POST GAME Round 2 - Broncos vs Cowboys

[ZTop]

Essesse and TPJ were great. They are nailing down there bench spots for certain. I just don't like both Arrow and Glen on the bench. Not sure what Arrow offers. At least Glen can run some lines and is utility. Not sold on Arrow at all.

I agree someone like Nikorima or Marshall would've helped heaps

Seriously...?

Arrow was immense off the bench, his contact in defence was among the best anyone tonight and he really stepped up when Gillett went off.

I thought all the bench players played well, plenty to like moving forward.

^ stop living on 2015, we're not the same team, not by a long shot

we're a middle of the pack side that completely lacks the polish and attention to detail that the serious, modern, contemporary teams who're serious about winning a comp, sides have...

12-12 will be a good result for this collection of misfits .. meanwhile, the modern day coaches like Green, Robinson et al will have their sides doing the things that win comps in this CENTURY

What the ****

 

[bb_gun]

The old doomsayers are out in full force. How is this game any indication of the remaining 24 games? The Broncs were amazing tonight and if not for the usual opposition leg up's we win without a doubt.

All the haters should **** off from this site forever. You know who you are.

 

[Danoz Direct]

TPJ and Ese'ese were massive for us and when they were on we were on top.

Also thought Hunt had a great first half, but then went missing a bit in the second but hopefully he can build off this performance.

Really happy with Milford performance will only get better.

The real exciting thing for us is we have so much improvement in us, especially our attack. Once we get Demetriou's attacking structure down pat we will be even better if we continue to play with this attitude that we have been.

He was good but I would've liked someone to come and on and create something unlike Mccullough

 

[cakeGG]

The rematch will be the exact same. GP with the **** kicking a field goal. Can't upset the bogan scum crowd up there. Prob proceeds to cost us a top 8/top 4/minor prems spot too. This shit will not end till the fucker retires. After that I wish 2016 Newcastle form on Nth Qld, that must last forever, cause **** them.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

For the field goal attempt, we just dont snap the ball back to him quickly enough. We always float it which give the chasers plenty of time to get to him.

The issue is that we haven't got a half who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck, when it's needed, and direct runners where to be and where to get to, to ensure they get a good crack at drop goal.

For example, all our shots at field goal were from the hooker passing left, to a right footed kicker.

A right foot kicker, trying to drop a field goal from the left side of the posts, requires them to bring the ball in first and then release it down to the foot. Thurston kicked both shots from the right side, which allows you to catch and drop straight to the right foot. Quick release to the foot.

By kicking on the right side, you are also pushing momentum with your body, away from the incoming defenders. Kicking from the left side of the posts, means you have to stop and then push forward with your kick directly into the incoming defenders which makes it infinitely harder.

Little things done perfectly = clutch plays. Thurston has it. Milford/Hunt, not yet.

 

[Smokin' Joe]

Also, Ese'ese showed tonight what he is capable of. Huge future for him I feel.

 

[broncos4life]

**** me, this is next level.

 

[Wild Horse]

Yep, we beat ourselves again. We bombed a chance or 2 there.

Some good signs though boys.

I know it hurts. I don't know why at 36 years old I still get so excited about this stuff. Gotta chill out. It's just a game lol.

 

[2ndPhase]

Overall though there is no excuses for not being top 4. We showed enough tonight. Just work on our bench a bit and tighten up on our centres performance.

 

[Super Freak]

Honestly, I'm embarrassed.

How the **** could we not win that? How?

We had so many chances and just blew it every time with dumb play.

We are meant to have one of the best rosters in the game and we keep finding a way to lose when everything is literally going our way.

This isn't rust. This is just a team that has no fucking idea what to do and relies on luck to win these contests.

They were down to 14 men and we still couldn't get over the top of them.

Every team needs a player like arrow who can work his ass off defending. He's got more than that but at this stage what he does is fine. Its not setting the world in fire, but i havent seen him stuff up with a brain fade either, and every offload he's done has hit its mark. Give him time.

Hunt never will imo. He isnt a kid anymore, he is 27 in a few weeks. I dont see a great deal of improvement in him now.

I still think the delivery to Milf for the field goals is just too slow. Cant disagree with what you say, Milf or Hunt should be dictating the play, but even if they did and we kept floating the ball to them, they are always going to be under a lot more pressure.

We going to get a halfback that can help with that?
