Round 5 - Titans vs Broncos

[Taylor1921]

Get Roberts I feel sorry for him!

 

[Mitch06]

A few real shitty calls in this.

 

[jd87]

does any one think our attack looks worse so far this year?(compared to last) could it be anything to do with no kevie walters as assistant coach i wonder?

 

[Rhino1001]

Broncos need to wake up, I think they see this game as an easy win so there just working on the right when they should be shutting out the game by going down the left. Hunt and roberts have been the best.

As expected, it's an ugly old game this.

The Broncos are arguably the best team in the competition, if not out-right the best team but they're letting themselves at crucial moments. Two moments come to mind in the first half. Firstly, Oates should have just backed himself to score. By going for the spectacular grounding he gave Mead a great opportunity to knock the ball on and to Dave's credit he took it. Then there was the Roberts break where he threw the ball to the wrong bloke. He aimed for Hunt, when Milford was the guy and try as he might Milford couldn't reel it in.

When you blow chances like that, you always feed into the opposition and to the Titans credit they've been matching the Broncos set for set. They've kept it fairly simple and backed the kicking game of Taylor. For the most part, Ash has handled it, but notice how he faulted when he was under the pressure of Thaiday? Those are the moments that concern me in Taylor's game and why I don't think he'll live up to the wraps this year.

I'd like to see more structure from the Broncos in the second half. Forwards running onto passes and backs trying plays on the back of it. At the moment, it seems like the backs are getting the ball at inopportune times and it's killing the Broncos momentum.

defintely wondered.. (RE attacking minus walters)

keeping in mind new roberts and no hodges.and a new backline every other game, so might just need some tweaking thru the season

defintely need to go left more (esp now with roberts banged up!)

 

[Waynesaurus]

Roberts looks like he has been needled up and will come back.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

Roberts looks like he has been needled up and will come back.

Hopefully a good sign that it was just a nasty burner and not a tear

 

[sus]

really wow team man too..

was looking bug eyed for him on screen during locker room 1/2 time footage but no sign on 9

 

[broncoboy]

i agree our attack doesnt look anywhere near as crisp towards the en d of last year every time we were near our tryline we looked like scoring or did score

 

[jd87]

just got a real fear kevie was a big reason for our attack and the boys might be missing him. really hope im wrong and we just havnt nailed down the combinations yet still early days.

 

[Broncoman]

Roberts is still out there

Really like the involvement of Ofahengaue so far.

It's good to have some size in the middle.
