Not only that.....but he seems to be an outright fucken mongrel. We haven't seen someone like that in a Brisbane jersey....for a long long time. Love it !!!

I reckon it was that first try that turned everything around. Yes it sounds obvious but it was more than just the points, it was that they trusted each other and the guy in the 7 led them. Turps put it in front of Gamble, Milf saw the opportunity and Gamble just put it there and trusted Milf, Milf in turn put it out there and trusted Isaako and from theat moment, it was like a switch was flicked and suddenly they woke up to the fact they are a team and if they work together, something good can happen. That might be the moment that changed this side for the better.

Yeah, players like him and Dearden get hyped after 1 game and then are expected to be good first graders straight away. These 2 clearly just aren't ready yet to be consistent, both have the talent but still need time.

it doesn't matter whether it's the best fullback in the game or the worst ... they all defend in the line these days ... we have Darius Boyd to thank for this trend

If there is one thing which came out of last night which means the most to me is that not only did we comeback from 22 down but went on with it to win and win well.
Given where we have been over the last few years, for mine, that's the real standout, and that is a team effort.

At worst case, but at this rate he might be the 7 we always needed.

and we had all sorts of issues with kicks in behind over the last few years when Darius was up in the line.
Isaako's issue seems to be urgency.
He knows he has to be in the line and then drop and float out the back, but he needs to be showing more urgency to stay in front of the ball.
That takes a shit ton of fitness to do.
From memory the fittest young players at the club the last few years have been Herbie and Niu... I'm sure Isaako is as well, but I can't recall how he usually goes with his fitness. He looks fit as ****, but if he's all power rather than stamina then perhaps he needs to change that aspect up.
What we do know about Isaako is that he is super committed and dedicated as a footballer off the field, and I'd say defence is one of those things that can be taught.
I think if we did get a Billy Slater in there to do 1v1 coaching of Isaako to fix his defence he could be a seriously dangerous fullback for us.

While I thought Isaako was one of the Broncos best 3 players, he needs to string at least a dozen quality games together before I begin rating him properly. He's been too inconsistent, his career so far has made Milford's consistency look like Cameron Smith. He needs to deliver next week too.

I was even more impressed with the win the second time. Watched while listening to the Trip m call. Great hearing Tallis have to suck it, unbelievably him and Dobbo thought both no Fafita no tries were tries, the second one they said didn't look like it had gone dead and they needed a more convincing angle. haha both angles clearly show the ball on the dead line. Oh and TPJ was so good at getting on top of Dave that Tallis called him Fafita instead of Tavita a couple of times haha what a clown.

Putting my love milf hat back on he had a clear line break assist missed out on by Riki dropping a sitter and also the kick at the end of the game was well weighted and should have led to a try.
I was
I think fatty said he was the biggest halfback he has ever seen and I'm thinking it's a fair cop.
I reckon he'll be our halfback for this season at least but with that attitude he has he has to be around this team going forward and a lock type role might be just the thing (the next Luke Lewis if not wally? Can I dare to dream?
)
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Size wise he wouldnt be different to a few 5/8 of the 80s and 90s. Those big bodies that were hard to tackle on the run. I reckon he would have been pretty successful back then.

I’m one of those who are off Milford but you are right about both.

And watching Lodge and Carrigan not putting the man on the ground on several occasions is an area we need to work on . If these two can't bust the line or offload they need to be more mongrel in their defense for mine .
