POST GAME Round 6 - Warriors vs Broncos

[mieko]

What a great win. Bird in the halves and BOOM!
Oates was massive though all played really well. That step on RTS was friggin glorious, unlucky for the call back. Bring on the storm.

Congrats on the win guys. You guys played really well and caught us offguard. Appreciate the members that have crossposted across the sites over past few sites - our fans have enjoyed the interaction and appreciated the banter.

New banner thanks to @Morkel will be up later tonight.

I think the forum is broken, I can't find the "that sucks" button.

 

[Broncos Maestro]

They are.

I go to every home game against the Warriors and I've never encountered one dickhead that's sour about losing.

They are always gracious.

Bulldogs on the other hand... Expect a punch up.

You’re lucky if it’s just a punch up- I’ve seen brawls and that’s when they’ve won!!

 

[Broncos Maestro]

Yes, this was our most entertaining game of the year. We played almost the entire 80 minutes.

Warning : You may want to order a Corey Oates body pillow after the game

What?!!! You don’t have already?!?!

What was Boyd doing hiding behind the post for Green's kick. He deadset froze. Great effort by Oates and to see Su'a stand up RTS augers well for the next 8 weeks. Boyd even kept up with Roberts when he made that break in the second half. Not sure who the other NZ forward was aside from Bunty boy but gee he runs hard.

If you're referring to hair probably Agnatius Paasi.

Surely Bird in the halves can't be ignored. I can't believe they didn't ask Wayne if he plans to keep him there for next week in the press conference

 

[Renegade]

Genuinely surprised, only caught bits of the second half but from what I saw we played a lot better.

Chin up warriors fans, you're still in for a good season. Let a lot more with a loss than you do with a win. Stick around.

That’s the only reason I just watched it [emoji23][emoji23]

I had a feeling Bird would suit us a lot more than Niko. Direct sort of half is way more preferable to another Milf clone. Gotta see how be goes for the next month or so. If he keeps getting picked there, at least.

 

[Jedhead]

If you're referring to hair probably Agnatius Passing.

Could be too. I rated him when he played at the Titans too. Any news on Lodge's ribs?

Warriors have always been my favourite 2nd team. A bit like us Broncos - real Jekyll and Hyde (when you’re hot it’s absolutely amazing to watch; when not...well you get the idea)

Yeah same, what a useless press conference, we will have to wait until Tuesday to get a fair idea. I'm going to the game next week, let's hope the Bird is the word

Congratulations on the win guys.

A Warriors fan here. When your team loses its natural to find all of the faults with your side. But you should still look at the opposition and give credit where its due. We were off but still probably would of beaten some other sides in the NRL. But that was definitely a game the Broncos won rather than the Warriors losing.

You guys started with a high completion rate and although ours wasn't bad the Broncos just never relented and kept it up all game. Your forwards just worked us over. We struggled to get down your end of the field.

Oates always seems to be handful for our guys to contain.

Good luck for the rest of the season guys.

Great win amazing what difference holding onto the ball can make. Oates was awesome sua was good look forward to him playing big minutes for next few months!!

Injury-hit Broncos bounce back to beat Warriors

April 14, 2018

The injury-hit Brisbane Broncos have broken the New Zealand Warriors' five-game winning streak with Saturday's hard-fought 27-18 victory at Mt Smart Stadium.

After two straight losses, the Broncos dug deep to claim their third win of the season, a feat that was even more impressive considering they lost Origin back-rower Matt Gillett and halfback Kodi Nikorima to injuries last week.

Outstanding performances from Corey Oates and Jack Bird – starting in the halves – proved too much for the Warriors as they were forced to chase the game from the start.

The Broncos jumped out to an early lead just five minutes in when Oates chopped back inside from 20 metres out and sliced through the Warriors' defence, a desperate legs tackle from Roger Tuivasa-Sheck not enough to stop the big man from stretching out and scoring under the posts.

That seemed to wake the New Zealanders up.

Off the back of a penalty, the hosts marched downfield and were able to force a repeat set off the boot of Blake Green.

Three plays later and the Warriors had their response – a perfect cut-out pass form Shaun Johnson sending the NRL's leading try-scorer David Fusitu'a across untouched.

Johnson's conversion from the eastern touchline was successful and the scores were level at 6-6 after just 10 minutes.

Green forced another goal-line dropout moments later and after defending back-to-back sets, the Broncos eventually gave away another penalty under the posts, Johnson kicking his side two points clear at 8-6.

A penalty moments later the other way gave Broncos winger Jamayne Isaako the chance to level the scores and his kick was a good one to lock things up at 8-8 after 20 minutes of play.

Isaako didn't have to wait long to be back in the action, in for a try just minutes later, the blistering James Roberts breaking through the Warriors defence on halfway and finding his winger in the corner to silence the Mt Smart faithful.

The 21-year-old was unable to convert his own try, however another penalty in the Warriors' red-zone moments later saw Isaako add two more and Brisbane took a 14-8 lead.

The Warriors weren't done with however and it was Green again who stepped up for the home side.

With five left in the first half Green grubbered one into the goal post padding, the deflection bouncing away from Darius Boyd and the Warriors' five-eighth was one hand to score his side's second.

Johnson's conversion was successful and the scores were locked up at 14-14.

A field goal from Anthony Milford in the final minutes of the half edged Brisbane in front 15-14 at the break.

The Warriors would be forced to play the remaining 40 minutes with 16 men, losing Leivaha Pulu to a left ankle injury.

The visitors started the second half the same way the ended the first and it only took four minutes before they were back on the board.

Bird, looking more and more comfortable at five-eighth, danced across field and laid on a short ball for Jaydn Su'a to crash over.
The following 10 minutes were an arm-wrestle, Brisbane enjoying a 90 per cent completion rate.

With just 15 minutes remaining, Isaako was on the end of a perfect shift to the right and a spectacular finish saw him cross for his second – and convert from out wide to push the lead to 27-14.

Johnson took it upon himself to lead a fightback and the former golden boot winner was able to step through the defence and score with eight minutes remaining.

His conversion went wide and the home side trailed 27-18.

And that's where things would say, Brisbane claiming the two points with an impressive away win.

Adding insult to injury, the Warriors also lost centre Solomone Kata to an leg injury in the late stages.

It's a pleasant surprise isn't it? Generally when fans from other forums come over they're complete flogs. (I'm looking at you, Cowboys & Raiders fans.)

We have had a few guys from other forums come over to troll a bit. It doesn't happen often though.

We had a lot of Wigan fans come across when we signed Sam Tomkins and also when our club announced a partnership with Wigan. That was pretty good getting a perspective on our new signing and guys giving a different point of view.

I’ll be keeping an eye out for the Facebook articles they should read something like this “4 Sydney clubs are looking to sign Broncos young gun Su’A”
Seems to be the usual trend after we win..

Didnt think we had a chance..........Glad I was wrong.
