POST GAME [Round 5, 2025] Broncos vs Tigers

Willisons second try was probably the craftiest dummy half/ruck play I’ve seen from the broncos in a long time if not ever. Is this Trent Barrett’s doing?

Tigers shoot up it was designed to get behind the defence. Willison timed his run perfectly and the pass was great. The line kept going up too far.

That was Barrett taking advantage of a fast line and using the tap.
 
Since Barrett / Madge, we've probably looked the most dangerous in the attacking 20 then we ever have. The amount of times we get to the other end and walk away with points seems high.

Close to the line attack has improved and things set up to take advantage of things they’ve seen during the week.

Both Willison and Te Kura are scoring tries and using their unique body shape better.
 
Who the **** does the Dally M voting?

Willison not getting any points. Patty and Payne were good, but in terms of making an impact and turning the game, that was Willison and he doesn't even get 1 point.

I always thought Dally M`s were best and fairest ?
So sportsmanship should also factor in the voting .
 
Pretty ordinary performance overall. Defence a concern that’s for sure. Our backrow looks so ordinary it hurts. I miss having quality edge forwards. I don’t know if I’d be re-signing Cobbo for anymore than $300k tbh 90% of his football is lazy garbage.

big fan of Barrett’s attacking mind. Just need to hope he’s never our head coach haha.

That game against Parra in the wet he had them running some attractive shape, they just kept bombing them, but it was kinda like what the bulldogs did to us, only the passes didn’t land

Which one of these did you take an hour before watching the game .
Fess up .

Oscar does a great job; I didn’t give enough credit to Piakura or Walsh. They sold that whole thing.
Agreed. Teams are so keen to shut down Walshy now. His mere presence anywhere near the 10 metre line sounds massive alarms bells for the opposition. If they don't react to him he is in danger of punishing them badly and if they do it leaves space for other lead runners.

This move will evolve to allow them to choose Piakura, Walsh or Willison depending on how the opposition line moves up after the PTB.

Is this the structured attack we've all been craving for the past umpteen seasons?

I think it is.
