World Club Series - Wigan vs Brisbane

[Big Pete]

It's a training drill for the Broncos.

They're almost too skillful for their own good, throwing the ball around without a care in the world. Fortunately it seems like whenever they go too far, they go back to their plan of kicking to corners and building their sets on their defence.

What I like most about this performance is that Wigan have challenged the Broncos to play ugly and they haven't had a bar of it.

Life without Hodges, no Hunt - they're playing well.

The Footy Show back for a 23rd year. Has is that even still a thing?

Have we only used two interchanges so far? I'm yet to see offa and wadell. First proper match of the year and nobody seemed to drop off in intensity, we should handle the interchange reduction with ease

LOL to the people that second guessed the half pairing of Nikorima and Milford.

 

[Taylor1921]

And I really don't understand why people dislike Jarrod Wallace, he was good last year and he'll be better this year.

 

[Taylor1921]

And McCullough is getting the forwards going forward perfectly. Looking sharp coming out of dummy half

 

[I bleed Maroon]

LOL to the people that second guessed the half pairing of Nikorima and Milford.

It's an awesome situation for us, because Nikorima is writing his name on a halves spot if and when Hunt and Milf play Origin

Tunza without a beard in one of those flashbacks. So strange now.

I don't get how the governing bodies can spend so much time on changing rules to facilitate player welfare and just let that in goal area slide. Seriously, just shorten the goalpost to goalpost distance if you have to but that situation is not safe. How many tries were scored last year by players batting the ball back when they were further past the dead ball line than where the fence is now?

Also, Oates should have been a penalty try. He didn't get the ball down in time but the only contact on him was leg-on-leg.

Pfft that wasn't forward!

 

[Rally Towel]

Pfft that wasn't forward!

I can live with it being called back, save for the latitude the Roosters were afforded yesterday.

 

[Rally Towel]

Wallace special there...

 

[Rabbir]

Can someone tell Wallace that he's not a guaranteed member of this side please.

 

[Unbreakable]

Wallace giving away a lazy penalty, surely my eyes deceive me.

 

[Sproj]

Great tackle Eden.

 

[Taylor1921]

I must say Greg Eden is showing the goods. He's starting winger round 1 for me! Anderson hasn't shown no where near enough as Eden

 

[Sproj]

I can live with it being called back, save for the latitude the Roosters were afforded yesterday.

...and every game they play. ;)

 

[Brett]

Our edge defence looks great.
