LIVE Round 18 - Broncos vs Warriors

[tajhay]

Voting for the best players in this game is going to be tough. Can't even think of three guys who played well.

Just pick players like Lockyer and Meninga do. From a hat.

Something I didn't consider going into this one - it was a revenge game. Warriors began their patchy form not long after that loss.

Stick it, though.

Yep, that and the Broncos always find a way to lose the 'must win' kind of games.
Usually at home in front of a packed house and a spot in the finals or similar riding on it. We were down on troops and had a few backing up after origin....They need to be up for it next week so hopefully this loss will hurt enough to kick start them.

Not sure you just handed them to us as I recall we played well and won fair and square. Anyway, you guys were on fire today and absolutely smashed us to pieces. Well deserved win mate.

TBH i think both teams were poor today, just that the Broncos were worse than us today. Hopefully both improve before the finals, and both have a lot to work on.

Excuse me, near full strength.

Not even close to full strength.

Said that too many times this year, to be honest, my heart is starting to not be in it. I'll always have that little voice telling me the Broncos can win no matter what and always be a finals chance, but it's just about sunk in that we're not going to become consistent and that the mentality of the team won't solidify any time soon - something is off there, maybe Wayne doesn't even know what it is.

Your mob piled on in tackles, ours made pathetic grab tackles and let you guys offload all day. You have a variety in attack, we don't. Warriors were not poor today, outplayed us in just about every way. My one whinge would be your team was allowed to lay all over us, and we were penalized a lot in the first half for the same thing, so your boys got a roll on and we didn't. And whenever we did, we dropped the ball and fucked up.

I actually thought the refs weren't too bad today, their live calls on the no trys were bang on, not sure about anyone being penalised a lot either, especially as the Broncs led the penalty count most of the game, which kind of disproves your feeling.
I have to say though reading posts here after both losses and wins is so close to the Warriors site it's not funny.

Thanks for the game guys.

I think all footy fans are like this. The refs calls I'm talking about were the ones where broncos are laying on tackles, something the Warriors got away with and got a roll on as a result. I'm not at all suggesting the refs won the Warriors the game.

He's been shocking today but I would not go that far.

We are happy with Luke personally ;)

Of course you are, it’s a contract year.
