The massive dildo who posted the headline only was trying to make you mad. He does it all the time. It's what's called "clickbait."
I’m going to stay neutral on this one as it goes both ways regarding media. I just know more often than not the broncos cop haymakers for doing nothing.

However I should always read the whole thing before commenting.
 
I thought Piakura was sensational.

He runs such good lines. His decoy work for Hoeter’s try was beautiful. Then obviously his own try was great too.

The only player I’ve seen get penalised for having such a good tackling technique - he’s a halves worse nightmare. Absolutely nothing illegal about his hit on Sexton

He’s really matured over this season

we're finally starting to see the potential we were all told he had for years, on a much more consistent basis.

it's so good to see
 
Now imagine Walsh being tucked in behind mam….this is the Madge coached side I was hoping for.

That’s nightmare fuel

Every option is a dangerous one.
Piakura hitting a hole
Walsh running
Hitting Shiba in a hole
And then there's Karapani sitting out there unmarked.
Having Walsh just out the back will have Piakura running into space most of the time.

Piakura is nailing it recently.

Everything else about this game has been said already. Put Cobbo in the catapult. He's done.

And the simplest option the thing karapani does well…..actually stay deep….its shockingly obvious how important and simple it is, yet so effective.

And He's actually awake for the play as well, seems to have some footy smarts about how he goes about things.
Same can't be said about Mariner on the other wing though.
 
Even when you take the commentary post game while they say bulldogs threw it away, dogs were miles better etc.

2 of their 3 tries are avoided if we have a qcup level fullback.

Yes they were better and deserved to lead, but we showed heart and effort in defence for 60 bloody mins and somehow found energy to come home like a freight train on the back of Ezra.

Worth a rewatch that last 20 folks 💦💦
 
some gems from the kennel when we starting making a comback. sleep well all.
