Round 3 - Broncos v Roosters - LIVE Discussion

[GCBRONCO]

I almost wish Griffin would just shift Hoffman to fullback now so Barba is at 5/8th and can link with Hunt more.

 

[Rabbir]

I have a feeling Kennedy will very quickly be the new whipping boy around here. Looked pretty obvious that Aubusson was targeting directly under the ball.

I'm not sure if I'm just so pessimistic because of last year but I have a feeling that Dogs,Cowboys and Roosters will all go down from their ladder position of last year. Anyone agree with me?

 

[MrMoore]

Roosters hold us down for so long

 

[GCBRONCO]

Everyone was expecting us to lose, I think we're playing awesome. So proud of the team, everyone's giving 100%. Deadset, give us a proper half like Milford and we could beat anyone IMO with the attitude we've been playing with this year.

Definitely and we are doing it without Hodges too, he has been our big go to man for so long, would make a huge difference tonight.

 

[broncos4life]

Regardless of the rest of this game I'm so damn proud of this team

 

[Rabbir]

Don't forget Hodges also has a pretty good record defensively against Jennings.

You're being pessimistic and it's unfounded. We've been playing awesome this year and have had a fantastic attitude, credit where it's due, us winning is because we're better, not because the other teams suck. Bulldogs out on 50 the next week, Roosters put on 50 last week, Cowboys beat a a Canberra team on fire before losing to us.

 

[Ari Gold]

Reckon Jarrod Wallace is pretty stoked at the moment just to get a bit of game time.

By the same taken, Oates and Lowrie should be getting pretty nervous!

 

[Cult]

So? Doesn't change the fact that they suck.

I asked why though, was kinda just bragging about knowing some though haha

Predictable attack

Hardly! We're making them nervous every time we attack.

They are saying Gillett touched it, harsh call imo. Didn't have much direction there, we need a proper 5/8th, the Hoffman experiment should be over with.

Would have been good to see a proper replay for that one. They always tend to miss showing them when it could make the ref look wrong.

Why don't Roosters players get sent off for all those penalties? It's ridiculous. Thaiday got sent off for less penalties last year. Also, Hala. Where did that come from? I was like woah woah woah as he was running.

 

[Kimlo]

And yes, we don't have Hodges, Hannant or McGuire for this game and since Kahu is out it means we have a winger playing 5/8. Given that, we probably should be losing by now.

 

[Ari Gold]

We're 100% predictable in attack when Hoffman receives the ball.

 

[Rabbir]

Is Kahu an actual 5/8th? Or also a winger/fullback playing 5/8th?

 

[GCBRONCO]

Come on boys, lets bring it home!

 

[Cult]

We're 100% predictable in attack when Hoffman receives the ball.

You know he won't pass but they don't know where he's going to run. Looked like he's made plenty of metres so far

 

[Big Pete]

Couple of nervous moments that can occur during a game of football but otherwise a good performance from us. Enjoying the interchange of passing between the forwards. Once Barba familiarises himself with the team and gets to 100% he could be deadly running off Parker. Some good signs right there.

Hunt has been impressive, it's been his night tonight. Hopefully he can bring it home.

Hoffman, still plenty to work on. Doesn't appear to position his body in a way that's conducive to passing.

 

[_wwong]

I am Hoffman's biggest fan when he's a winger. but if he won't play wing then we need to release him. rather have karmichael back

 

[Sproj]

Hoffman passed!

 

[Sproj]

You know he won't pass but they don't know where he's going to run. Looked like he's made plenty of metres so far

Yep hence he'd be good as a bench forward.
