POST GAME Round 25 - Rabbitohs vs Broncos

[Waynesaurus]

Great win! Our forwards really stood up against their big pack and our little fast men took advantage of the offloads and cut them to pieces in the middle.

Credit goes to Blair he was great, after a poor start to the year he is really building towards the business end of the season.

Our strength is definitely the offload, if we make sure we have the fast small guys following Parker and Blair we can cause some real havoc particularly against those bigger forward packs.

Wayne has certainly got the boys believing.

That was absolutely worth watching again!! I loved seeing the support every time we made a break...except for Glenn. Milford was always sniffing around and just knew where to be every time.

Presser:

Rd 25 Press Conference: Broncos

Re Oates: "Just don't give him a rap... will you, please". Smiles. "Can't let him out the cage".

I'm loving this banter. Clearly Bennett and the senior players know what they've got in him, trying to keep him grounded.

 

[Morkel]

^^^^^ Everyone watch that press conference. Now concentrate on Hodges for the first 20 seconds. Tell me that he's not just coming out of an acid trip and is trying to work out where the **** he is?!?!?

Haha. It was funny watching Glenn. First the break wondering who would be there in support...no one... bumping out of a few tackles again looking for support but still no one there. I guess no one expected Glenn to break even the first tackle let alone a couple more.

Also I noticed Wallace and Dodds were used out wide later in the game. They werent used to having it so easy. Wallace made a huge drive while Dodds made some good metres despite tripping over himself.

 

[MaroubraBroncos]

Giving up so many metres still seems way too gnarly, it's a lot of ground to make up in the hope that something luckily pays off or an error is made.

We seem to bend not break

Ive not seen anyone say this up until now when you said it.

You need to widen your reading; start with the coaching thread.

You need to stop trying to have a crack at me. I know what I said, you know what I said, stop trying to make it something it's not. End of.

Either have I. If anything the Walker brothers appear to have the league world intrigued.

 

[Sproj]

Seriously though, can we not let personal peeves and hyperbole distract this thread from what was probably our most complete win of the season thus far?

Not just you; you are certainly one of the loudest haters of it but not on your own.

You said it couldn't be used in the NRL and questioned the coaching skills. You made accusations about Jets' players not caring and just playing touch with no plan.

You're right I do know what you said.

I am celebrating a great try and great coaching.

 

[Cult]

"When teams kick off, why does everybody kick it 40-50m for a halfback to catch it and give it to a rampaging front-rower, who's then going to career into some of their finest?"

Shane Walker.

Good to see those weekly chats, training sessions and going to Jets' games has Benny paying attention. Straight from the Jets' book that second try. Spread it along the line from kick offs because teams chase the ball and the opposite side has space.

Coaching skills..............It'll never work!

Looks more like Bennett learned that one from Anthony Griffin, mate.

One of the best game I've seen from the Broncos so far, however Broncos still need to improve their ruck defence. Opposition teams are taking advantage of Broncos inability to slow the play of the ball and gaining too many cheap metres. I understand that they're not a wrestling type of defenders, that's fair enough but they can at least mimic what Brad Thorn use to do and use his body weight to stack on to the opponent/defender for at least 1-2 seconds longer to slow the ruck play.

We can't. If we try and slow down the ruck, the refs will penalize us in a heartbeat while they ignore the Sydney darlings doing the same thing.

Grade 1 shoulder charge for Luke. Two weeks with an early plea.

If you watch the bunnies defence last night, they usually have a second player stacking on top of their first defender. You can get away with it.
In the first half of the season, I thought their defence was much better because they "hit and stick" their tackles into the opponent.

How fucking dumb is he? Seriously. The moron just got back from suspension.
