POST GAME Round 17 - Broncos vs Storm

[Stix]

**** it... I'm going to get pissed and watch the 06 GF

What the hell is happening? ?
Can Joey Johns shut up?
Last year we were an absolute brick wall in defence, Storm couldn't breach.
We're falling apart at the seams, they just don't care.
Has to be internal problems?

 

[Sproj]

Su'a was dreadful. I think he and Milford lost us the game. Those first two tries came off their shit defence and we just gave up after.

Let's not underrate how bad Maranta was for us AGAIN.

 

[Wolfie]

I would give Boyd, Roberts and Parker a 5 for effort. The rest i would give 2. Apart from Gillett and Maranta who i would give 0 because they were gutless.

I hate the Storm but full credit to them, even though they farted rainbows they gave us a lesson tonight and showed how far we have dropped pace with the top 4.

 

[mitch222]

I think it's time to go into lock down mode
no media no public sessions nothing
no articles in the courier mail saying shit just total fucking silence
just focus on football for the next game

Agree, he is not the biggest problem, probably not in the top 5 issues in turning the season around but there has to be better options to bring in.

This team needs a clean out. Tiny ass forwards who sit back and wait for massive units to run at them is turning to shit but what else do you expect? It's basic logic and physics. We have a winger (maranta) who weighs something like 60 kg, gets smashed every run but gets offered a new deal? And as talented as knik may be he's just too much of a midget. I really can't see how Ben hunt gets over his mental demons and his confidence would be dog crap after the hidings we've had.

Do the Broncos have a fitness problem?

They actually started that game well. They looked sharp, they were putting shoulders in tackles, they were driving players back..

Storm had players with hands on hips and hands on knees early. It looked like we were wearing them down.

Then all of a sudden, we just go to shit and before you know it, Storm are leading 24-0.

I think it's more the fact some players are mentally piss weak at the moment and just lose focus.

He's not our biggest problem by a long shot, but he's symptomatic of our biggest problem. If we don't put our best 17 on the park we are no chance. Any injury we get is like the Cowboys losing Thurston.

First game I've turned off early all year. There's more than a lack of confidence. Those fractures in the playing group, the rats and all that shit? Yeah maybe there was actually something behind it. At this point I don't know but I am pissed. Something needs to change and quick. This isn't even a shadow of last year's team. Giving up. Not putting in for the guy beside you. Injuries haven't helped but the attitude is the problem.

Piss fucking poor. So upset and disappointed. Not even angry it's that depressing. Ugh. Fucking muppets.

We started off really well, dominated the first 20 minutes, and all we had to show for it was a 12-0 scoreline against us. Destroyed the boys' confidence then and there.

Can we afford to be that drastic? Its more or less the same side that was one tackle away from being premiers.

Hunt is the halfback we have committed to, at the very least in the short term. Do we have better options?

 

[tommy]

Does the fact that we played terribly negate the fact that 5 of their tries should have been called back?

Their first one was off of a forward pass and there was another where the wingr stepped on the line and another where the chaser was offside but apart from those 3 tries the rest were just 50/50 calls.

Well if you look back at the last 7 or so years we've had the same old style of play and type of players. Yes we surprised everyone last year but that's just covered up some major problems this club has with its style of play.

I don't know what to do really, it just sucks to be the whipping boys again.

One was also from a push (Did their shoulders even make contact once?) and two were scored by offside players.
