POST GAME [Round 13, 2023] Broncos vs Warriors

[Swordfish]

Hated the last 10min.

What’s with the pitch evaders? That start-stop killed the momentum for us. Another example of us preferring a fast game instead of those silly stoppages.

Weirdly, the entire game sort of looked like they telecasted slower than normal speed.

Take the 2 points & fly away!

Why does every game turn into a circus?

Cause the refs are

 

[theshed]

It’ll do

 

[Strop]

Cause the refs are

That’s an insult to clowns

Put that finish all on Staggs head. The rot started when being a lazy shit he let the ball bounce and tried to trap it with his foot instead of making the effort to catch it on the full. 2 one on one misses on his opposite number and we were only saved by some dumb play from one of the Warriors unnecessarily holding Mariner back.

Walters and Paix have again swapped as good/bad players. Paix had a good game and Walters was back to his headless chook play from dummy half. He made one run from dummy half that was good and the rest were just a waste of a tackle. Walters has to stop trying to go high in defence when he's the first defender. He's too small and the big Warrior forwards were just carting him up the field at will.

I though Sailor was possibly our best player and great games by Jensen, Reynolds, Maam and Riki.

Staggs defence was just abysmal all through the game like his head was somewhere else tonight.

I don't Think Sutton is biased he's just a very, very ordinary ref. Some of the calls we got early in the game were just plain wrong and same with some of the calls that went the Warriors way after that.

Getting a win over the in form Warriors at home and missing our Origin players is huge. Getting them at this time instead of a bye or one of the other Origin weakened teams year after year after year smells fishy.

 

[Brocko]

I will say I'd like to see us do some more practice on short kick offs and dropouts.

The success rate of short ones against us must be very high.

 

[Culhwch]

Wade Graham saying on Triple M that the refs ask both captains at Fulltime if they want to challenge and must wait the 10 seconds before blowing fulltime.
Funny how shit like this never gets communicated to the players let alone the fans.

Yep, that's a practically ancient rule. Dates nearly as far back as the dinosaurs.

There were dinosaurs in July last year, right?

Piakura just hasn’t been able to make the leap, and I don’t think he’s going to at the Broncos. Disappointing.

Billy needs to come off at about the 30min mark, he was gassed and it showed.

 

[Organix]

What an absolute damage control post game interview that was for the NRL. Who is that pommy interviewer who asks such leading questions? Reynolds was barely having it. Kevvie obviously under a bit of tighter orders.

Can't believe he got a 400K 3 year deal before playing a game. One of our worst contracts.

No I can't believe it because it didn't happen.

 

[1910]

Some positives like goal line defence and Reynolds really took control but some very very worrying things too.

Probably what you're going to get with five guys out but doesn't make it anymore watchable.

Handling was just terrible from both sides.

 

[Scorchie]

***** up a try by loitering in the line. Leaves a massive hole to let in a try.

**** off.

Yet, the Warriors did the same thing v Bulldogs and they had their try awarded!

 

[Battler]

Loved the bunker forensically searching for a way to disallow the Riki try because they couldn't rule on the 'forward' pass, a pass that some hookers throw 30+ of a game.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Got the win but **** me that last 10 minutes could have done without. My friend said we had it in the bag after our last try...........when he says that I just shake my head and know we are in trouble.

I think you need to find new friends

 

[Scorchie]

The club is culpable too.

We basically gave him a contract that screamed "congrats kid, you've made it".

When in fact you've achieved jack-shit. When that happens you get tonight's performance.

Our worst contract. Said as much for 2 years.

And yet if he had signed for the Bulldogs at the time, you’d have blown up with dramatics the same as everyone did about Coates.

Hes played three games.

 

[ivanhungryjak]

Hated the last 10min.

What’s with the pitch evaders?

Wouldn’t pitch evaders run away from the field?

Shout out to Kurt Capewell.

Bar a few magic moments, his performances this season have been substandard - but tonight, I think he was one of our best. Really stepped up with our triumvirate of big boppers missing.
