POST GAME Round 6 - Broncos vs Roosters

Aldo said:
Great to wake up this morning. Top effort from the boys. Going to go all out and shout the family some fish and chips this weekend, that's how happy I am.

On another note, that no try was disgraceful. Should be fucking dropped to park footy after that effort. I thought the refs were totally hopeless 5 years ago, but they are progressively getting worse every year. It's just a total lottery out there at the moment. Feel sorry for my TV, constantly yelling at the poor fucking thing. I can see myself throwing something through it soon.

Go the broncs

The thing about that disallowed try is that's what rugby league fans pay their money to see. to disallow it in such a limp way is a crime against the game. A CRIME I TELLS YA!!!!

Ferguson's defence is just as bad as Moga's at centre. I haven't had much time to watch games this year but last year Fergo was all over the shop. Just shit technique I think.

I think the calls to axe Moga are a bit premature. Sure Ferguson made him look ordinary , but then again Ferguson is pretty extraordinary . I think he does need to lift his intensity though . At times he just looked a yard off the pace of the game .

I tend to agree, but if he is swapped out I won't lose sleep either.

Pretty sure Blake does the same to us every game regardless of who he is marking. Final in 2015 comes to mind when he went around Reed twice. All of the players should be aware of his ability close to the line.

There was a couple of highlights for me in the game.
That TPJ pickup from the ground and then the 20 metre floating pass on the fly was fucking mint.
Maccas ankle tap and TPJs intercept a moment later off the same play buried them
Hunts no try which was an absolute rubbish decision but it was good to see our halves running off each other again
And last but no least, Maccas sweet dummy again. Who the **** said it doesn't work
 
Let's just recap Morkel's Pre-Season Predictions:

* Kicking duties will eventually be shared between other spine members to take pressure off Hunt and cause doubt in the defensive line. Confirmed, Round 3.

* Attacking gameplan will be implemented gradually throughout the season in order to keep future opposition guessing. Confirmed, Round 6.

* Morkel to win "Least Humble in Correct Predictions" award. Pending.

Agreed on both of these, the first one was a moment of magic, the second one the Benny Hill theme was playing in the background.

Moga's first miss was 4 on two really, hard to stop that . I admit he was in no mans land, but I think he is over compensating for milf. He is sticking to close to him , has obviously been told to help him out .

Yeah feel the first try probably wasn't solely Moga's fault he probably needed to identify the overlap and come up and flatten Keary. However, Milf and Glenn both ended up in no mans land because neither of them slid across enough
 
One thing I did like out of the game. When Hunt went off there was a moment where Milf drifted left to right as first receiver and played a beautiful short ball that almost busted them.

He looked very comfortable doing it and he could be the 7 with knik at 6 next year. He has already started taking a fair share of the kicking duties and I also thought knik's kicking looked very fluid and natural. The bomb in particular came off very sweetly, was that the one that skd got smashed on???
 
One thing became clear last night is that Mead should never play reserve grade ( ie Q cup ) again. Don't know why the Tits would ever let him go or why we signed him just to stick him in reserve grade. He is an elite player and derserves to play NRL week in week out , if not for us then some other team.

Broncos defeat Roosters 32-8: Five things we learned
Peter Badel and Rikki-Lee Arnold, The Courier-MailApril 6, 2017 11:07pm

MOGA couldn’t handle it, so Mead did the heavy lifting and Thaiday’s good on the bench. Here’s what else we took from Brisbane’s victory.

1. TAUTAU Moga should be axed. Since a promising round-one debut for the Broncos, the hulking centre has been quiet and last night he was a turnstile in defence. Granted, he set up a late try, but he gifted the Roosters two four-pointers with feeble defensive efforts and also made a handling error. Jordan Kahu would be a better option at centre with David Mead a viable option on the wing.

2 — DAVID Mead was finally handed his Broncos debut and handled the occasion well. With Corey Oates ruled out with a groin injury, Mead played outside an erratic Moga to put in a solid first performance for Brisbane. He scored a try late in the match and also impressed with his running game, making 193m off 19 runs. With four tackle busts and three offloads on top of this, Mead did well to earn himself a recall next week.

3 — THE Broncos should persist with Sam Thaiday on the bench. While he is undoubtedly starting quality, Thaiday always gives Brisbane a major lift with his experience and energy off interchange. Coach Wayne Bennett made a late switch by putting Thaiday on the bench and the tactic worked, with the Maroons veteran scoring with his second touch of the ball.

4 — BRISBANE hooker Andrew McCullough is in his career-best form. Always one of the Broncos’ most reliable, McCullough was on fire against the Roosters, scoring the first try of the match out of dummy-half. He also broke Sydney’s spirit in the 57th minute with an outstanding try-saving ankle tap on Mitchell Pearce.

5 — MAROONS coach Kevin Walters says Aidan Guerra is an automatic selection for Origin next month, but the Roosters forward should not get too comfortable. While he put in a mammoth effort in defence and was solid in attack, he was far from the star of Sydney’s forward pack and did not have the desired impact when things were tough for his side. He is reliable, but he might need to take his game to another level before donning a Queensland jersey again.

I remember Justin Hodges having a shocker and surviving. I think Moga will retain his place a little longer.

The Mead try happened because of the Thaiday try.

The defence couldn't slide out onto Moga and he got outside of his man. Then it was draw and pass.

The out the back play works best if the lead runner is also a potential ball carrier.

Then the playmaker just has to react to what the defence does. Watch Thurston and Cronk, they are brilliant at reading which pass to throw.
