[Round 16, 2022] Broncos vs Cowboys

He's a Prop. His job is to get us up field, break tackles up the middle and give them as much as they give us in intensity. He has barely done any of that.

Okay mate, most metres, most tackles, I don't know what more you expect. We haven't lost this in the forwards, we've lost this because of 3 kicks out on the full, and about 5 knocks in catching the ball, that's about an 8 set differential right there, before we get to Mam kicking 2nd tackle twice.

We've had no possession, we need Reynolds to shake off his (valid) frustration and calm the team down, get back to basic sets for the first 10 minutes.
 
The Broncos have done well to stay in it at half-time. By rights the Cowboys should be up by 20 points but some big defensive plays have just kept the Broncos in it. Unfortunately they've just made too many errors with the ball in hand and have never taken their opportunities to turn the contest.

Second phase has been a blessing and a curse. It's largely kept the Broncos defence on the back-foot but it also did result in the only try for the Broncos so it's worked both ways.

The Broncos will have to start well to be any chance. Cowboys are fast finishers as well and I expect the score will blow out late if they don't control possession and territory better.
 
Cows have been a good second half defensive team and broncos have been good in attack lately in the second half.
 
Early days obviously, but from the 10-15 minutes of Cobbo at fullback I've been very impressed.

I can't see us winning this but the negativity on here is a bit much. We have defended like deadset demons and had NOTHING go our way. They haven't scored a single try from their offence (intercept).

One thing though... can fox sports do a wide shot of the defensive line. Either the Cowboys have 13 Usain bolts or they are a metre or 3 offside.

Yeah they're not going to do that... you could probably estimate how far offside they are by where they put the camera instead

Mam’s execution and lack of patience is alarming but I am giving him a pass mark because of some of the work he’s doing in defense

Yeah the kick out on the full was unfortunate but defensively he's been outstanding. You don't often see a 6 put on a hit like that

Haas has been outstanding this half.

Cobbo the only back doing us proud.

Reynolds shocking. Mam has been excellent outside of the two dumb kicks.

We've had 0 tackles in their 20, defended 25 in our 20 without conceding once.

If we can clean up the errors you'd think we can come over the top of them.

I don't think Reynolds will have 2 bad halves, he's frustrated, the break will reset him.

For the best prop in the game i think he has been ordinary. I dont think he has been poor, but you need more from your big money players. Reynolds and Staggs are in the same boat, they havent offered enough for their big contracts first half.

He's a bit too eager to score off every play, but I don't mind the instinct. He'll learn from those mistakes, I've been very impressed outside of the those 2 unnecessary kicks.
