PRE-GAME [Round 2, 2023] Broncos vs Cowboys

[BroncsFan]

He's got the tools to do it. Not sure he's got the brains.

Sounds like 80% of the squad

 

[BroncosFever]

I get the criticism of him as a player, I don't particularly share the same views but I get that.

I don't get how someone on the internet can have enough knowledge about the man to attack his intellectual capacity, that's just pure hatred and nothing else. If you're having a go at him and saying he has no brains or words along those lines, I am convinced there's nothing he can do on a footy field to change how you feel about him.

He made a few poor choices, so what? We all have done that. That's how you grow as an individual, you make mistakes.

Literally impossible that we’ll lose this. Walsh motm

Freddie made some interesting comments about Kotoni in Origin camp, last Friday night. Described him as quiet. Overall very complimentary on his work ethic, physique and sense of humour. In contrast to the perception fans had after he pulled him during the match, and then dropped him for the rest of the series.

I'm still on the Kotoni train. I'd like to see him get the ball more but I don't think it's his fault for not "going looking for it." For some reason it's not being sent his way. Perhaps blame the guy who handles the ball the most.

 

[McHunt]

Patty to score his first try tomorrow night.
0 tries after 61 NRL, 3 Origins and 5 tests has to be a record.

Pretty sure Twal still hasn't scored after 100 games or so game... Vossy is on about it all the time

 

[Mr Fourex]

Where would you suggest he look?

The Broncos lost and found box....?

Good call.
Patty is definitely the only Wally Lewis medalist to have never scored a try.

Surely you can't be insinuating Billy W

....Arey?

Outside backs can go stagnant waiting for the ball.......they can actually fall out of the game completely. Quality outside backs go looking for the ball. Kontoni should watch Justin Hodges highlight reels......then watch a few Corey Oates highlights.....and there's probably half a dozen or more outside backs that I've forgotton, that know/have the desire to get involved with the game.

Staggs is a big enough unit to take on the odd hit up in our own end....he doesn;t do that.

We don't need "hit ups" we need tries. And yes, it would be lovely if our dummy half could go "looking for" Kotoni in one of his little pointless saunters from dummy half.

So you were serious.......? Its the dummy half's fault that one of our lazy outside backs isn't getting enough ball??



FMD....that'll do me.....

You are arguing with a guy that thinks if a player doesn't score tries, he is basically useless. That's right, the logic that means Patty Carrigan is among the worst players to ever play the game.

 

[Mr Fourex]

I think @theshed has put him up to it......

Ahh yes ok... so rehashing the Patty no try stuff is because he wanted to have a chat about Billy not passing to him as well

He only has to look over the other side of the field to see what his other centre is doing.
