POST GAME [Round 2, 2025] Broncos vs Raiders

[Brett Da Man LeMan]

Walshs mistakes too costly.
Nothing arsey stuck like last week.
Haas was maybe 70% of what he was last week.
Walsh was shit. I remember they were about to score at one point and he stepped around the attacker rather than tackle him.
Cobbo to fb? Cuz walsh was bad.

 

[westy316]

As bad as we were, still had plenty of chances to win that one

 

[Bronx48]

No words needed.

 

[ezpz]

is about all I can say right now.

 

[Bronx48]

Are we sure the boys even knew that it was a game worth two points? Did they think that was a warm up? Yuck.

 

[Scorchie]

Knew the Fix was in when the ref didn’t bin the Raiders in the first half

 

[Wolfie]

I dont think any of our forwards have done anything to warrant being in the debate for our best player tonight. Our starting props might have made almost 300 meters between them, but we havent made a dent against their pack. The back row is bottom tier.

Cobbo, Arthars and Arey were the best of a bad bunch.

Walsh put in one of the worst performances by a Bronco in quite a while. I'm very interested to see his reaction. He had a poor year in 2024 through injuries amongst other things, wasnt at his best against the Rorters and abysmal tonight. He needs to step up and give us a reaction to get out of this bit of a rut he is in.

At least we stayed competing until the end even if we were outclassed tonight.

Oh. Sack Madge. Fucking NSW grub.

 

[Manofoneway]

First time we have not had trash opposition and we capitulate.

 

[Brocko]

Errors galore and a few too many blokes not wanting to do the hard stuff before the flashy stuff, and that lead to a horrid completion rate.

Walsh surely can't play a worse game if he tried, and we need to find something from our backrow if Haas and Carrigan aren't rolling through our opposition, as both were putrid tonight. (Backrowers putrid, not Haas/Carrigan)

Only thing positive I can take from that game is that we only lost by 10, whilst completing like shit and bombing tries and coming up against a team that played it near perfect.

Wingers were good too.

 

[_wwong]

Raiders’ gameplan is always very simple against us. Beat the living crap out of us for 20 minutes at all cost and see how we respond. With zero enforcers in our team we’ll most likely fold or Reece Walsh’s brain will implode.

Felt exactly as 2024 did. 100% they are yet again listening to the write ups they get in the media.
Our back rowers go MIA yet again. Riki and gos give us nothing.
Walsh was so so bad.
Our wingers were the only 2 worth giving a mention to.
Middles were absolutely bullied.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Really poor, forwards didn't stand up tonight and the Raiders schooled the Ref and we got what we deserved, the backs probably did well to score as many as they did considering the forwards were soft as.

Walsh needs to hand his pay cheque back for this week, woeful game from him.

I'm not sure Carrigan at Prop, Hetherington at lock and Gosiewski starting is going to work.

 

[Sproj]

Its early season, this will happen this kind of result.

The thing is, we were terrible and some of the players should hang their heads in shame (Walsh) but they didn't give up and possessed Haas looks like he's here to stay. Every bounce of the ball went Canberra's way and we could not have played worse but even so, we were one unexplicable Canberra try and one inexplicable non-Broncos try away from at least being level against a side who could not have played better or had more go their way.

It definitely isn't all doom and gloom.

 

[Old Mate]

Glad I didn’t go to the game, **** me dead, the one game that’s personal and this happens. Fuuuuuuuck duck you shit ***** fuuuuuuuck

 

[Nerd]

Could Riki be dropped and Willison be a second rower with Te Kura coming onto the bench? I'm really over Riki going to the line then stopping with that little sideways shuffle then being easily handled by the defence.

Probably was Walsh's worst game in the NRL or since junior football actually. You know you have shit defence when Horsburgh can have a game like that.

We need Staggs back and Mariner over to left centre with Shibasaki back to Q Cup.

All those 1st tackle mistakes just killed us.

Yep, just nowhere near good enough.

We just have no mongrel in our pack and i think thats why we struggle against aggressive teams like the Raiders.

might be worth giving Marty a crack. We need some mungrel up front. He impressed in the trials.
