POST GAME [Round 18, 2022] Broncos vs Titans

[theshed]

Great choice on punting Isaako as well to buy some cap room. Guy can’t even get a start in the worst team in the comp and we haven’t missed him.

I was raging about Bullemor and that has turned out to be a correct decision too

The best part is Titans took on his wage. Crazy good deal for us.

Imo, Tesi just has no positional sense in terms of his defence and he just doesnt know how to organise. They are big problems if he wants to play either fullback or center really. There was a stage yesterday in the second half where he was just running around after the ball like a headless chicken.

Sadly for him, we have clearly identified he isnt going to be our fullback as we have gone back onto Reece Walsh. He isnt going to play center as we have Staggs and Herbie there, and if Herbie leaves we have invested heavily into Selwyn. Doesnt leave much room for Tesi. Too much hype around him and he hasnt lived up to it. Its still possible he can develop, but i dont think its going to be here. I think he needs a team thats going to go all in on him and back him.

didnt he say something like 'ill follow you my brother' or something when fifita signed with the tits?
maybe he ends up there lol

Fair no try. It was a technical double movement, it doesn't matter whether it's one motion or two.

The ONLY thing that matters, is if the arm was promoted after the point of the ball touching the grass, which it was, you can see from his shoulder that he moved his arm after the point of the ball touching the grass. There is no requirement for "momentum" to stop, then move after that, the only time momentum matters is if they hit the ground and momentum bounces them over without them moving their arm forward.

But as far as the try goes, ball hits the grass, after that point, he moves his arm forward which is a promotion of the ball without momentum, so it's a no try. It's a technicality but it's absolutely the right call.

Some folks don`t know the rules is my assessment .
Then it is all a conspiracy against the Broncos . And if it was a Sydney team it would be OK . FFS !

 

[Big Del]

Bollox! His arm is making one movement as he reaches out.

After it touched the ground it`s dead .
Same with passing after the arm carrying the ball touches the ground .

 

[Browny]

How about we take the conversions quicker? Stop the bunker ruling on it

 

[Big Del]

It doesn't matter if it's one motion or not, the only part that matters is if he moves his arm forward after the ball makes contact with the grass. It's an unfortunate rule for Hosky because he deserved a try but it is what it is. I'm not going to bag the refs for a correct call.

He`ll score plenty in times to come if he stays fit .
Could teach Riki a thing or two about running between players and not straight at them .

You can't convert until it's try confirmed.

just another one for the niu haters , have a look at Reynolds try . Brimson not even close ! it's what happens when you defend in the line .

Yeah .
That`s what I`m thinkin . The game has evolved . Some fans here haven`t evolved with it . The FB plays in the line now . Not behind . That`s why goal line defence is so hard to penetrate these days . And centres even locks and props are fielding kicks behind the line .

An off load on the line often leads to a try because the FB is defending an area in the line not roaming behind the defence .

Ah ok

Huge Kudos to Palasai when he continued to run with Brunson on that big break - he kept that passage so Nui could tackle Brimson. Sort of thing Haas was doing at about 1/5th of the cost

So are we now to understand that if you slide to score a try and ground the ball short of the line, that is also a double movement?

But if you are tackled onto your back you’re more than welcome to just spin over and score a try

Glad someone mentioned this - it was a massive effort from a big bloke who had been running hard all game. Showed some good toe too!

Watched the match replay from last night and thought 2 things: one I don’t think the Titans 2nd try was legit as they show it reaching the line and 2, Hosking was denied a fair try as he had both momentum and his arm never fully stopped. I’ve seen plays where a player has been fully “tackled” yet allowed to play on as they fought off the defenders. It’s too subjective which is no way to run a “professional” sport.

(The farcical rules by the NSWRL make the WWE more believable and “unscripted”)

Regardless of how we are winning, these two points we keep collecting do so much for our confidence and ladder position.

David Fifita really needs to get out of that club and get a fresh start before his career fades away into nothing. Knowing how devastating he is it's so sad seeing the the tits just give him the ball from a standing start and expect him to score.

I really hope they get the wooden spoon and anyone involved in the Fifita signing gets the sack for paying him 1.2 mil a year simply to try and get a "win" over us.

I wanna give Ryan James a wrap i really thought he did a great job for us last night.

Also was good to see Payne on the sidelines with Patty looking happy. Will be interesting to see how he plays when he returns for us. Maybe a little time away has cleared his head and he'll come back to his early season form. Can you imagine our pack with Patty and Payne both at the top of their game? Throw in Jensen, kobe and flegs then wow.

To add commentary to the Tessi debate. One thing I'll credit him with is he's a ball of energy in attack. Supports every play, fills in at hooker, takes some hard carries

I feel the key to unlocking Fifita for them is basically for them to get a Reynolds. You pretty much hear everyone of our players and they all talk about the difference he has made both on and off the field. We have done a lot right since Donaghy and Ikin have given Kevvie more help, but i still cant help thinking you take Reynolds out of the equation and we are probably battling for that 8th spot in the table. Maybe Foran will be that for them, hope not but he could be.

They are currently on the Seibold path (all money in forwards with a young and experienced spine)

although they are attempting the Kevvie path next year, however they'll be attempting it with Foran instead of a leader like Reynolds

apparently they were offered pearce last year , probably should have taken him for 2yrs . not the best option but better than foran and would've been a yr earlier.

Didn't Tohu Harris score a try against us in similar fashion to Hoskings no try? I believe he was with Melbourne at the time, I remember losing my shit when they awarded that as a try because it was clearly double movement. Maybe my memory's fucked
