POST GAME [Round 25, 2024] Broncos vs Eels

[Xzei]

had every reason to roll over after 12 min was good to see they atleast showed something
jesus some ppl on the ground just quietly

Staggs has 2 good games and our salary cap is in disarray once again. How do we keep Staggs, Cobbo and Mariner? Players that stand up with 150% games 25% of the time!

Well it was actually a good win if you look at it. The eels scored twice in 11 minutes off the back of three blatant knock ons. The one into sailor the most obvious. The first 16 points was a complete joke, the first try the only one deserving. The rest of the game didn't get much better but we fought and won in a gritty display, with only one forward left on the bench.

How about you bunch of spoilt children appreciate the fact the boys dug deep, clawed their way back from a 16-0 deficit to win for the fans.

My only negative was Selwyn looked like a shattered man after he scored his try

Yep. He played well though I thought. He got tackled in the air by sivo three times, one lead to their first try and none were called. Insanity from the ref tonight

Kev's fault for poor selection. Having a back sitting on the bench doing nothing is brain-dead.

If we lost a back we would have been singing praises. Teams pick backs on the bench every week including Billy slater at origin. Get over it. It didn't cost us shit tonight.

Until we lose a back to a HIA and we're completely fucked as none of our second rowers can play in the centres.

 

[ParraMania]

Going 14-8 to 60-14 was our best comeback against the Eels funnily enough back in 1995.

I didn't find it all funny.

 

[Wolfie]

It was a good gritty display to come back, but its still a win again a really, really poor side thats just papering over the cracks.

Staggs with another good game. Interesting his form has picked up at a time when he's a candidate to be moved on with our unbalanced cap. Be interesting what they do with him and Cobbo.

But winning gritty is what we built our season on In 2023. There is fight in this broncos side which if you look back, is what got us on a roll last season.

At any point tonight they could have rolled over but they dug deep and clawed their way to a win. That's exactly the shit we need while our big guns are out.

 

[Jedhead]

Reyno had some real good moments but Pat wrestled that game off of Parra from the 12 th minute onwards. By halftime he had carried us for 134 metres and made 30 tackles. Cobbo made some good yards out of our end but Riki and Piakura were again doing a great impression of holograms.

Please for the love of god get rid of the “fake” hooker. It’s getting past the embarrassing stage.

Good gritty comeback but luckily it was against the Eels who are wooden spoon contenders.

Kevvy is still leaving Billy on for too long. Willison is starting to look like a decent front row starter and when Haas is back and as good as I think Jensen is he may find himself starting from the bench next year.

If it comes down to a salary cap decision between Cobbo and Staggs surely we take Staggs. For a guy that has played most of his career on the right wing Cobbo got caught more than a couple of times tonight defending between attackers and taking nobody.

Carrigan is a machine and without his input we would really struggle.

 

[Footy Fanatic]

Just really wish we could find a way to get Carrigan off for a rest. Think we need to have 3 forwards on the bench for the rest of the season.

We did defend well in 2023, but we didnt win gritty. We won games on the back of individual brilliance. This year, our defence as a team has been trash, and our big, flashy high risk plays have either been found out our they just havent worked. Some of that is no doubt down to injury.

If these ***** at the Broncos give that money grabbing Payne Haas the player of the year again when he doesnt deserve over King Patty i'm going to riot.

We literally won our first game of the season against the panthers in a gritty display.
