Have we won a short drop out this year?

 

[I bleed Maroon]

If we score first in the 2nd it'll be a close game. If they do, it will be the equivalent to the Souffs game last year.

It feels like Roosters are beating us from our fuckups, If we can clean it up I wouldn't rule us out yet.

It’s been like this for three years, they don’t learn, either Kev isn’t telling them to fucking stop it or they just don’t respect the footy. It’s endless

Walshy…. IT’S A TEAM GAME MATE!!!!

 

[Old Mate]

I hate their body language too.

Yeah they look completely out of it. Frustrating.

 

[winslow_wong]

When you have a guy filling in, WITHOUT a fucken clue at centre…
Why the **** would you keep running plays that way?!

All of our guns are on the left now and we don’t even have a sweep play anymore.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Really poor half of football, Klown is letting the Roosters hold us down and really slow the tackle but our handling has been crap for a while now and we are finally being punished for it.

 

[BroncosFever]

You guys seriously can’t blame Kev for not carrying a back on the bench, if none of our backs cop an injury it’s a wasted interchange (which has happened a few times already).

 

[Volvo Driver]

55% possession and down by 12 points.

And it's not like the Roosters are completing high either.

 

[broncos4life]

Lucky not to be down by 30.

Have we won a short drop out this year?

I literally can't remember one in attack or defence

 

[Nerd]

We have to stop trying to score on every play. Reece just needs to run the ball first then look to pass not the other way around. That Mariner bat back when he should have just caught the ball and ran to the line is really hurting us.

The Chooks are leaving the line before the ball hits the ground nearly every set and Klein has only got them twice so far.

Another game where we lose an outside back and the backline reshuffle is really hurting us.

 

[Big Pete]

Need a big second half, otherwise the Broncos have well and truly been exposed as also-rans in this competition. There's no reason other than utter incompetence for this scoreline and the lack of urgency, particularly from the back three has been incredibly disappointing.

 

[FACTHUNT]

I have more respect for Paul Kent than we have for the ball

 

[Mightybroncs2k17]

We deserve everything we cop tonight.

Had ample opportunities and we are getting the 50/50 calls.

Our big men were winning the battle of the ruck so let's have a simple gameplan this half. Straight and hard up the middle, the backs can just sit and wait. Need to just play through the middle and work of quick play the ball.

 

[winslow_wong]

The good teams are letting walsh run and pushing him towards the sideline. Then a stupid pass will most likely happen.

 

[Battler]

I can’t believe we’re not hitting the left more often. They have a 70kg half out there who is known for being crap in defence, Piakura was cms away from scoring in the one structured play we put on down that side, and yet we just keep going right.

 

[Mustafur]

It seems everytime we struggle now it's because we need to cover centre, I wouldn't blame it all on that this game because we are playing very stupid, but it's a very hard position to cover when you lose an outside back.
