PRE-GAME [Round 21, 2024] Broncos vs Bulldogs

I disagree, Oates is still good for yardage, not saying he's any better than Arthars but he's still good in that regard.

Kick high and he can be shut down .
His acceleration is not a strength .
 
I'm more concerned with Ezra running up to far leaving his outside man isolated. Preston runs great lines and is a handful close to the line.
It happened last week with Ezra coming up and Lucas went through Piakura.

Reynolds goes out quick to disrupt the backline but he doesnt actually commit to jamming in or just staying up high... he goes out quick stops the attack and then drops back with his defensive line.

It was something that Cronk said they did at storm... there's zero intent to actually tackle anyone just disrupt the backline.

It's like other defenders in the team don't really understand why he's doing it or when to do it.

Staggs comes screaming in from the centre to tackle the 5/8... but overcommits and leaves the fullback open for an easy overlap and the rest of the team scrambling... I don't know why he comes in on the 5/8 though... if he thinks there's a backline move coming then jam in on the fullback, the winger jams on the centre and the rest wrap around the back to cover the winger if they get the pass out.

Ezra came up, but looks like he came up too early and created a disconnect with his second rower... he likes to come up to try and be a disruptor, but he seems to come up too early and give the attack too much time to find another option... and he doesn't seem to do the important part which is to drop back with the defensive line that is coming up a bit slower and connecting it all together again
 
If Marty can keep up his form, he’ll have the world in his hands, or at least China…………………
 
It's OK.

I am trying to get into footy, but not going to games, as I am the jinx. 😢

Went to GF - Loss 😭
Went to Origin 2 - Loss.
You aren't the jinx. There's a better correlation between us losing and Pat Carrigan being there than you.
