COMPLETE [Round 2, 2025] Broncos vs Raiders

[Nerd]

Also on big Xavier. Love his runs but he has to pull in the simple errors. Two games for two simple dropped ball errors.

 

[Brocko]

Still think we'll win if we play to a standard that allows the possession to equal up and hold the ball.

They've basically played an ambush half the milk, and got a few good bounces.

Good spray from Madge will hopefully sort it.

 

[Totally Unr3al]

Our back three forwards have missed ten tackles between them.

total lack of balance because of our mismanaged cap

 

[Fernando]

Canberra won't drop off or run out of steam. Need a huge improvement or we'll get rolled, lucky to be only 6 down.

 

[mrslong]

On the bright side Ben hunts pass selection on the left is

 

[Financeguy]

Has Riki ever looked like trying to get through the line like Nicholson in his entire career

Our 2nd row options this season are nightmare fuel…more spuds that Coles

 

[Finbar]

Foran is worse than Cronk somehow.

He seemed fine to me, he just has a thicker Aussie accent than most presenters.

 

[GCBRONCO]

I would have loved to have Taupau tonight, would have been ideal for us off the bench.

 

[Mustafur]

Hoping Piakura can do what he did in the trials and not what he did in round 1.

 

[Allo]

No, he’s a kick chaser only and that’s worth lots of money and guaranteed starting spot apparently.

Just like Piakura last year, and like every year since Fifita left, is because there’s no one better

 

[tommy]

We're lucky the score is what it is tbh. Still in it.

 

[BroncsFan]

Souths GF miss has stuffed him. Every kick feels like a coin flip now

Yep... he used to be automatic from the left touchline.... now he's probably lucky to crack 60%

 

[Totally Unr3al]

He's shit, and Jetski is somehow worse. Our second row stocks continue to be a big concern.

We spent all our money on magic beans
Let’s just hope for a gold egg laying goose at the top of the beanstalk

Walsh is a problem. You simply cant pay a bloke as much as we are paying him to not have any positive influence on the game. Always thought it was a bad deal for a player who is bottom tier on one side of his game and top tier on the other.

I'm hoping we see the million dollar player in attack in the second half.

Won't see him do anything if we get rolled again in the middle.

We do however seem to have an issue dealing with a side that niggles and grubs. This is a few times now Raiders have done this to us in recent seasons.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Get our defence in order, cut the mistackles and make the metres. We can win it.

I think there is a pattern atm, it's clear Madge hasn't got him involved in set plays, it's possibly more a coaching thing than anything else, but let's see, he is definitely hanging around the middle more like what Tedesco used to do, not really what I would say hits his strengths though.

 

[BroncsFan]

Letting their back 5 get way too many meters
