Fucking take a deep breath guys. Literally everything went against us that game. We would be playing without Reyno in the near future anyway. Need Rogers or Madden to come in and do there job and let Walsh and Mam step up like they were. Even after everything that went against us we maybe win it if Mam doesn’t go off for a phantom HIA.

There needs to be some accountability for the independent doctor and this shit. Mam was shocked when he was told and came back on as soon as the 15 minutes was gone.

I'll take exception to this.

Wtf?! I've been asking for solid, just do your role.

Reece Walsh lost us this game. It's his, lack of respect for the situation that puts us under pressure.

That match was probably the worst reffered match I've ever seen before Ash Klien was absolutely horrible and cost us big.

I can't recall any howlers and the Broncos were the beneficiaries of a generous advantage call. The Riki try could have easily been called back for Carrigan charging into Collins as well, albeit the bunker appeared to have applied common sense to that ruling.

Brisbane just didn't control the ruck anywhere near as well as the Roosters and it eventually took it's toll. While the Roosters were obviously spoiling the ruck and getting under the skin, it did take it's toll and the Broncos did nothing to return to serve. As a result, Klein was screaming at the Broncos players to move because they weren't doing enough to make a nuisance of themselves.
 
It's getting frustrating to see so many random injuries, especially when it is against the good sides. In every game that we have lost this year, there have been unexpected injuries that have lead to the entire team needing to be reshuffled. It feels like we were in all those games, only to be derailed by a bunch of random injuries to players in positions that are hard to cover for.

Tonight we were forced to move players all over the field just to plug a gap. Despite all the injuries though, we needed to be better with the ball and with our discipline. We need to invent a more conservative style of play when things aren't clicking. The 'score off every play' mentality is letting the opposition off the hook too easily. Walsh just kept making the same sort of mistakes all game and it kept putting us under pressure.

The Mariner sin bin didn't help things and in the end the injuries were too much to overcome. The positive, if there is one, is that even though we played like crap, it seemed like we were still in it until the Mam HIA. We are trying hard, but we just need to be smarter.
 
Realistically, it will simply be Madden/Rogers and Oates in. No stress because we have run almost the exact same team out multiple times this year. We looked like we were rushing so much in the first 20 and Reynolds didn't reign them in at all during that time. We had no respect for the ball, nor in wrapping up the ball, and one offload from Easts got them on the front foot.

Started off well but Walsh really cost us with how frantic he was playing and how much he tried to force things. Once the the injuries kicked in, and the dumb sin bin happened we were no chance.

I dont think enough of our big players stood up when we were down. Carrigan did, but thats about it for our big game players.

I thought Ezra was looking like he wanted the ball, but then copped that HIA... I'm interested to see how he goes now without Reynolds.

I don't want to see him trying to be a 7 with game managing and kicking, but we will need him to take more ownership of the attack now and he's looked pretty good at this year when Reynolds hasn't been there.
 
Mariner has been pretty poor but I think we need to realise how young and inexperienced he still is. He’s actually been ok in defence but let himself down in attack.

Well with all that carnage it was brilliant to see Piakura still healthy after 80 minutes.
Hopefully the boys learn from that that they need to go back to last year’s style where we played nonfrantic footy for the first 30 minutes and then as we eased ahead we went for broke. At the minute it’s like we need to score on every play.

Walsh probably played his worst game ever tonight. Haas looked so underdone too. Arthur’s is a big loss and I just hope that’s the end of the injuries.

FMD Cobbo was so slow tonight. Baker went well ….is that a plus? Our forwards should have bossed that Rorters pack but they were on a swanny most of the night in defence. Not surprising though when our backs gave the ball away almost as soon as we got it.

I think Mariner is a bit like Cobbo where is a centre but playing on the wing.
