PRE-GAME [Round 3, 2025] Broncos vs Cowboys

[Super Freak]

Just get the fundamentals right and we'll be fine.

We didn't do that tonight and when you're going up against a side that's playing like it's their GF, it's always going to be a bad night.

 

[Brocko]

They need to be ready for it again next week, because forget how bad the cows have been, they'll start exactly how Canberra did.

 

[JayPee]

We are coming in with confidence. Only lost by 24. We are going to be hard to beat....

 

[Mustafur]

@1910 how has Jaiyden Hunt been going?

hopefully he is actually playing backrow in Qcup.

No cup games last week, he'll be playing backrow for Wynnum tomorrow arvo.

How good was Corey horsburgh - I had dreams of signing him last season when he appeared on the outer.

We can't sign him, given our middle and spine cost.

Imo, day to day Haas and Carrigan are better, even if they got dominated this game.
He does seem like the player you would want in a big game though.

 

[Santa]

We better win, and win well!

Broncos 10^(10^100) - Cowboys 0

Well we played the one of worst games we’ve seen in years so surely it’s only up from here. Surely…..

Years??

Did the last round of 2024 not happen

to be fair we did have a gutted squad and no hope of finals, this game there was no excuse since we were full strength.

We withstood the onslaught from their first 20-30mins and then the game was able to get into a grind at which point we got two tries.

Hunt had a brain explosion which allowed them a late try, but we still finished the half only 6 points behind, so I would say that's about the best we could hope for all things being considered.

The issue was the start of the second half... We couldn't stop them in yardage at all, which was a major issue, but I don't think raiders came out firing in the second half in the same way they started the first half. Their line speed was just normal instead of roided up penrith levels.

We just completely imploded for the entire second half.

I think raiders did end up using a lot of energy in the first 30mins and the game was there and ready to fall into a pattern... all we had to do was follow the game plan and grind them out, but instead we just made unforced error after unforced error to gift them field position and then didn't defend our errors at all.

 

[BroncosFever]

I know you add Piakura to that, but Jetski was diabolical tonight to the point he really should be dropped... and Piakura would be who fills the spot.

Yep, 15 supercoach points. There's no better KPI than supercoach points.

Fire him into the sun.

So this game didn't exist then??

People are talking crazy that this was the worst game we've played in years... hell the broncos finished last in completion rate last year... games like tonight have been regular viewing for years

But but Kevviec was the problem and Maguire was supposed to fix this.

Oh yeah he would t replace those guys, but there was speculation we could get him cheap as a Flegler replacement. Would have been nice.

And that was our better performance against the Titans in 2024 - Brisbane lost the return match in round 22 46-18
