Round 26 - Melbourne vs Broncos - Post Game Discussion

[Bucking Beads]

Yeah he was. Not questioning his effort or contribution tonight but I dunno if front row is his position. We're lacking something in the front row.

We destroyed Melbourne up the middle tonight. Nothing missing in the front row. Composure and a decent structure is what was missing.

 

[Morkel]

Very proud of my team. Gutted that we were in with a genuine chance there but didn't get there, but at least it wasn't a belting like we've had before at this time of the year. By the Storm.

Both teams made a lot of errors. But both teams left nothing in the tank and that was a fucking fantastic game. There was **** all in that, in fact, I believe the game came down to one thing. The fact that the Storm are the experts at turtling players. Get us on our backs and grip on, it allows half a second more to get off, and one further second for us to turn over to play the ball. We had no quick play the balls when we were on their line and therefore never had the opportunity to truly stretch their defence. In contrast, the Storm had us on the ropes so many times, it had us all over the place. We were absolutely outstanding to have kept them out as often as we did, it could have gotten ugly.

Looking forward to next year!!!

4 tries to Melbourne, one was a bad read the other 3 were just luck we should be proud of all of them tonight

 

[Socnorb]

Melbourne are the all blacks of the NRL. By that I don't mean they are a benchmark. I mean the cheat for professional advantage. And on another note , to all the Griffin bashers. Shut the **** up and show some class and dignity.

 

[gordjw]

obviously you're counting 1989 where we lost a playoff for 5 th.


Nswrl records suggest that a 5 th place playoff counts as a semi.

Yep, that's what happened.

If Barber was auditioning for the 5/8 position he just cemented his spot in the QLD cup.
For the most part the forwards matched it with Melb in defence but gee we lack go forward.
12 points was never going to be enough to beat Melb,
If there is no organisation in the middle you simply can't score points, Hunt, for all his improvement this year he couldn't organise the proverbial in a brothel. He can organise himself but that is where it ends.

I thought Kennedy was working well in tandem with hannant. he made that one error but McCullough should have realised kennedy had over run it and not force a pass to him

 

[Bucking Beads]

They'll take a lot of harsh lessons out of this season and they're clearly building. With the inclusion of one of the best talents in the game, the Broncos will regain their status as the top teams in the competition.

We don't know where Milford is likely to play but I think even with him in the halves we still won't have a very balanced halves pairing. Neither is an organizer which is really one of our huge issues. McCullough hasn't really stepped up to the plate in that regard either.

The Storm remain the only team that Griffin failed to beat while at the helm. Good riddance to Griffin. Can you believe we've had him for 4 years? Imagine what Bennett could've done with our squad this year...

 

[Battler]

Judging him by his season as a whole, I wouldn't be against WB getting rid of Barba. It's hard to imagine that he's the same player that wreaked havoc on the comp a couple of years ago.

 

[Danoz Direct]

If this was our last match of the season, I think the 2014 season has been a positive overall. We have improved leaps and bounds this year in comparison to last years performance.

- We have found a long term halfback
- We have found a long term centre

We have improved in defence and attack (our improved fitness helping that).

Also for 2015 we have signed some players that I think can really have an impact and will make our team a force.

Anthony Milford - Will add the extra attack we need either at fullback or at 5/8

Mitch Garbutt - Will add to forward pack and I think is the missing link their, making strong runs while throwing great offloads to players like Milford.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Russell Packer is a must, folks. I keep on saying it over and over but if we add one more big prop to our rotation and throw out the dead weight like Lowrie, we will have a domineering pack.

even the knights could.beat the storm

With Hoffman going to the Sheepshaggers, another plank of the illegal team is dismantled.

 

[Taylor1921]

People bitching about Barba and saying you want a bloke that's not setting the u20s on fire to come in for him. You are dumb.. Weren't complaining when he score 3 tries!
Weren't complaining with dragons game.

And the McGuire bashers? Seriously?! You don't know the sport rugby league if you think he was awful tonight, he was the best front rower on the team tonight. If ya wanna bitch about someone, bitch about Hannant he was shit!

Anyway we miss the finals 2 years in a row. We now have to wait for the next season. Goodbye

Mitchell Garbutt.

And yet we flogged the knights what's your point that's the story of this season

 

[Super Freak]

Pathetic.

Storm were gifting them that game and Broncos couldn't take it.

Why? They didn't throw everything they had at them.
