POST GAME Round 24 - Broncos vs Dragons

[Socnorb]

Cecchin fail, I mean seriously he needs to look at a replay and see how one sided he was.
Lol Dugan.
2 of the best tries you'll see in a game of footy.
Milford starting to dominate.

Kodi was very quiet , didn't take them on at all . Milfs kicking was really good i thought.

 

[Battler]

I'm just happy we didn't lose despite getting bent over by the NRL. I'm expecting a similar refereeing performance next week for the Parramata "2014 Souths" Eels.

 

[rnabokov]

I am still unconvinced about our ability to match it with a disciplined side like the Storm. For mine, next week will be the 1st real test of our semi final prospects.

On tonight's game, I really liked the way Milford's game is going to the next level. He is at last taking control and both running the ball and play making, and his tactical kicking is also improving.

The line speed is also good to see.

Herman's second half stint was great.

But his first half was terrible. He hasn't done enough to keep ofa out, he isn't the player he was at the start of the year

I wouldn't say his first half was terrible, thought it was solid. I think the guy to miss out when Ofahengaue gets back will likely be Arrow.

**** me, how good was Milf's running game? Haven't seen that in over a year. Hope he keeps it up.
How good has Glenn been too? Just killing it at the moment, probably his best game this year.
Really impressed with out defence too. Not so much with our handling though. Like Gus said, gotta show some patience sometimes.

 

[Thelmus]

I was hoping they would come out firing in the 2nd half but they seemed to have kept their powder dry.
It definitely looked like they tried to wear the dragons down with constantly moving the ball and 2nd phase play. It didn't work though as their forwards failed to put the dragons on the back foot. The dragons for their part were polar opposites. Constantly making metres but failing to capitalise on them. The broncos capitalised on the chances they got and showed some great goal line defence to win it.
Milford and hunt were both great, as was Glenn. Our forwards for the most part though were dissapointing.

The 8-2 penalty count helped with them getting on the front foot. You see that, right?

 

[Alec]

Those 2 "tackled in the air" penalties were insane. You see that in literally every game every week.

Especially when the Lafai try was an exact carbon copy.

Broncos
Sims - 5 Runs (19m), 13 Tackles (1 Missed)
Blair - 8 Runs (38m), 35 Tackles (3 Missed)
Ese'ese - 8 Runs (89m), 15 Tackles (3 Missed)

Dragons
Sims - 15 Runs (136m), 31 Tackles (2 Missed)
Vaughan - 20 Runs (172m), 27 Tackles (1 Missed)
Ah Mau 13 Runs (131m), 20 Tackles (1 Missed)

Paints a picture.

Look at this...

Dugan - 9 Runs (44m), 19 Tackles (5 Missed), 4 Errors.

 

[Accept]

44% posession, half as much territory as the Saints, a 8-2 penalty count against and yet the Broncos never looked like losing tonight. It wasn't pretty by any means but good teams win games even when they aren't at their best. Broncos are looking in great shape for a tilt at the crown.

 

[Aldo]

Milf was terrific tonight. Looking very ominous for the finals.

Some of Glenn's hole running was sublime.

Wasn't our best performance but we were never in danger despite coming up against a desperate side and a referee hell-bent on producing the worst refereeing performance ever in history of rugby league. We'll be right.

Yep. Milf firing at the right time of the year. The whole spine looking dangerous with weapons all across the park, and the boys looking like they're enjoying their footy. There's a lot to like.

 

[Danoz Direct]

Just need to look to get Roberts a bit more involved.

Sims really needs to lift and so does Blair. At this point maybe we should be looking to drop Sims when Ofahengaue comes back.

 

[Danoz Direct]

I think Milford might just need to straighten up just a little bit more in attack.
