Round 2 - Broncos v Cowboys - LIVE Discussion

[Ned Ryerson]

The halves are useless as per usual, i doubt we will be able to hold on in this second half. Cows will really turn it on.

 

[GCBRONCO]

so much this... wtf was he thinking... still fist pumped tho

I don't mind them throwing the ball around when your late in a set, but when you get a repeat set from it, the most important task is to retain that set, taking a tackle there doesn't cost us.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Well we're by no means playing terrible, that's the important thing. Wooden spooners? Get off the turps.

 

[Manifesto]

Our halves have improved from last week though, and I think Hunt is kicking a bit better than last week. Remember that Thurston has had a couple of poor kicks tonight as well, so its not as if Hunt is kicking so much more terribly than others.

 

[Unbreakable]

I honestly don't think a genuine Five-Eighth is going to help Hunt that much, he's the dominant half, he needs to be taking 90% of the kicks, and he's quite simply not good at kicking.

Hoffman is also rubbish and was completely invisible up until the try assist to Vidot, we just need to experiment with some other halves, I know we don't exactly have anyone breaking down the door, but they can't perform any less than these two, it's physically impossible.

I'm happy to wait a week or two more for Kahu to return, and give him a fair crack at Five-Eighth, but Hunt must be running out of chances, already.

I agree with this in general too, last week they barely had an impact on the game for anything from a positive perspective, tonight they have taken some poor options yes, but there are a fair amount of positives been shown as well. Lets wait and see how this plays out.

 

[Sproj]

Oh and Copley is an absolute gun in the making. He'll be close to origin.

 

[BroncosFan_Corey]

Anyone else really liking Vidot?

 

[Culhwch]

Hey can someone help me out, which end were the Broncos defending in that half, Milton Road or Caxton Street??

Caxton St.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Yep, absolute bargain. Lets hope he continues to improve, he could be one of the best wingers in the game.

1 and a half games in and Hunt is running out of chances. What a laugh.

We look okay so far, without being brilliant. Barba needs to touch the ball more and our big guys need to make more meters up the middle. We look dangerous on Copley's side almost every time.

 

[Browny]

Still think at times we are too flat with passes behind players emphasising it. Just switch Barba and Hoffman already. The halves are the only real issue.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yep, absolute bargain. Lets hope he continues to improve, he could be one of the best wingers in the game.

His always had potential, never understand those against the punt wasn't like we paid overs for him.

 

[Bucking Beads]

Dumb few minutes from McCullough

 

[Alec]

We need a kicking coach and a brains coach.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Good start so far.

 

[GCBRONCO]

And just as I say that, penalty.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Well done boys.
