POST GAME [Round 8, 2024] Broncos vs Wests Tigers

[I bleed Maroon]

Missed the second half but the first half we didn’t respect the ball as much as I’d like.

What injury concerns are there?

Only one, Madden with a pec, Staggs could be in trouble for a high shot. Reyno and Walsh looked lame late but it was only (really) bad cramp

Lmao @ the Tigers ball boys clinging to the boys for their signatures.

How popular are some of the young blokes in this team?

It's so bizarre. At their age I would have rather been hit by a bus than get something signed by Andrew Johns

I wonder if the titans find themselves wondering why they are paying fifita roughly the same as piakura and riki combined. God our back rowers were good tonight.

 

[Waynesaurus]

A win is a win...... But if I'm honest I'm a little pissed off.

I hated everything about that game, from the officiating, to the injuries and our ball control.

Just utter crap all round.

Left some tries out there and not our best but we seem to still pump teams even at that.
Mariner really needs to switch on sometimes a few missed opportunities for him and not being ready for a kick, we've seen it before this season. Seen the players interviewed early this year and apparently he's a bit of a space cadet.
Really disappointing for Jock last couple games he's been starting to show what he's got.
Haas looked even fitter and faster tonight than normal.
Willison again is something else.
Walshy as good as you are please drink some hydralytes before the game.

What was controversial about the reffing?

Missed a badly blatant offside and denied a legit Tigers try.

Just blatantly obvious game management going on from Atkins. He seemed obsessed with getting the Tigers over the line before HT (and just about did were it not for someone in the bunker reading the rulebook), missed an offside tackle then he slugged us with some ridiculous penalties in the second half like a "dangerous tackle" that wasn't anything close then penalized a head clash as "contact with the head".

Just absolutely clueless stuff.

our defence was exceptional. If Reece wasn’t on half a leg we would have kept a clean sheet - I don’t think Staines gets either of those tries.

However what they did hilight is why Oates isn’t an auto selection anymore: just too slow turning and running. Sad because he was excellent otherwise.

Time to give my mum nightmares of The Broncos

It wasn’t a try, can’t lose control of the ball and expect to get the try.

He was getting us back 12m all night and the Tigers were lucky to be back 9m, we were being game managed into a closer contest.

I disagree. Rewatched it a few times and its a bazillionth of a second the ball bobbles in his hand in the air and he regathers and plants it.

Its insane to watch it at 100 fps and call any movement of the ball separation at those speeds.
I would flip a table if that was an overturned Bronco try.

When you see this team put it together for 20 mins you realise.... there is no team that can go with us if we put 80 mins together and are injury free. Not well played tonight but **** we have some talent and are well coached..

Ps. No team includes Penrith (terrible 60 mins in gf and we still nearly won)

 

[Browny]

Thanks lads and ladettes for the game updates

Is Arthur’s the player we always wanted Kahu to be?

Feel that’s a really good shout… also falls into the what we wanted from Gerard Beale
