POST GAME Round 20 - Broncos vs Titans

[Organix]

I would imagine the plan here is to rest Hodges early and slot Copley in when he comes off.

With regards to KNik, it is more than likely just a case of sharing the load and giving these players NRL time while we play some "easy" games. Parcell seems pretty determined to play for the Broncos from those early reports on him he gave up a fair bit to continue to play ISC for the Jets. Nikorima seems like a better fit for this game as the defensive line will be less of a "crash and bash" type where Parcell, a far better defender, is required and more of a speed based offense, where KNik can cope easily. I would say that the plan is to let KNik operate like a second 1,6,7 or 9 and wreak havoc from various positions on the field. Should see some fancy plays late in the game IMO.

Well, I predicted Hodges off early and I was right, except JK got cleaned up solidly. He went off again at 70th min.
KNik played pretty much how I saw it too. But really, that try he scored would have sickened me if I was a Tits fan.
Milf was superb, Hunt was superb also. I hope Blair is safe. I have doubts :(. Dodds and Wallace are playing well but I don't like not having McG or Blair to fill the run on prop role. Manly look shot but they are always a bogey team for us. I am at the point in the season where I begin to worry about dodgy teams aiming for injuring playmakers. I really seriously hope this isn't the case but woe-Manly are grubs.

Pretty happy with that performance, we didn't concede any points and put on 34. Overall I'm just happy we didn't let them score. That's been my biggest problem with playing the bottom teams, we concede too many tries.

Hopefully this seals a top 4 spot, 15 wins and a strong for and against.

Everything has already been said, so I'll be brief.

- Fucking how good was Benny Hunt's try. That was some next level shit. We have something special here ladies and gentlemen. The comparisons to Joey grow truer with each week that goes by.

- If you still had doubts, yet again we have seen more proof that Anthony Milford can play five-eighth, and he can do it pretty fucking well. The future looks good.

- Big ups to J-Wal and M-Dodds for stepping up in the absence of The Big Show. I had my doubts, but they are proving me wrong. A-Blair too, but I was pretty confident he wouldn't let us down.

- Kahu did a decent job on Roberts.

- Interesting that the refs would yell 'last tackle, last tackle' as loud as they could when the Titans had it, yet when it was us, we seemed to get one meek call. Can't really blame the refs when you win by the margin we did, but it bugged me.

- This season is the second coming of Sam Thaiday. My love for the bloke is back.

- Wayne Bennett you magnificent son of a bitch.

- I'm getting carried away with these dot points.

It is certainly fair to say that we are in a very good place at the moment.

I can agree that I have never been more excited to see a players development more than Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford. This halves pairing is going to be one of the deadliest this game has ever seen one day.

Also, that heritage kit is just the greatest thing ever.

Best jersey we've had in years.

- How good is it to rock up to Suncorp again knowing you're going to see plenty of points

- How good is it to be dreaming about the finals and beyond again

I don't think it was high ...
It can't be deemed a shoulder charge since Blair wrapped his arms around Elgey...
but it was slightly late

How can it not be high if it knocked him out cold lol, his shoulder hit him flush on the chin.

You can get knocked out by your head hitting th ground. Blair smashed him.

You're just being silly now lol, watch the replay, he was out before he was anywhere near the ground.

I haven't seen the replay... So I'm going by what i remember from the live telecast.

I'm only speaking in hypotheticals... Maybe a little wishful thinking as well

You didn't use any • points. :tongue:

Won the back a mate challenge tonight.

Went to pick a signed Broncos jersey, I was too late. Out of stock. Only downer of the night.

Nice! You were Tap King? I was actually cheering you on haha

 

[pennywisealfie]

What a night. I love beating the Titans and then catching the train back to GC with the losers....too bad Titans fans barely exist anymore. 27k for a local derby was pitiful, I've seen more fans in the away bay when we played Melbourne ffs.

As for the Broncos. I really can't ask any more of them. I loved yelling to Josh Hoffman that I'm glad we have a real fullback now.

It's so exciting that we have halves that do shit like that.

Gotta throw some love to Corey Parker who was the one guy who stepped up week to week when we were struggling and now it's finally paying off for the guy. Go Corey!!!

 

[Cult]

Gorden Tallis was walking around before the game signing stuff whilst wearing a maroon shirt. Didn't really seem like he was a Titan now!

 

[Brent81]

How good was the swan dive from Wallace for his try!

Bet you Wayne told him to "just get it down" in future.

 

[Brent81]

Wasn't it nice to see that shit eating smile wiped off Hoffman's face....yeah you're a great fullback fuckwit!

I reckon they already are, and with so much more to come.
