POST GAME [Round 5, 2024] Broncos vs Storm

[Brocko]

As shit as it is right now at 2 and 3, if we could get some luck with injuries, it is looking like a year where the wins/losses might actually be close up the table.

Barring Penrith, can't see many running away with wins.

We've also had a tough draw to go with rubbish run of injuries.

Still give us a big chance of top 4.

 

[Browny]

Also I’m yet to see the ball grounded on 2 of their tries

 

[GCBRONCO]

Boy I hope we have Wilison back next round. Baker needs to go and keep Te Kura in the side.

 

[Culhwch]

I don't think we can be playing Te Kura week in week out. Way too early. Put him in the rotation, sure, but I think he and Willison both would benefit from spells in Cup still.

I'm also convinced that the bunker bought into the storm player celebrating the put down like he'd just won the lotto. There was zero conclusive evidence, unless they didn't show us a camera angle for whatever reason, to overturn that barge over.

It was the white thing in amongst all the other white things. Clear as.

Slap a bronco jersey on wishart thats a try all day mate.

Your jersey is closer to him than you, maybe ASICS will redirect it there for you?

Yeah yeah, brave loss. Blah blah. It's Melbourne FFS. WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE TO BEAT THESE PRICKS YOU HAVE TO TAKE IT.

Taking the 2 was never going to win us the game. We scored ridiculous tries and threw the ball around yet we take the 2 to go up by 4? Have we learnt nothing? We were never going to win by 4.

Also, Kotoni, PASS THE BALL AFTER A BREAK. PASS IT.

Lmao

The frustration. I can feel it radiating off the code that makes up your post.

Baker is very dissapointing. Hunt not so much because he literally came with no reputation like Baker. If Kevvie isnt going to give Oatesy more time in the back row over Hunt, we need to go to the market soon.

Agree, Baker is so so so shit. Imagine being a starting front rower, 40 minutes rest and getting bowled over by a reserve grade halfback... WTF is that shit?

As for Oatesy, I think Kevy will start to ramp up his game time in the backrow.. He has to be better than Hunt just by the sheer fact he's an obvious first grader

Get Tapau in, at least he brings a wealth of experience

 

[Loch Ness Monster]

what makes you think that? just pure speculation because you have no fucking idea lol.. It seems more likely to be the same guys that continually went short on dropouts, or leading by 4 with 6 to go decide to run on the 5th tackle from our 40 meter line... That seems alot more likely to me

Like I said, I can only imagine.
A lot of times the coach gets a message down to his guys in a situation like that and makes the call.
Without Reyno out there, there’s every chance that happened.

If we can hold onto Xavier and Ben for 2 or 3 years we just might see one of the best forward pack ever assembled.

8. Haas
10. Xavier
11. Piakura
12. Riki
13. Carrigan

15. Hetherington
16: Te Kura

I wouldn't mind that option either, just tell him to put his offloads in the bag. I used to think Joel Clinton was soft, Baker is a whole new level.

 

[Brocko]

I get the outrage on the 2 point option as it didn't work out, but I can only imagine the boys realised we were struggling in attack without Reyno, and probably needed a breather.

Frustrating, absolutely but can probably understand why the split second decision was made.

Look at the possession and yardage stats. I'd hazard a guess we were blowing hard.

I don't like the call, but I can understand the other side of why it was made.

Okay, i can only imagine a 7 year old child called for the goal from the sideline, being motivated to impress the kids, Carrigan decided to take the 2.

Every chance that happened too I guess....

I wasn't saying to have him in the side for long stints, but I think he can be there for a few more rounds still.

 

[Mick_Hancock]

Ezra was our best, Cobbo was our worst.

Definitely not our worse @HarryAllan7.
In fact, I think he played better than he did last week.

 

[broncsgoat]

ouch...

 

[Nerd]

I think Kevvy is doing well to limit Oates time as a back rower. Just increase his time on the field by 5 minutes a game and let him build some match fitness as the season rolls on. Who knows by the end of the season he could be a genuine part of the forward rotation.

 

[Swordfish]

This game has got everything in it.

Typical grubby play from the cheaters all night. They were getting away with too much. If not for 2 bombed tries from Billy & Arthurs, the game is ours.

Big Ben is here to stay. He & Willison will create havoc in the middle.

Kev should mandate & put a blanket ban on short kick offs. We suck at it in every aspect and give the opposing teams every opportunity to score right away.
