Round 19 - Broncos vs Warriors - Post Match Discussion

Yep, the one that stood out for me was Johnson calling for it on the last on the right side.
They went left instead and bombed Maranta.
Who knows what may have happened if they went with Johnson.

The one more prominent for me, was when Johnson called for it on the right and Friend went left to Townsend, who hit Mannering with a short ball and he got hammered by Thaiday and dropped the ball. Johnson had a 5 on 3 overlap on the right. That would have ended our night right there.

One other thing I found interesting, was the singling out of Barba and Glenn in defence. "Lexi" he called Glenn. A few of the plays were to run the inside line on them and I think one led to the Henry try.

I love watching halves organise. Probably knows Glenn's style from being in Kiwi camp.

One thing I noticed about the game. The reluctance to tackle Johnson and put pressure on him when he was kicking. They always stop and just waved their arms around. There were a couple of times there where they could have tackled him, one in the lead up to their 3rd try I believe it was, not sure on that one. It was in the lead up to one of the Henry tries.

I hope they don't do that to Cronk. Give him time to perfect the kick and he will kill us.

Because we keep getting fucking penalised when pressuring a kicker. Sometimes because our guys hit the kicker when they're 1mm in the air, sometimes because the refs suck.
