Round 14 - Broncos vs. Tigers - LIVE DISCUSSION

[GCBRONCO]

Wallace has been absolutely dismal tonight, deserving everything he cops tonight so far.

 

[noisetheory]

i still think prince should be the out and out 7.

 

[Viti]

Mate, Hunt was by far our worst that night and completely killed whatever chance we had in the opening 20 with even worse kicks than what we're seeing from Wallace.

Ideally, it'd be great but I'm not sold on Hunt this season. I want him to develop his game in the QRL.

Hook really needs to wake up to himself and do this already, we have 2 genuine hookers who can really provide some spark off the bench in Granville and Baptiste that could easily do the job and give Hunt time to develop in the Q Cup.

All 3 of the halves are mediocre at their absolute best. We need more ball playing in the forwards to make up for it if we want to win more games than we lose.

ala Bulldogs.

 

[Browny]

Thaiday 5 runs for 34m WTF!!

The C against his name is a hinderance

 

[rnabokov]

Norman looks soooo slow.

 

[Alec]

ala Bulldogs.

Yeah, pretty much. Hannant is certainly capable of it, in the two games we tried it last year he was great at it.

 

[Big Pete]

Because he's been involved in the ball play...

It hasn't been especially polished but the stats aren't doing his contribution justice.

I agree.

He needs to steer the ship around.

He's a much better organiser than either Wallace or Hunt.

I really like Hala. Is he eligible for QLD in future?? Imagine him and Big Papa on the bench...."oi Gallen, I've got some boys for you to play with..."

Yeah I'd love to see gallen take a swing at Hala, bloke is a mountain. He plays with a hell of a lot of pride in the jersey too. I just said to my mate that there are a lot of shit things I would do before putting my hand up to be tackled by that unit

 

[Kimlo]

First game we're winning in a long time and I'm missing out... :001_rolleyes:

 

[GCBRONCO]

15 runs according to NRL Stats (though runs includes hit-ups and everything else), but that is outstanding.

Sometimes its hard to get an exact number but regardless it doesn't take away from what his done tonight so far as you say.

And I got a spare seat spwn lol

 

[_wwong]

Hook is way too loyal to his under 20 graduates.

 

[jarro65]

Yeah, pretty much. Hannant is certainly capable of it, in the two games we tried it last year he was great at it.

Both Hala and McGuire appear to have adequate passing skills as well, so it could certainly be tried.

Absolutely. And Prince at 7

Thing is, we have that talent!!

All our forwards can pass. Thaiday, Parker, Hannant, Gillett, Glenn, McGuire, Hala's showed it tonight - there is no reason we can't play like that.

Except the coach.......


EDIT: Early in the game you could actually hear the defence call "ONE-OUT!!" as one of our one-out forwards was running into their line. Piss poor. Thank **** things have changed, tonight at least.

 

[coreyh88]

Some positive signs from the backs and parker and gullet are carrying us. I liked seeing some line speed at one point but once we got the lead it went away. The tigers are actually playing a really good brand of football,short passes at the line, they're just having a poor kicking game. Wallace' long kicking game has been great but he's under too much pressure from Fulton. Prince and Norman should do some kicking. And we should stop over relying on second man to the left Fulton keeps reading it and smashing Wallace. Too bad Wallace can't think for himself and get Glenn running back on the inside or something. He even double pumped with Fulton about two metres from him.
