs Eels

[winslow_wong]

Another hot and cold performance. But a win is a win and it's only round 12. Plenty of time to get combinations going.

its a win and it keeps us within sight of the top 8. Guess we are all waiting for that break out game were we can say wow you know what we could be a chance this year.

We seem close at times but still not there yet.

thought lodge tpj and offa did really well tonight.

Also kinda think it was one of boyd better games. he ran with some venom for a change and neally got through a couple times

We are 7 and 5 but have a -32 f/a.

His attack (sua) is better and I know this will anger people but his defence at 40 tackles was pretty Gillett esk tonight

Discussion point: Are we sure that Jaydn Su'A isn't just a younger, better version of Matt Gillett?

Yes, Sua played well against the spooners... gillett has done this for years against rep sides

 

[JamesC]

On a side note, watching channel 9 post game and Josh McGuire is surprisingly well spoken.

 

[Duality]

Lodge is easily one of the top 3 broncos players this year but seems a little out of shape. If he had the dedication and drive of TPJ, he’d be easily in the top 3 of his position in the nrl!

**** out of town with the wife and had to watch on 9. Those fucking gronks, they talked about the eels the whole match. They were shit and lucky to be as close as they got.

agree with others su'a is young and raw and has a lot of potential but lets not forget gillet has been putting in those performances for years now against the best in the business on the biggest stage.

Really hope we can find room for su'a though he is a real gem

So we need another half to help the Milf.

No doubt the refs were under instructions to not give us a leg up after last week

He reminds me more of a younger, more talented Glenn.

We lost the penalty count 6-11 last week and 6-9 this week

How long did we go without a penalty? An entire half plus what

Out of shape? He just made 20 runs for 173 metres whilst defending in the middle of the field, if you want to see out of shape, check out old mate George Fai, he's like Milford on 125% zoom

locky must read this forum.

I think we got pretty lucky the Eels decided to swap Gutherson and Norman. Norman's positioning was off sometimes, made some kicks look better than they were. He probably didn't get involved like he would have liked either. Gutherson also looked lost.

 

[Foordy]

on that forward pass no try ... what were the commentators going on about... he passed it behind the 10m line and French caught it over the 10m line ... it was 1000% a forward pass ...

and BTW ... if the ball is thrown backwards, the laws of physics (which i'm confident Corey Norman is not able to defy) say it is not possible for the ball to float forward

Oh you didn't miss much on Fox. Anasta was stroking the Eels the entire game.
