It's like when you were 23 and found out Santa isn't real for the first time.

Yeah I know right...

I was 17 when I found out!

 

[noisetheory]

[Super Freak]

Santa Clause isn't real?!?

There goes the $3 I spent on stamps to send out my letters...

This topic could make a decent thread over in another sub :laugh:

Was looking forward to seeing us play all week, and today I realise that it's on Sunday. And we are getting Parra vs Panfers instead. It's like when you were 23 and found out Santa isn't real for the first time.

I always thought Santa and Rolf Harris looked like the same person so I was always scared.

There's a hundred lines there but I ain't touching it.

Yeah I tried to go for as safe as I could. ;)

 

[Danoz Direct]

Can we get back on the thread topic please

 

[Kaz]

but I ain't touching it.

Shame Rolf didn't think the same way.

[noisetheory]

even with the manly outs, i feel like this game either sets a platform for us to make a really good run or is confirmation the season is doomed to mediocrity.

Round 12 Match Preview Infographic - Broncos

is it odd that htey chose the top 'missed tacklers' from each team as part of the stats here?

again its gillett and glenn leading the way for missed tackles... hunt as well. surprised for hunt to be honest.

 

[Mister Wright]

Guess we can watch Peter Wallace and Corey Norman battle it out for the best Broncos reject.

Peter Wallace won it hands down. He was back to 2009 form with those clever inside passes and actually looked threatening with chip kicks inside own half. He is one player that went backwards when Henjack was replaced with Griffin.

Interestingly enough he pulled both of these out against Parra last night.



I'm heading to this game. Not really sure what to expect - just hoping for a competitive performance.

Competitive means controlling Tafua, Matai and Lyons, and their pet plays which are so well known that tactically it's a no brainer on how to defend against it: You don't leave your wing, you don't get sucked in by decoys and you don't miss your tackle.

Then, our attack needs Barba up behind the line looking for the ball with Glenn and Gillett and Oates in particular being set to run holes on the edges where Manly are fragile.

Thaiday to ball play close to the line working with Hunt and Hodges.

Kick to Vidot and Copley

 

[Unbreakable]

Hodges out.
