POST GAME Round 15 - Storm vs Broncos

[Kimlo]

Storm probably put in their best effort of the season, and we still won. That's amazing for me. And before anyone says Slater/Cronk, I'll say Parker/Hodges.

And James Gavet!

 

[Browny]

Amazing effort today! Sweaty hands throughout the whole game. Jeez Cameron Munster is a lot like Billy Slater! Elbowed Hunt in the face, took someone off the ball when jumping for a bomb and got away with it all. It's uncanny!

He even got the penalty after elbowing Hunt.

So happy. Thought they were in on their last play

16 men, plus captain and VC out. gutsy, gutsy win.

Most other days Melbourne win big, esp with Slater and Cooper. So easy too keep a lid on this one. gutsy win, but if Storm pull it off, you'd have to say they were better overall.

You would have to think Parcell is the utility option now, even with a fully fit KNik. Gives everything KNik does in attack, but his defense is miles better.

With Hodges and Parker to return, you would think Vidot + either Maranta or Dodds will go. prefer Oates on the wing, and Dodds still in the team. So Maranta may get unlucky again. Still not sold on Wallace, made a couple of bad errors, but really no choice here for a bench prop unless Sam is full time prop.

Thought Cam Smith was best player on park by a big margin. For the Broncs:

McGuire, Macca, Gillett

Best game I've seen from Blair, ever. Milford still a big work in progress, with way too many errors, but is getting good vision in attack. Reed played great in defense again, but still one dimensional attack.

Just got home from seeing us finally beat the Storm and IN Melbourne!! And I was there live!!! I'm so pumped but will have to wait to post more thoughts until I've calmed down!!

And to whoever said we are still a year away from the premiership, we are actually about three months!!

Koroibete/McClean..

But you're right. After seeing how committed we were in defense, I don't think Cronk and Slater would have made a difference.

 

[Sproj]

And can people see why I keep picking Oates in my origin side?? The kid is ready!!

It's hilarious how the amount of hate I receive from opposition fans on LU can be directly correlated with how the Broncos are doing in the comp. The higher they are, the more hateful shit I cop. It's glorious butthurt :lol:

Which centre on the field was better than Reed in attack? Chambers certainly wasn't, Reed absolutely shut him down.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

It's a shame that Dodds will no doubt drop off when Parker returns, he had a fairly decent game for mine.

Can't believe he is on report.

 

[Broncoman]

Forward tackle rate

McGuire; 47 tackles
McCullogh; 56 tackles
Blair; 41 tackles
Glenn; 32 tackles
Gillett; 45 tackles
Thiaday; 28 tackles

Off the bench Wallace made 14, Parcell 25 and Dodds 17.

On top of the 47 tackles McGuire also made 15 carries and made 162 meters (most of any Broncos player) and busted 3 tackles. Considering he is backing up after a brutal Origin game that is a great effort in any one's books.

where are you getting that? on nrl.com it has macca 68 tackles. on nrlstats.com (which used to be the official stats provider, bennett made reference to their stats in the presser) they have him for 70..

Nope. Running hard and shutting down Mahe Fonua does not earn the 20 year old a spot for Queensland yet mate.

People on this forum will say anything too prove he hasn't been one off our best players this year.

I've ran out of surperlatives... That was the best defensive disppay I've seen... Ever
