POST GAME Round 3 - Broncos vs Eels

[T-rent]

Same shit different year. Absolutely pathetic. Oates needs to be dropped and Hoppa and Staggs need to learn how to catch and hold the ball. Going to be a long season

 

[Foordy]

Milford is turning into an embarrassment. He was honestly shit house for most of the game.

the best halves to ever play the game would struggle with 39% possession and being camped in your own half most of the game

 

[Brocko]

Wasn't worth the wait and excitement I had all week for this....

That being said, you'd struggle to find a team that beats Parra tonight with all the 6 again calls and penalty's that kept us defending for so long.

Good thing #PenaltyBroncos is a thing hey

Happy for Croft to take charge but Milford long kick shits all over Crofts yet he didn’t take one.... wtf.

Where were his towering bombs???

 

[Rookie Alan]

It's a big call considering Offa and Lodge didn't play two games before and Lodge didn't even play a trial from memory.

These two didn’t act well last season either, so can’t think of any excuses for them

THIS!

 

[the_next]

37% vs 63% possession
17 vs 35 completed sets
30 vs 48 sets
134 vs 226 runs
1290 vs 2251 run meters
6 vs 1 penalties

Stats are legitimately unheard of.

 

[Broncs_Fan]

Parra are a very good side this year. We need to give them at least some credit.

He was concentrating on his epic grubber.

He just doesn’t step up. When did he have that year where his long kicking was amazing? It’s like he can’t get it together and apply all the skills he’s learnt over the years. Every season he seems like a green 5/8th.

We hung in there, but basic errors and fatigue killed us. Its how we bounce back that will define our season imo.

Poor bloke was buggered. Probably shouldnt say that, @PNG Broncos fan88 will start crying.

Hey wonker, give it a rest. Same as your constant put downs of the starting 9.

 

[Galah]

Why isn’t milf kicking? His kicking game is leagues about Croft’s...

 

[Unbreakable]

People shitting on Milford are literally clueless, he should have had a try and a try assist to his name and we were down the other end of the field for a grand total of like 90 seconds.

Wally Lewis in his prime on the Xerri juice wouldn't have been able to get involved in this game. So many errors, penalties, 6-to-go's, poor refereeing decisions, zero luck and we were putting ZERO pressure on Moses / Brown / Gutherson all game, just letting them run 10-15 metres before they kick..

At least they would have had a go. Milford just hides...

 

[Old Mate]

Another thing, we’re the eels just showing incredible line speed in defence or was there a **** ton of offsides?

 

[NSW stables]

Prepare for rant
Defence: i HATE our defensive strategy. Our passive, slow line speed which stops and waits for the attack is pathetic. It enables the play makers to run to the line and position their runners to hit the gaps. If their play breaks down they then can pass it to the other side of the field where there are fewer defenders and we stand there and watch them! Can we please work on securing the ball to prevent offloads?

Attack: hard to comment on given our limited opportunities, but it was parra's defence that did that. They were aggressive and quick off the line and unlike us, parra did not stop and wait, their defence ran through us. Our fowards tried but i cant help but think the havoc they would cause if they ran onto the ball from depth. And why the **** have we reverted back to 5 hit ups and a bomb? Or a looping kick that is caught on the full?

Positive: desperation defence was pretty good until the game became out of reach.

We’re just slow and catch the ball flat footed.

I agree but he just camps himself out the back waiting for the 5th if he is the main kicker.
