Round 26 - Melbourne vs Broncos - LIVE Discussion

[Super Freak]

Smith looks like he could return.

 

[Foordy]

Just saw Smith in the dressing room ... he will be back ... possibly even to start the second half

 

[CaptainHook]

Our tries came on the edges.

Broncos have to keep attacking there.

Spot on, SF. We also need to work on building pressure. If it doesn't look like it's on, just roll it in and get a repeat set and try again.

 

[Grimmiq]

I guess QLD already have the Cowboys in the finals, no need for a 2nd QLD team so get the VIC team in there so the Melbourne fans don't ignore the finals.

Some disgraceful calls so far.

just win ffs

 

[Foordy]

Absolute penalty try denied us by the refs. That's twice in 2 weeks they have majorly fucked us.

absolutely ... if not for the offside Hoffman ... Macca is 100% certain to score ... it was only the attentions of Hoffman that made him fumble it in the first place

 

[Rabbir]

That old school Carlton Draught ad cracks me up everytime.

and they offered no explanation to Hodges as to why it wasn't a penalty try

 

[CaptainHook]

I thought for a penalty try the offense had to be committed in the in-goal area.

Quick question: If we win, could Parker rushing back on to take the kick come back to bite us?

You wouldn't know it reading this thread, but we're actually playing quite well - just a few lapses in concentration that have let us down.

Should be good second half, we've definitely got their measure.

Not really, but you have to be certain a try would have been score if not for the foul play

I hope not but I'm more worried about losing by 2 points

When has there ever been a penalty try for a marker not being square?

For the most part I think the majority agrees, we just need to make sure our lapses are either gone or far lessened in the second half, Still very much in it.

 

[CaptainHook]

I'm worried - even a half fit Cameron Smith is a massive threat.

 

[Big Pete]

Smith has a high ankle sprain. Being reported that he won't be coming back tonight.

 

[winslow_wong]

cmonnnnnnn win

 

[Rabbir]

I reckon Smith might come on late if it's close.
