Caught the last 20 minutes or so of the replay on Fox.
Broncos missed Hodges in the second half. The players were looking for guidance, somebody to provide them with some structure and nobody was there to answer the call. Hoffman in particular was actually pretty disappointing in offence. Brisbane went to him a few times when they had a bit of momentum and each time he'd get picked off and come up with slow play the ball that basically killed the set.
Was also an instance late in the game where the Broncos had half an opportunity with Parker looking to put Hoffman through the gap but he ran a dreadful line, weaving back in, throwing an offload to Gillett who handed it straight to a Manly player. Story of the night right there.
Hunt was even worse than I remembered. :laugh: A lot of dreadful passes, poor options, had bad kicks and poor defence on show and that was just inside that space of time. Sucks because he's easily been the Broncos best highlight this season. With both him and Barba on the fringes, it's really easy to get a quick play the ball and a free run from dummy half.
