POST GAME Round 25 - Bulldogs vs Broncos

[rnabokov]

Well nobody can accuse Seibold of not giving Boyd and Macca a fair crack at proving themselves. Now, since they have both failed to prove themselves, it is on Seibold to prove himself and get rid of them for the good of the team and the fans. Time is running out for Seibold.

 

[Morkel]

I am of the opinion that Seibold knows exactly what needs to be done and the off season is the time to do it as there will certainly be disruption within the playing group.

I'm hoping this is the case too. It'd be too hard to do a cleanout of the established names half-way through the season. He's given them the entire year to prove what they can bring to the side, whether they're legit good enough to bring glory back to the Broncos jersey. I'm sure he's known for a while who should be kept, but the Broncos more than any other side are held to a public trial. He needed to get the media and the fans on the same page as to what player movements need to happen, lest there be some form of outcry when some big names get tapped on the shoulder.

Too risky for them to fix! They’ll be playing for the win!

 

[BroncosAlways]

Nothing to say that hasn't been said already, at least for tonight.

On an unrelated note, anyone able to get a price on sportsbet paying for a draw tomorrow?!

 

[Super Freak]

I am officially off Seibold as well, he has lost me, it is not possible to defend the indefensible, and picking Turps at halfback this week was indefensible.

Can't think of a coach that wouldn't have picked a halves combination that won 5 from 7 games prior to this week.

I’m with ya! Need to add Milford in there too. McCullogh is a great defender but does zip with the ball. Broncos fans have had a gutful! When Bennett booted Wally Lewis way back it paid immediate dividends. It’s time for a purge and get this great club back on track!

Dont you mean a hooker/ past it fullback combination?

 

[T_Roy]

Time to move Isaako to fullback. He’s not defending on the wing anyway so we might as well.

His defense was amateurish! Seriously what was he thinking leaving his opposition out on flank by himself for that first try by bulldogs. I think a few of these broncos players lack sufficient IQ’s! It’s just dumb what they’d done all night!

 

[Battler]

Anyone rates Brodie Croft?

Yeah he'd be a good pick up, worrying that Bellamy wants to flick him though. Any one of Croft, Foran, or Sezer (probably in that order depending on money) would be good.

 

[K-Style]

Arthurs showing no chase for the Titans. How is anyone excited that he is coming?

 

[Organix]

Wonder if some of the older boys are hearing what the team is telling them...

 

[Rookie Alan]

TBH, Croft or the fullback from storm, I don’t mind either of them could be a good pick.

And I probably rate Croft higher than Foran and Sezer, he can organise, run, kick and field goal too.

Would any of those players get a chance though with turpin killing it at 7?

Ok, seibs has had a year with the team but IMO we have not shown improvement on field as a team. Yes some players have developed but i would attribute that more to player maturation rather than any coaching.

- all year we have failed to enter games with a game plan (other than an U/8s strategy of throw it to someone and hope that they do something good)
- we have no set plays or this "structure" seibold refers to.
- we play with no depth and players are not running on to the ball. Could you imagine how well our forward pack would go if they came running from the back fence rather than a standing start?
- we appear to play in slow motion.
- we have no defensive structure or strategy and our defence is as brittle as ever.
- we cant control the ruck.
- continually selecting people that are ill suited for that position (perfect example being turpin at half. All of Broncos HQ could see turpin was a defensive liability in the halves. Our right side had been ok but tonight was pathetic.)

I could go on, but couldnt be stuffed. What a waste of a season.

I’ll save my extensive thoughts on the team for when our season has officially ended

As close as official as you can get imo

 

[Accept]

Third worst regular season record in their history behind '07 and '13 yet it will still get them into the playoffs. It just goes to show the Bronco's incredible history. But Seibs has brought this club back down to where Hook left it. His appointment was downright.....Aw **** it, I'm going to get a kebab.

 

[something]

I just watched the replay.... last try is a testament to what’s wrong with this team....

Milford goes for the ball, there is about 6 guys to the left of field all walking... in the end it’s Milford who is pressuring Smith , and those same six people are all still walking / watching .... yuck
