Round 21 - Sea Eagles vs Broncos

[bb_gun]

Was that touchy telling Badger to check onside?

 

[winslow_wong]

Is this the return of the bad old griffinball days

 

[Organix]

Ideas are good? Running on the 5th when nothing is doing and kicking on the 4th when nothing is doing?

We've been starved of possession? What is wrong with a safe kick on the 5th to get us some bloody field position for more than one set per half?

Gillett offloading lying half on the ground?

Our ideas have been shit, our defence has been shit and the scoreline reflects that.

Sorry, I was wrong. You are right. I just thought Hunt and Milf have had some nice plays in there but drop ball and bad execution on kicks have been a killer.

 

[jarro65]

All these fluke tries...just not our night.

And that's it ... they're bounce of the ball tries.

We aren't playing well though.

 

[Rhys van Beurden]

3 of their tries have been arsey as shit. Infuriating.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Lyon seems to save his best games for the Broncos.

 

[Kimlo]

Manly and their flukes. Lyon seems to be the next immortal every time he plays against us.

A lot of truth in this.

At 20-0 I've got dwindling confidence we can get back into this seriously.

That said, it's a good chance to see how we respond to adversity. We've been good at holding a lead and seizing opportunities when the game is in the balance. It's been quite some time since we've had to fight back from a deficit.

 

[Organix]

Bennett will obviously have some words and we might see a flip they have lost the game plan entirely tonight. Unless that was the game plan...

 

[CaptainHook]

Where's this great defense I keep hearing about?

 

[Foordy]

all this doom and gloom ... we were bound to have a poor game before the finals ... hopefully Bennett can fire them up for the second half and we can make a similar comeback to the Cowboys. we have the players to do it in Milford, Hunt, Hodges, Parker Gillett etc.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

This is definitely just not our night. So many arsey as **** tries for Manly, it's sickening. Plus we can't buy a penalty in the ruck

 

[rnabokov]

These commentators have never seen a Broncos game this year have they? Constantly mentioning our non-moving defensive line.

Well, it isn't really moving much at all is it. Like some have said, poor defensive line speed against a side who plays fast and slick means you give them room and time to get field position, momentum and set their plays.

Our Kearney Koaching in defence is biting us in the bum. You can't win against a side full of running with a slow defensive line. Tonight is proof. Aside from the fact that Milford and Hunt look like they are on Valium

 

[CaptainHook]

Lyon is a wonderful footballer.

This. We were due a loss and we're missing two first choice prop forwards also without Vidot who would have been handy tonight.

I think this is a good loss to have, if we come back from it, it's a great confidence builder, if we get destroyed, it brings back a bit of reality to a team that's been flying high for most of the season.

 

[Financeguy]

Some real doomsayers in here.

its just not our night, Manly are playing well, credit to them.

we were going to drop a game or two eventually, this just looks like it. We will still be on top of the ladder come Monday, don't give up on the season over 40 mins of football.

 

[Harry Sack]

Lyon is a ****.

 

[jarro65]

Lyon is a ****.
