Horrible performance.

Critta was outstanding back there. Not too many others out there was good

But a win is a win

Too had 14 tackle breaks and 275 mtrs with Penrith only having 40% of the ball. Amazing. But he was bombed and looked shaky at times.
You can't be up for every game. You where flat but still won. Brisbane pack was at full strength. If they had a better spine they'd be top 4. They played very well.

Kikau has these games where he looks lazy. Unless he had a slight injury. He ran like a cat all night.

Critta was crappa in D in that first half. Hopeless even.

To'o deserves the biggest wrap. Unbelievable performance.

How so? They scored off a To'o being beaten off a kick and a gap between Yeo/May. how is it crappy D?

To'o's hands let him down

Amazing scheduling by NRL. Brisbane play Thursday before the Friday night game in Darwin vs Eels. While Eels head to Canberra on Saturday night.
Seriously its f**king embarrassing how they favour this side.

Crichton 234m. 6 tackle breaks. 2 Offloads. 1 Error in a role that many wanted him out of

Kikau often does that when targetted. He is still learning to be involved in those situations. TPJ was at him all night that is how you stop him

Isn't a good game?

Remembering he is filling in back there

He looked far better then previous few games. If he was to become a fullback he would deserve a full season to hone his skills. He has only had about 30 NRL games in total. Unsure what you'd expect.

Crichton stepped up when it mattered. Bit like last week he worked himself into the game. With the ball he was quality.

He was better than Burton.

The Broncos were very good. Comfortably the second best performance any team's put up against us. Their star forwards played to their potential and Lodge played probably the best I've seen him play. Their halves were extremely good, giving To'o a pasting that only a few combos in the game would have the discipline to pull off. They lacked a bit of class and composure at the death but were otherwise the better team over the 80.

We were well down on energy too. I'm really disappointed this media bullshit seems to have stung them. The handshake thing gave me a chuckle, but honestly I would have preferred to see them launching themselves into the stands, rubbing it in the faces of mongs like Crawley and Rothfield. The handshake showed that the chatter had gotten into their heads. We showed weakness to the media and they'll be galvanised to keep slinging bullshit at us all year. We need to ignore it, especially as the games get more and more important.

There were plenty of problems tonight. Our back 3 were pretty poor. To'o looks as much a target for a bombing as Mansour ever did. Kenny didn't handle a big guy running at him very well. Our middle got rolled for the first time in forever. The chase on our attacking kicks was ordinary.

On the plus side, Cleary was sub zero under pressure. Luai had some nice touches. Our middle was dominated at times but never cracked. Our goal line defence was strong as well. Still plenty to like, but cracks in the armour that the rest of the league will be eyeing off hungrily.

That is what I am trying to get from those bagging him. What to expect from a fill in
