POST GAME Round 19 - Broncos vs Panthers

[Allo]

Fantastic first half, nice to see us take advantage of our opportunities for once. Could see that second half coming. It’s hard to keep that momentum. We switched off, and it’s something we need to work on. I say if TPJ plays they don’t score at least one of those.

Getting our attack clicking, confidence in our ability and Milf’s kicking are what we should take away from that. Other than that, it’s 2pts and good PD boost

(And a giant finger to Griffin and Gould)

What's everyone's verdict on Boyd and isaako position changes? Will bennett stick with it?

WB said that would be Jamayne's worst game at FB.

If that's his worst --- let him at it.

 

[holdzy]

Sexy. I came.

 

[Jedhead]

Towards the middle of the second half our backline defence got a good work over. Exactly what they needed to get the new combinations understanding each other. Looks like TPJ got injured again though. Hope he's right for next week. Come on Gillo we're getting so close to really needing you.

Get a load of this from over at LU

Yes season over but season ended by a criminal who shouldn't be playing in the NRL. Stay classy Broncos, you're club have no ethics whatsoever.

Lmao

Matt Lodge, in his first season back, still at 22, is probably the best front rower we've had since Civo. Only McGuire at his best came close.

Lmao

It took me a while to even realise who and what he was talking about haha. Is he insinuating the game was still on at 44-18 with 5 mins to play? Lol salty fellow

 

[Huge]

If Isaako is okay then he'll be at fullback for a while. He played very well there and Boyd lokked happier. I'd say Boyd was able to direct them a little better from centre.

Overall a really good performance with a few things to work on. I wrote last week that this week would show how we're going and I for one am happy with our improvement and attitude. On to next week and hopefully we start with the right mind set, not thinking we can score on every set. I'd like to see us win Cronulla style, a grind.

This game was too atypical to pass judgement. Certainly nobody looked worse in their new position, but us piling on all those early points put the Panthers into a perpetual state of desperate second phase play and us into a conservative cocoon. And I wouldn't say the points we put on early were due to Boyd, Isaako or Kahu. We'll know more when we next play a grinding game, probably against the Sharks.

Only caught second half, I thought Isaako was close to our best, thoughts?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

As for falling off the pace in the 2nd half, yes it is not acceptable, and we realllllly need to get this cue in the rack shit sorted, but at least one of those tries you can put right at the feet of Kahu. He can't defend worth shit, and with the quality players we've got up his ass, and Bird struggling to even find a position in the side, he really needs to get it sorted and fast.

 

[Super Freak]

The officiating in the last 20 was fucking atrocious.

 

[Alec]

He was OK, I didn't think he was particularly outstanding. Didn't trouble much with his runs, but was solid in defence. Some of the forwards and Nikorima were certainly better IMO.

Great under the high ball, a bit off the mark attack wise but that was to be expected because he isn't used to the plays. Positioning was a bit off a few times there.

He had a good game at the back overall.

 

[Brotherdu]

I'm not getting carried away with that effort. The defence in the 2nd half, when the Panthers threw the ball around and ran it hard at angles and with support - our defence was utter garbage and against a class side we will get smacked if we defend like that rubbish

Yes, a win's a win but the Panthers were crap for 60 mins

We also matched them in points......i'll take that against another top 4-6 side.

 

[Super Freak]

Everyone, you're welcome.

 

[something]

Yeah I just saw him make two try savers on kikau (****...that) and stopped a very promising play dead when he tackled cleary

 

[Foordy]

Congrats to lodge on his first broncos try. I think.

apparently his first try ever in the NRL
