Round 3 - Broncos vs Eels

[Old Mate]

So essentially 4-0 in penalties in the fifth minute? Ok then.

But it doesn’t actually count as a penalty though right? Can have even penalty counts while swaying results, perfect.

 

[Aldo]

Parra has been good. Fast game, really enjoying it. We're not far away. Probably need a bit more support around the ball in attack. We're still a bit one out whereas Parra are going up in numbers.

 

[Foordy]

Has Turps forgotten his running game? Not impressed so far.

you can say the same for Milford ... he has run for a grand total of 13m tonight

 

[Mister Wright]

So now that Macca’s gone are people going to shit on Turpin like they did him? A whole set there where the forwards had to stop to catch a pass from dummy half. I like Turpin, but surely he needs to be held to the same standards on the forum as Macca.

just noticed if you mouse over the ESTd 2001 logo at the bottom of the page you see the broncos goat

 

[Fozz]

I don't like the six again rule. It seems to be too liberally applied and favours the side with more possession and keeps them in front. It makes it harder to shift the momentum from the front runner.

 

[GCBRONCO]

It's funny that Croft is providing both the direction and the running game in the halves.....

Seriously? I feel Turpin gets an unfair wrap from some fans. He has been tackling his heart out and has been directing play really well and even has thrown in some good set plays. He has been great.

 

[Dash]

I don't mind it but what is the point on calling it 6 again on the first tackle?

Personally I'd rather a free 30m from a kick for touch. This rule is going to end up benefitting the defence more than the attacking team in a lot of situations.

****, you just made it all make sense.

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

Joffa has been lazy as **** so far, no line speed at all

I’ve noticed this too, so damn flat footed. I don’t know where he earns his massive ego.

If Macca were in the 9 and not Turpin, Parra would be leading by 18 points

 

[Viti]

It seems to me he needs to make it personal to get his head in the game, if he’s not trying to hurt someone he’s a passenger

 

[Whatisgoingon]

Why is it when our forwards get passed the ball they are ALWAYS flat footed. Run on to the ball son. And Jamil gives me heart palpitations everytime he gets the ball

 

[Dazza 92]

need to stop the offloads with 2-3 players in the tackle....second phase play will punish us eventually...if we can even up possession count to more like 50-50 then we are every chance to get something tonight...

How does Herbie get on the field here..???.....assuming no injuries....

 

[Foordy]

him and Milford need to swap pay checks

Can you imagine Macca in the speed of this game? I’ll take Turpin thanks.

Underrated...

It's a fairly extensive distance for rubbing, to be fair.
