Round 6 - Warriors vs Broncos

[Brotherdu]

Absolutely

I disagree, watch the replay again, the ball was tumbling away form him, no way he could have reacted in time.

FG is a smart move - dont knock it.

Some people have agendas. Cant see what Boyd could have done there, we just ran out of luck with Milfs kick and then the ball hitting the post. Boyd was the only one back there, where was everyone else on that side?

He's the fullback, he's supposed to be back there on his own.

 

[GCBRONCO]

FG is a smart move - dont knock it.

Given how the side is traveling, going in halftime with the lead against one of the leading sides in the competition so far and knowing your in the game is a good mental and morale boost.

 

[Wolfie]

No, he should be the last man back there, not the only man back there, not one other player chased either green or blair

 

[I bleed Maroon]

I would've gone the full 5 tackles to try and draw a penalty or a try but the field goal isn't a bad option. Going into HT with the lead against the undefeated Warriors is all mental

Then kick it dead. Dont just look at it. There's no way there the best option was to do nothing.

 

[Kimlo]

The warriors were holding down forever in those final sets. The smart option was the FG. We were never going to score a try with the PTB being that slow.

 

[Wolfie]

Well, i found out it was Tommy who had the fitness test now, groin apparently.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

What's the word on Lodge?

 

[scobie]

No, he should be the last man back there, not the only man back there, not one other player chased either green or blair

Okay maybe the chase was poor. But Boyd should have dealt with that.

They were also coming off their line VERY quickly. Sus...

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Any other FB would have attempted to try and smother the loose ball but Boyd was like,”**** this I’ll watch when someone picks up the ball”.

Can we shop for a 1 while we’re looking for a 7 ??

 

[Pub Steak]

Slow mo makes it seem like they have way more time. If you’ve played footy you know he couldn’t have gotten to it. But it’s because he plays in the d line all the time. He should’ve been in position and that would’ve given him a chance. Either way, gotta be happy with our forwards, and completion rate! This is a big positive step for our season revival.

 

[Wolfie]

I really dont see it this time tbh. Just one of those things, it hit the post and bounced their way.

 

[Brotherdu]

Then kick it dead. Dont just look at it. There's no way there the best option was to do nothing.

Sure, if it was an option, but there was no opportunity to do so. The ball was moving faster and was further away from him than you think.

 

[Dee]

So far, I'm happy. We look better than last week but we are so unconfident. We look clunky. Defense is ok. Let's see if we can ice this game and pull off a great win.

on the positive our forwards are not getting dominated

on the negative our kicking game as been real hit and miss. i think most of warriors points originated from a poor kick from us that gave them the upper hand to start the set.
