PRE-GAME Round 3 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[broncsgoat]

no way on Gods green Earth should we be losing ground to THAT pack.....even at our worst we are far superior to the Dogs forwards....

Watch as Milf has his best 80 minutes for the season here....

Would be doing well to play better than he did against the top 4 bound Eels

 

[Gaz]

Yep......about right for us.

He did well, especially in that first half when the Eels made 9 errors. Wish he could play like that when things are more evenly matched.

Im trying to be more positive, but i cant help but wonder what the ramifications of losing to the doggies this week would be.

We aren't going to lose. I just don't see any scenario where they win the game. Not one.

It's the people setting him up with a reason to discredit him if he has a good game I take issue with because he played well against top quality team.

How many tackles did he miss in the 'great game' he had? I mean he missed 12 so far in two games and is the fifth worse player in the NRL.

I'm expecting us to lose.

3 or 4? I literally have no idea

Not sure what you mean. The only thing people say when he has a good game is he better have another one next week. Doesn't matter who the opposition is.

That means he missed 8 or 9 last game? Wouldn't you call for ANY player who missed 8 or 9 in a single game to be dropped? If not, why not? I'm thinking he missed more than 3 or 4 in that 'great game' against Parramatta.

I’d be more inclined to drop Croft who spilt his lollies and lost us the parramatta game

 

[_wwong]

Yep......about right for us.

The curse of signing a broncos contract.

Just in by 30 ffs

Context is everything, unless one is blinded by bias, which at least you admit, but pump it for all it's worth anyway ...

So back to the topic. How well did Isaako organise the defensive line, or, anyone else for that matter, in a lot of those situations? As an example, weren't in fact both of Fifita's tries last week due to shoddy, or no defensive line organisation and coordination, which for mine, largely explains why Isaako is a poor FB? Like 5 defenders on 7 incl. Fifita? Sure Milford's tackle attempt there, and others were poor, but still, let's look at the big picture to explain the small, like not simply abstracting stats from their full and proper context.

This is interesting despite Seibold:

There is no such thing as "despite Seibold." There is to Seibold. And there is not to Seibold. There is no question.

Or more accurately,

To Seibold or To Totally Seibold - the meaning is destroy or Blitzkrieg, there is nothing other than these.

Talk about pumping something up ! Look at the four words at the bottom of every post you make. A bitchy slap at Boyd and intended to denigrate. You continue to give life to an out of context quote despite knowing it misrepresents his view. That's pumping up.

NRL “crackdown” on dangerous contact after their screw ups last week means they will be looking to make an example of someone this week, tread very carefully Tevita!
