POST GAME Round 2 - Broncos vs Cowboys

Well, what a compliment to you. ;)

Haha that’s awesome. He will always be a broncos4life.

I hope Thurston gets suspended for next week.

I watched the replay of his tackle on Oates, it was a blatant shoulder charge.

He led in with the shoulder and made forceful contact. Even there was separation, it doesn't matter anymore. They changed that rule last year. He made no attempt to wrap both arms around and just led in with the shoulder and made forceful contact.

He has to be suspended for next week.

Broken jaw has been confirmed
Got sent to hospital immediately

I'm fairly sure they showed him on the big screen in the sheds way after it happened though. Mustn't have been in a rush

Milford earned his 20k this week. Looked dangerous in attack and did great in defence. Keep it up Milf

Please. Remember who you are talking about. The is more chance of Oates getting a month for blatantly attacking Thurston’s shoulder.

Well, what a compliment to you. ;)

Speaking of compliments, where the hell is your player ratings? I want to go to bed.

They'll say Oates deliberately ran into his shoulder and give Oates 2 weeks

"a" Bronco for life. Not "in".

I didn't like the idea of Korbin on the bench, I didn't think he was much of an impact player but he actually did quite well tonight.

Kept up the intensity and got stuck in. I thought he made a good impact tonight.

lol that press conference is gold.

"What do you say to the critics who were writing you off after round 1?

"Don't have to say anything"

"You'll never divide us"

Fucking snap.

 

[Harry Sack]

Deadset siege mentality already haha

This is a direct quote

"f*** me

Reading the broncos forum is like reading our forum in the late 90’s / early 00’s"

Well, I hope they read this... suck a c**k you wooden spoon winning, one premiership winning, perennial sore losers...

We'd have to not win a premiership for another 125 years to have the same premiership strike rate as you losers..

Kind regards,
Brisbane broncos (forever your big brother)

For those who missed the post-game on Channel 9, allow me to paraphrase for you.

Fatty: I think Thurston might have a case to answer for at the MRC after that shoulder charge on Oates.

Gus Gould: A true champion of the game, never gave in, put his heart and soul in to that performance tonight.

Fatty: Yes, but in regards to that tackle, he clearly lea-

Gus Gould: The next immortal, the master, is there anything he can't do? Single handedly bringing the Cowboys back from the brink of destruction, perilously close to performing yet another miracle comeback, what an inspiration, the little general, unbelievable, cometh the hour, cometh the man.

Fatty: ??

Ratings only my opinion and unfortunately distracted by my wife’s talk during the game at times.
1. Boyd 3. Tried and laid on a few good balls but ongoing periods of softness. Mate there is no point laying about laughing with incredulity at the ref when u think they screw up. Needs to watch 168 hours of Cam Smith talking to refs over the next week. No point in going to training, can’t be playing injured and certainly not at fullback. Looks like a five eight/old style inside centre with one leg.
2. Oates. Not perfect but not bad for a second rower on the wing. 6
3. Kahu. 5. Poor luck with his jaw but he got himself into an awkward situation. Was holding side defensively well and huge catch. Was a lot better but it can’t be just bad luck he injures himself every time at centre. Type of player every team needs but please ask the surgeon to engrave on his forehead “For health and safety please use on wing only”.
4. Roberts 8. Need more consistent involvement but awesome in full flight. Won’t be satisfied till he scores a triple every game. Guy is majestic to watch.
5. Isakko. 7. Promising signs but still learning. Got screwed but a Thurston rake. His kicking now makes him vital and added a couple of marks.
6. Milford. 7. Very good but not quite an 80 minute performance. Much better combo behind a working forward pack but best bits were running, support and getting out of the in goal. Wonder what position that sounds like?
7. KNik 7. Wasn’t the dominant organiser but good touches, looked more relaxed with Maccas help. Still needs to talk more but give him time.
8. Lodge 8. What we need in a prop but would be better in shorter spurts till gets match speed and fitness. Bit slow at times.
9. Macca. 9. I think someone got it right when they said bionic legs. Crisper service (still a little slow), darted nicely, engaged markers, organised and showed why we need him kicking more from first receiver. Hope it isn’t another false promise then stagnation. Would love to see a guy like Bird (assuming lock given his size now) play second rake on and off to give him a spell and add another point of attack to take pressure off Macca. Also let him drop to first receiver occasionally ala Smith and for long kicks.
10. TPJ. 10. Huge in front row but played more like a lock. Put Taumololo and JT in their place. Like him to start at lock, but not be overused to keep impact (0-20, 55-80 with view to another 5 mins each stint as develops). Move to front row later in game with Bird off bench as lock at 20.
11. Glenn. 5. Solid in defence but not a threat in attack. Not enough to justify his spot. Give Sims a shot to start.
12. Gillo. 5. Better than last week but still looks not quite himself. Failed to protect his half on the try line very ungillett. Doesn’t look to have life in his game. Love to know what is wrong or missing.
13. McGuire. 8. Good to have him back on song. Not Gallening it up but looks lost at times. Not smart or high impact enough to be the lock we need be a great Prop to compliment Lodge.
14. Thaiday. 3. Showed a few good signs and some effort but dumb play was just not good enough. Problem was this was one of his better games and he could still have cost the game. Time to retire before he erodes all good will.
15. Offa. ? Maybe I missed it as mesmerised by TPJ and Macca but barely noticed him.
16. Sims 6. Liked the hustle and defence at times, needs to keep building.
17. Opa 7. Did well but thrust into where he should have started. Amazed he got away with a “Melbourne line ball” pass. Hope to see u there next week.
