POST GAME [Round 2, 2024] Broncos vs Rabbitohs

Our lads are emotionally & physically drained by the dreaded trip to Vegas. Nothing good has happened for us. It did more harm than good for mine. Don’t reckon most of them are fully fit to play the long season ahead.

It may still be R2 & long way to go but R1 and the shit nonsense around is no good to us.

They honestly look exhausted….. it’s going to be a long season if they don’t fix this shit up
 
The Good:
  • Cobbo, has learnt from last match and had a great game. Kudos to him. I had doubts he would learn quickly.
  • Baker, solid role - did what was needed. Good value.
  • Carrigan, machine like normal.
  • Arthars, clinical and simple.
  • Mariner, bright future for this man.

The bad:
  • Marty needs to calm down with the offloads. Its almost like he has forgotten he is a big strong unit, focus on meters forward rather than second phase will bring huge benefits. If his eye isn't on the receiver - hold it!
  • Hetherington had a shocker.
  • Smoothy was clunky and his passes were either forward or wide. This killed early set momentum early in second half.
  • Reynolds, knee doesn't look good. Put him on ice.

To Change:
  • Arthars to FB. Mariner possibly later in season depending on Reynolds recovery. Oates to Wing.
  • Walsh to 7. Its earlier than expected, but his play in the line tonight showed he can do the job. It doesn't matter on the number, but he has strike. All that's needed for him to be in the halves is a calming of excitement in pressure moments. Its almost a Lockyer late career situation. He can do the job - but only with mam taking more role of game management to let him play free.
  • We still need another impact backrower.....Thin on the edges with rotation. Gives me Melbourne 2023 vibes.
  • ***Assuming Reynolds is injured***
 
Billy tonight was pretty poor. Back to the poor version of Billy, nowhere near the player at the back end of last year.
He was trying to compensate and trying too hard. Mam is off the boil at the moment. Even in Vegas Mam had a shocker, its evident in the attack he is missing.
 
Big Ears:

- "Can't fault the effort"
- Had great defense
- Without saying his name, singled out Ilias MULTIPLE times
- Reporter trying to get Haas suspended for getting a hurt knee or something - this was weird
- "Gotta get our stuff right as we're a very good side as we showed tonight in patches"
- Murray: "We defended our errors really well"

I'm still on Demeets for first coach sacked.
