POST GAME Round 15 - Storm vs Broncos

[I bleed Maroon]

I still like the Canberra one more, but ANOTHER incredible try by our boys in such a short time frame. I love this enterprising footy that Wayne is coaching.

 

[Unbreakable]

I'm all in on Oates, he has to be starting every week imo, make him a permanent winger for the rest of this season and then transition him into the second row either next year or the year after, he's too good to have on the bench.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Amen. I can't believe how good Oates has gotten in such a short period. He has 19 fucking tries.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Bennett makes a good point in why he rested Parker and Hodges and the sort of effect it could have had in the circumstances, we already had 4 players backing up from SOO, another 2 could have been the difference from a defensive fitness perspective.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Amen. I can't believe how good Oates has gotten in such a short period. He has 19 ****ing tries.

Imagine how many more if Griffin had of used him better off the bench or had him playing off the wing more.

 

[rnabokov]

The superlatives posted so far are so well justified. The best defensive game I have seen in memory.

I still think Hunt's kicking game is too hot and cold. Today it was ordinary. Milford's superb kick for Oates is what it's all about.

After today, I just cannot see how Oates cannot be our starting winger.

Today we have clearly established our premiership credentials against a very very good side who played extremely well.

Broncos needs to get some funds together and sign Corey Oates for life. The kids got it. Runs hard and tackles hard. Always finds the try line too. Get him into that origin emerging squad next year and then debut him in 2017 if not 2016

We only re-signed him recently, didn't we?

Blair is proving a shrewd investment for the Broncos. His hit-up counts will never break records but he gets the dirty work done. He constantly harasses with kick pressure, passes well in traffic and gives Brisbane some presence in the midfield.

and I was thinking the same thing watching the game. He does a lot of stuff that won't go into the stats but is vital to the team effort.

Yeah Blair played well today, he's never going to have those massive 150m+ games, but he's consistently doing the hard yards in defence and sets up a lot of our sweeping plays with his sneaky offloads before the line.

He just has to do this every game which he hasn't been. He was great tonight. Like Reed, finding form at the right end of the season. Hope they both keep it up

Well Offer him a life extension upgrade plus a car and 10% super on top.

True though I think his been improving for a while now so there's encouraging signs there.

I'm sold on Parcell, hadn't seen enough of him to make a call but he really seems to have the perfect balance to come off the bench.

I still prefer Kodi at this stage but I'm certainly not complaining

Perhaps that's why we really haven't been giving Blair that much praise, Bennett might have instructed him that these things were his only priorities along with defence, despite what the media and fans say about it.

Either way its good to see we have real depth in the utility department.

 

[Dash]

The tackle by Parcell at the end was the play of the match. Melbourne were going to score for all money. Brilliant work by the young kid.

Terrific defensive effort all round. The stats are simply unbelievable.

 

[Gupps01]

So the Melbourne Storm deal then?
