Round 5 - Broncos vs Eels - LIVE Discussion

[GCBRONCO]

back to a 4 point ballgame, not as bad but still a lot of work to do.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Great to see Hodges having such an impact on return, good signs.

 

[Cult]

Kennedy is becoming a real let down. He looks lethargic. Doesn't look hard to tackle at all.

 

[Rally Towel]

Needed that! Sloppy half but not an unassailable lead.

Hopefully come out firing on all cylinders in the second half. They're really out hustling us with quick play the balls and easy metres.

And ffs, hang onto the bloody ball!

 

[Unbreakable]

.
I basically just repress any time when he does something decent, because I know it's going to be followed by several garbage plays.

Jack Reed is also shit.

EDIT: cut the insults.

 

[Fozz]

Classic Hodgo magic. Now we just need to hold onto the ball and get the forwards moving the ball around.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Of course it would be fucking Hodges returning from an Achilles rupture that would save our arses. What a terrible first half, both in our execution and from the refs. That last Parra penalty made me want to throw my T.V out the window.

5 times while attacking the Parra line we knocked the **** on. What has happened to us? I dare say Griffinball might be back. What is it about fucking Parramatta and us at home?

 

[Manifesto]

I'd like the refs to crack down on play the balls. Early in the game, prob in the first 10 minutes, I noticed three incorrect play the balls from Mannah, where he didn't use the foot. Right in front of the ref too.

I still don't know what people expected from him, he hasn't been particularly good since his injury back in 2010 or 11. Still think we played huge overs, especially now that Parker is playing in the front row too.

 

[Kimlo]

Hodges is such a legend, still our best back. What magic from him.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Deadset put Hodges at 5/8th for the second half, he would do more for us from his running game alone there then Hoffman could.

Just thought he'd run hard and not turn into James Tamou.. Poor buy at the moment.

It's a little tough to do much when the defence knows you are the only genuine ball player in the side.

He needs a real halves partner, and it'll also allow Barba to start playing his more natural game.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Does Hodges not have one of the deadliest fends in the game? He is literally fucking Terminator.

 

[winslow_wong]

how lethal is Hodges. his palm sent radrara hobbling and that kid is a monster.

And regularly walking forward off the mark and to the side of the markers.

jeez that grinds my gears
how hard is it to play the ball where you are tackled
sam perrett is the worst at it

 

[winslow_wong]

they should have backed Hodges for 80 mins. now we have maranta wasting a bench spot. it was always going to be disruptive. no wonder we are struggling
