POST GAME Round 2 - Broncos vs Cowboys

[KnToad]

We win and Gus does nothing but praise the fucking Cowboys

And all is right in the world..... The day Gus starts barracking for us in the box will be the end of the world.

 

[Super Freak]

BAH GAWD THAT'S JACK BIRD'S MUSIC

This is going to be a lethal combination if Milford keeps it up.

**** me I'm excited.

 

[Browny]

Boyd played with a lot more intent tonight, made some mistakes but overall I thought he was one of the players that led the way for the Broncos and gave us a lift.

Got in the refs ear a fair bit too. Even though Cummins wasn't listening.

Pretty sure he was close to getting in trouble when they went up for the Granville double movement

 

[CaptainHook]

Wayne giving it to the press - you won't divide us!

 

[KnToad]

Is this for real?! Did the cowboys win against the massive favourites?

It wasn't the upright that won the game. Pangai did! He smashed him into the upright!!!

I can't believe this media!! What the **** is wrong with them?!

SPot on - If TPJ doesn't make that effort he scores under the posts

Bennett’s press conference was 10/10 - a massive up yours to the media.
Loved it.
The Broncs are back baby!!

 

[broncos4life]

He’s definitely still not 100% physically but the intent was definitely there. You could see he was up for it from his first kick return even though it ended in a mistake.

Wally “There’s been a little bit of displeasure about the round 1 loss”

Understatement of the year

 

[winslow_wong]

Gus is so miserable. Fatty feeds it to him though haha

 

[KnToad]

Loved Milf's first half. Running game looked good and was thinking run. His second half though, he reverted back to just shoveling the ball out and didn't look to get involved. His defence was good tonight.

A bit tough, his defensive workload in the second half was huge and to his great credit he aimed up over and over again.

 

[Browny]

Who’s coaching Penrith? Lol

 

[Aldo]

Thought Lodge was great tonight. Anyone got his stats?

Broncos score 'freakish' win over Cowboys

March 16, 2018

Whoever writes the scripts for Broncos-Cowboys games wouldn't be out of place in Hollywood.

In the third minute of the game a Thurston grubber deflected off Matthew Lodge’s foot and Jordan McLean scooped it up and planted the ball on the line.

A penalty not long afterwards had the Cowboys ahead 8-0. They were dominating.

The Broncos did well to repel raid after raid and it was a short kick-off from a line dropout by Jamayne Isaako that saw Brisbane regain possession and get back into the contest.

Three Broncos tries in nine minutes followed but it could easily have been five or six.

Tevita Pangai Jnr was given a start to herald a new era for the Brisbane forwards and he delivered with a try in the 19th minute on the back of sheer strength.

Anthony Milford said before the game that he wanted to reboot his running game and he delivered on his promise mid-way through the first half with several decisive efforts.

It was fortuitous, but deserved, when Andrew McCullough put in a kick that appeared to be headed for the Brisbane River. It landed just inside the dead-ball line and bounced back into the waiting arms of replacement centre Tom Opacic.

A slick passing move involving Darius Boyd and Opacic then sent Corey Oates flying down the left edge and Alex Glenn backed up on the inside to give the Broncos an 18-8 lead.

A try was disallowed on the stroke of half-time when Sam Thaiday pushed Ben Hampton out of the way before Joe Ofahengaue planted another McCullough kick. A Nikorima bust and subsequent infield kick almost bounced up for Boyd as the Broncos finished the first 40 minutes on fire.

The first half was soured for Brisbane by a broken jaw to Kahu after he put his body on the line in a tackle.

The Broncos had the better of the opening 20 minutes of the second half but it was the tried and true combination of Thurston and Gavin Cooper that reduced the margin to four. It goes without saying that Thurston held up a ball for Cooper to run an inch perfect line to score.

James Roberts is a game changer par excellence, and the dazzling Broncos centre weaved his way through tired Cowboys forwards to send Nikorima in under the sticks with 10 minutes to go.

Contests between these two sides are never dead and buried and three minutes later it was Thurston who went on his own and put Jake Granville over to narrow Brisbane’s lead to 24-20.

As 46,080 sat on the edge of their seats, Bolton provided a late moment of drama that suggested the football Gods had decided to smile on Brisbane in the ultimate moment of divine intervention.

Why isn't the media talking about the Thurston shoulder charge?????

VERY VERY blatant

 

[KnToad]

54 tackles from McCullough. His second game in 7 months.

The bloke isn't human.

He deserves MOTM - he was the difference tonight

 

[broncos4life]

So is that a known thing that TPJ rang Wayne and asked to come? Sounds like they have a pretty great relationship.
