POST GAME Round 9 - Broncos vs Panthers

[cakeGG]

Zzzzzzz I see that WWOS are having a big sook about the no try at the start of the game. Yup totally cost Penriff the game. No mention of the Moylan "try" or the leg ups they got from the refs.

I reckon Dean Whare will get a couple of weeks off for the trip on Moga ( 25 th minute off the scrum )

Was trying to catch it on the replay on fox but they cut out that set. Went from the held up eseese set to penrith dropping out.

Ha ha ha...NRL site has Oates down for zero tackles ! They got 54 for McCullough though

That sounds weird but I am actually trying to think of a tackle he actually did make.

He covered for Moga a few times

Also on the penalties, 2 of them were in the one play, with a 10m march for back chat. So Penrith actually only got penalised in play twice in 80 minutes.

'Tis true but I just hated seeing the way we tried to tackle. The arm grabbing was ridiculous. In 2015 our defence stung. Guys were driving in hard with shoulders.

Did you watch the whole game?? We hit hard and believe me.. We would have stung badly.

Very sus, they laid over us in the ruck 10x what we did.

Sutton was as bad as Cecchin usually is.

Still, we dominated those premiership contenders and nullified the Griffin v Bennett curse.

It's hard to be disappointed with the result.

All things seem to indicate a long term injury to Roberts
Oh poo

 

[Horseheadsup]

That's not really fair, why does McCullough get to choose MotM?

Lolz

Because he's King of the ankle tap.

And that would be wrong then wouldn't it.
I just want consistency and if they rule the way they did tonight for the rest of the year I'd be happy.

Bunker l have no problem with, not perfect and it never will be. 3-7 penalty count just to get the other team into the game l do have a problem with. I followed soccer a lot in my early days and one infuriating beauty of it was no video refs, bunker is no different, it is not and never will be perfect.

Yes l agree with other posters players should not let the penalty count affect the game plan. That is correct but they are human, well paid professional sportsman type of human so maybe they can learn to deal with it better.

Just sick and tierd of the perceived advantages Broncos get without looking at the factual outcomes. Not our fault business want to support the club, not our fault players want to come here and play...should we just say no because we feel sorry for the Sharks or whatever team?

What indicates a long term injury exactly?
No expert here, an honest question.

If I knew how to cut that bit out and post it I would! I recorded the live game on my IQ but I have no idea how to get it off the screen, I do have a smart arse tv...is there some way to capture it ?... mmm, that's got me thinking actually, I've got a video capture device......

Nah!!! It's just an ankle sprain, he won't miss more than a month.

Yes, I was wondering that myself. I think WB said it was a ankle problem and they would get xrays tomorrow

 

[K-Style]

He covered for Moga a few times

Oates? Yes. He laid out their centre who was in the process of passing the ball to the sideline. Moga had run way out of the line to make a tackle that didn't matter.

 

[M.B.88]

Penrith press conference.. They're deadset delusional. Any wonder they can't win games.....

Apparently, according to their coach, their defence was good. Their captain said he was real happy with their attack?! Their first half was extremely bad. They're defence is a terrible ideology where if you just hold the player and not tackle him to ground you'll prevent the offload. But then never win a single ruck or we offload anyway! I remember when we used to play the same style and we'd let teams roll right through us. Even bennett came back he taught them to hit hard and stick. Remember how bad Gillett was a defender?? Now he's arguably the best in the league. Griffin is tanking those kids. Poor coaching.

He didn't.

Not a complete one.
