POST GAME Round 9 - Broncos vs Bulldogs

[Cult]

How many points did Boyd score?

You don’t really think this is a good argument do you?

 

[theshed]

5'10 - Dufty, Niu
5'11 - RTS, Brimson, Paps, Drinkwater, Josh Jackson
6'0 - Boyd, Hoy, Ponga, Tedesco, Hughes
6'1 - Allan, Hopoate, Fido, Holmes, Johnston, Moylan, Morgan, Norman, Munster
6'2 - Dugan, Wighton, Meaney
6'3 - Gutherson (I was really surprised about this)
6'4 - T.Turbo, Mitchell

He's definitely small compared to the other fullbacks but Dufty is not bad company to be in. Most of them are around that 6ft height. I like the fact he is something different. The Broncs have been playing catch up for years, time to try and get ahead of the game for once.

He also looks about 5-10 kg heavier than both Dufty and Paps, while being shorter and only 18.

I was also shocked by Gutho’s height. What an alpha. I was a bit surprised by Val too. For some reason I imagined him as like 5’11.

 

[I bleed Maroon]

He's a try scoring machine:

By the time he goes over the touch line he has 6 defenders all over him. SIX. And he still managed to get his arm free and keep the ball in field. What a champion.

EDIT: Five I should say. That last **** coming in late didn't even bother trying to stop Isaako

Of course. There is no better sporting sledge than "look at the scoreboard." You picked a bad week to bucket Isaako vs Boyd when the points Isaako scored were almost the difference between the two sides, and Boyd scored no tries and played no part whatsoever in any. And if you want to compare them side by side have a look how far Boyd was trailing the chase when Isaako scored off Milford's kick.

Except your point is bullshit and you’re obviously a troll.

 

[Unbreakable]

Isaako, Boyd & Farnworth all are poo, no point wasting too much time comparing which one is the most poo.

Maybe Farnworth could provide more from the wing, we'll have to wait and see in his case, but his performances at centre haven't made him look like he's anything special.

Maybe you should watch the game. You seem to have missed the highlights.

I'm only sticking up for Isaako. The poor bastard scored nearly half the points, and didn't let in any tries. He's earned a free pass this week. Cut the bloke some slack.

Fun fact, I saw Tommy Turbo at Movieworld early this year get told he couldn’t get on the roller coaster because he was too tall.

I’m sceptical of that Niu height. I saw him with my own eyes last night and the blokes fucking diminutive. I’m not saying he can’t be a good footy player I just don’t think he has the physical attributes to be elite.

To be fair, I'm sceptical of a lot of those heights. I just can't believe Gutherson is 6'3/ I am sure Holmes is also shorter than what is listed. Quite a few other just feel wrong.

 

[Alec]

A lot of the shorter players seem to add height to their official status.
Matt Bowen was once listed as 175cm and Kodi Nikorima as 174, which are both pretty generous IMO.

Speaking of short fullbacks, Matty Bowen was a fucking gun.

Yeh a kick or a surge by TPJ that both misses out our centre was the only way isaako was scoring over on that wing.

This is what it was. From 0.27 in this video is what it looked like the coach was doing in the dressing room pre-game.

Wighton isnt 6'2

Wighton isn't 6'2.....He shorter than me maybe 5'10/ 5'11

 

[Super Freak]

Corey Oates has escaped suspension.

Reimis Smith is only getting a week for his tackle on Glenn.

It was ridiculous that Oates was put on report for that shit at all. Just goes to show you they will look for any excuse.

 

[KnToad]

How many points did Boyd score?

Yep. I don’t get the widespread hate for Isaako.
You can say his tries didn’t require much work but he put himself in the right place at the right time to score them as well as not letting any points in down his wing.
He tries his ass off every week and is hardly the only player to have a couple of mistakes in the last few weeks.
Show me another player in the team that has had a blinder with no errors in our team in the last month and a half.
Every other player in the team has either been dropped or suspended so far this season except for Boyd and Milford.
Why are they protected species?

There was nothing easy about his try off of Milf’s kick. He timed his run beautifully, showed good speed, wanted it more than the defenders, and made the most of a difficult put down. Not sure what more a winger can do unless they’re Sivo or Radradra.

his other try was easy as for him but he still stayed aware when some others would’ve dozed off, and put on a mean step to beat his man.

it’s tough because his handling was so shit and put us under a lot of pressure but you don’t want to punish him after those efforts and his long rage penalty goals and 65m dropout. Hard being a coach sometimes.
