I said at half time that we had a lot to be proud of. I thought we had heaps of heart and did everything we could to keep ourselves in it despite having so many outs.

Ended up being one of the best wins in the clubs history.

Willison was unbelievable. The only forward in our team who ran over 100m. Did the job of 3 men
It was a ground out win. The fact we weren't beaten well all things considered is impressivel
 
Ezra Mam, superb stuff. The Grand Final hat-trick player is still hiding inside him there somewhere and tonight we finally saw a few glimpses of that.

Staggs just goes from strength to strength. It’s wild how not that long ago, he was close to a 50/50 retention call over Xavier Coates, and probably not that far off being in the same boat with only Cobbo 18 months or so ago. It’s ironic that the other two have seen more Rep footy because if Staggs grew up in Queensland he’d probably be on track for like a decade long run in a Maroons jumper.
 
Players missing all over the place, one that didn't even need to be, Arthars and Jensen picked a hell of a week to get injured, possibly THE worst front row the Broncs have ever fielded, referee had a howler and the Dogs got away with murder, Cobbo is a screaming dud who should never play first grade for us again, Reyno had a shocker (although the Dogs were allowed to bully him while offside ALL night)....This was just one of those nights where clearly the mandate was to do everything possible to piss off Broncos supporters.

Forget it and move on. All the better reason to make a mess of the Titans next week.
Kikau got away with two strips. Reynolds kicking out twice. Bulldogs touched by God in the first half.

Galvin is our Walsh in over playing his hand. Such character from us. We just kept believing. I saw that defence the whole game. The second try from the dogs was a luke. Broncos are on. Bulldogs are pretenders.
 
Ezra masterclass in the final 20. What is most impressive is he did it by himself. Reynolds and Cobbo were basically passengers.

Amazing comeback. Willison was huge. Riki’s best game in a long time and piakura showing where the hype for him came from.

Kobe and Gos showed they are not first graders. We really need to move them on.

Hopefully Cobbos last game in a broncos jersey. Reynolds needs to stop doing the early kicks and show some better leadership.
