POST GAME Round 26 - Cowboys vs Broncos

[Danoz Direct]

Not rising to his feet to play the ball properly. Hard to do when he's literally being pulled to the ground by the marker.

Was called as a knock on though...

 

[Organix]

I heard the ref say something about still being on his knee...Must be the first time this year that rule has been officiated.

except he wasn't on his knee at all

I've seen far worse this season been turned a blind eye to but we shouldn't be too surprised inconsistency is a feature of our game.

 

[KnToad]

I thought Milf muscled up well tonight.

He has trimmed down and muscled up. Compared to early in the season when we were having a laugh about his paunch he is now fast strong and dangerous....

 

[Danoz Direct]

Thought all the forwards were good.

Glenn and McGuire the standouts.

 

[winslow_wong]

I wish Bennett would come out and tear the refs a new one.

 

[KnToad]

Fans are getting real sick and tired of watching this shit, penalty after penalty how did Oates knock on the ball? He tapped it back. I wish we had someone like Cameron Smith to make these refs accountable on the field. I've noticed no one on the broncos teams talks to the refs.

No point talking to a ref if you're wearing a Broncos jersey

One thing that was apparent tonight is the broncos kicking game long and short is our biggest weakness. Seeing the difference Benji made with his long kicking game and the pressure and opportunities that brings Im tempted to bring him in over Kodi even though Kodi is playing well. Without a decent long and short kicking game we are always working twice as hard. Kicking to me is almost the most important asset we need in a half. Its a shame we have no one in 2018 that has any idea how to kick. And for this reason alone I think we will always struggle. Besides this as (nearly) always great defense.

 

[Taylor1921]

It was a knock on. He tapped it towards a Broncos player who was in front of him. Was clear on the replay from behind him.

Watch it again it goes behind him, the broncos player was infront of him but ran back and caught the ball.

 

[Lockysillegitimatechild]

Come on man, after the 80 min mark he said how good we were.

Lucky I have a phd in sarcasm, otherwise I may have missed that one

 

[Super Freak]

So there is a slight but highly unlikely chance the eels finish 3rd. That'd be a nightmare

They would have to win by the biggest margin in the history of sport all over the world.

132 points.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Yeah I wish he didn't have that shoulder injury right now holding him back.

Penalty every time.... unless you're wearing a jersey with a horse on it....

 

[GCBRONCO]

If you could get the rubbish out of Moga's game he would be a real asset, for Newcastle's sake I hope they can. But defensively he is a liability and could be a real concern for the finals now.

Just a quick one, Just if you could. Please take a minute to head over to http://www.cowboysstampede.com.au/

Yeah. I also didn't consider the possibility of the Titans beating the Roosters meaning we move up to 2nd. And the Eels winning by at least 36 minus the amount the Roosters lose by, pushing them into 3rd and Roosters into 4th.

 

[Big Pete]

A back to business win from the Broncos.

They didn't come out and make a statement, but they didn't bend over and there were some great performances out there. Josh McGuire was a deserving Man of Match, playing with the type of intensity which saw him turn the Origin series on it's head. He was supported nicely by Hunt, Thaiday and Milford.

With their season on the line, the Cowboys played with excellent discipline in the second half. Their gameplan was excellent, they targeted the Broncos vulnerable left fringe relentlessly and heaped pressure on with a pin-point kicking game that enabled them to control the second half.

Benji Marshall proved to be a master stroke on the bench. His injection in the second half saw the Broncos kicking game improve ten-fold and his ability to put his players through holes was well and truly on display.

If the Rooster lose and they win they only need 36.
