Round 5 - Broncos vs Eels - LIVE Discussion

[Unbreakable]

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.

Terrible excuse, I originally had come to that conclusion as well, but after watching him tonight, following his every move on the 4th & 5th tackle, he's genuinely just not good and constantly makes the wrong decision, the only way a good Five-Eighth would help him is by potentially taking the spotlight off him so people don't really see how many stupid choices he makes per game.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I'm not expecting much of a turnaround from us in the second half. Griffin doesn't know how to raise his voice. It'll be up to Hodges and Parker to stick the boot in. Barba needs to wake the **** up.

 

[vertigo]

Show the rest of the comp we're not walkovers, just need to play 40 mins of smart footy.

 

[winslow_wong]

until Hoffman plays center or wing, barba and him can't play in the same team

 

[austin71]

Yeah I agree the Eels are stepping to the side of the mark. Macca has had a great defensive game but thrown more dummies then Dress sale! Pass the ball ffs it's bad enough Hoffman cant pass the ball!

**** what is with our ball handling. Just wasted an amazing opportunity. **** me we are playing like we are chasing 40 with 10 to go

 

[GCBRONCO]

Damn what a golden opportunity.

 

[Fozz]

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.

Nothing new there, been going on all season.

 

[vertigo]

Just one of those games...

 

[winslow_wong]

McCulloch has butter fingers today.

 

[Alec]

Sandow with 2 great defensive plays in a row, haha.

 

[BroncosFan_Corey]

Two sets two knock ons... lovely

 

[broncos4life]

How did sandow get away with that. The refs are so shit

 

[GCBRONCO]

I guess it was coming.

 

[winslow_wong]

seriously though. para has been our bogey side forever. they just have our measure

 

[mitch222]

nice to see we have fixed our ball handling :rolleyes:

 

[GCBRONCO]

That should have been a penalty.

 

[vertigo]

Kick and chase > bomb when we're that far out.. they're not going to drop a sitter.
