POST GAME [Round 15, 2024] Broncos vs Rabbitohs

[Brocko]

Piakura needs to be dropped for a stint. Mam not far off either. Sailor has no confidence needs time in cup

He needs time in cup or off the bench badly but we have legitimately nobody nrl standard to replace him.

 

[McHunt]

Ten more minutes and we would've had them.

 

[Viti]

Hold on to the fucking ball! Write that on a whiteboard and have them stare at it for 3 days on end nonstop. Wet conditions or not, we continually put ourselves in bad positions.

The live thread is always full of emotion, but I loved Cobbo’s involvement tonight. He did plenty of great things, dampened by plenty of errors.

Wolfie mentioned the same about Staggs; he wasn’t great, but his involvement was high, his defence was good.

Plug Walsh into this game and it changes everything; he doesn’t get dominated like Sailor does, he takes better options, he poses threats that open up other players.

Plug Reynolds into this game and it changes everything; Maddens kicking game was putrid, not just the actual kicking, but the positioning of where he kicks from

We are missing, quite literally, the 2 biggest cogs in this team. We all need perspective that we can’t have a system that adequately replaces BOTH of these players. Walsh without Reynolds and vice versa, we can patch together wins. Both of them out and it’s game over which is the same for any team in the comp.

There is NO team that has ever won an NRL premiership without their 2 best players and it’s crazy to suggest that we are any different.

No one is suggesting that we can win a premiership without Reynolds and Walsh but to excuse the performances of the last few weeks because they’re not there is ridiculous.

We will be out of the top 8 at the end of this round and that’s not good enough.

I notice a lot of posters holding out comments. Particularly the fan boy Posters. No name's included, as I'm sure you'll return the favour.

I said last week, Kevin will survive, but none of the coaching staff. How do we feel about the coaching staff? How do we feel with the way we play the game?

All Harlem Globetrotters like. 80 plus points on them, defend the errors?

He's back again, the Globetrotter keith who hates Kevy. Give it a rest bud.

What shits me to tears is that Walsh will front up for Origin, no worries. Meanwhile his club is in dire need of a player of his calibre to get us out of this rut and the thing is, they'll absolutely be going for his head again in the next game.

Walsh won't change shit for the Broncos. The are supposed to bigger than an individual. It's a team game.

It's on the coaching, brains trust. It was really painful to watch a team trying, but imploding.

 

[Galco]

Rogers has to be given a shot again.
Piakura is a pretender.
Not sure why Jack Gosiewski gets a walk up start on the bench.
We look too light in many positions ie Marina, Piakura.
We don't want to do the hard yards and find our fronts and get qptb
Kevie has no structures in place.

 

[Brocko]

I said it a few weeks ago…. What the **** is up with these 20M, end over end kicks from Madden??? Almost all of Souffs kicks were floating torpedoes from the belly of the ball…. And let’s not again say… “If he gets it wrong blah blah blah”
This is your job. Practice them. Use them. Or find another job.

The infuriating thing is that Madden has those kicks in his locker, he has used them before.

Need to get better moisturizer. You look like...

Ezra Mam was all we had tonight in attack, pretty easy to defend that.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

How good was Origin the other night?!
I for one think it was definitely worth it

Sack them all you reckon?

 

[Fernando]

Yeah and it's weird that when he has used them this season it's been early and he's had some success with it, but then put it away for the rest of the game.

 

[Waynesaurus]

I had thought that the dark times were passed......................alas, they appear to have returned to torment me once again.

 

[Painin the Haas]

Hold the ball, build pressure
-Kevin Walters


he’s right this is what we have to go back to but why aren’t we seeing it

 

[Skathen]

ARey made us a top 8 team, and Walsh on top of that made us a grand final team. Without them, we seem to be back to 2021. But that means with them back we can still turn this around.

This is part of the issue.

Melbourne without Munster. Riff without Cleary. Both are still top 8 teams, heck, you could take out Paps and Yeo and they'd still finish in the top eight.

The squad at the very minimum needs to be hanging onto the ball and defending well enough to scratch out tough wins without their stars. If you don't have that, you're riding on luck.

 

[Brocko]

Maybe we should try not always finding many positives in games, Kev.

Sometimes there isn't any and we need to highlight it.

Agree the performances good enough, but I don’t think you are fully appreciating how much of a difference both of them make to our everyday running.

Call it a hunch, but I reckon Penrith fans will feel better about their four straight prems than qld fans will about winning a three game series
