broncos game discussion

[Black Forest Dragon]

...it's half time - i've just switched on. At least the score is close ! : )

 

[Black Forest Dragon]

Adam Quinlan Looks very busy. This is great !!!

Is Drinkwater in the side?

 

[Black Forest Dragon]

....sorry guys, just realised that being sunday game the telecast in OZ is probably delayed by an hour, so you are just switching on as I type. Sorry.

I'll stop.

Heaps or repeat sets, refs giving us leg up, but we still can't score...panic passes and offloads making 1 meter in gain. Nothing has changed...

Dragons footy...

Good on ya young fella! Quinlan, playing well beyond his years

The 9 commentary is terrible. Between the Bronco loving and the advertising, theres not an actual lot of commentary that goes on.

 

[saint.nick]

WTF is going on with our goal line defence!!???? It's so bloody soft!!!!!!!!

 

[saint.nick]

terrible goal line defence again. And our defensive deterioration is just proof that Price doesn't need an extra year with better players. Defence is all about attitude and discipline. You don't need a team of superstars to have great defence. The idiot has ruined our attack and ruined our defence, and I'm sick of hearing people like Dell in the media trying to defend him. Why the hell does the media support him? All you hear is the same crap going along the lines of " Pricey is just unlucky. He's a great young coached who's taken over an ageing roster and hasn't had the players to work with". I want to pull the radio out of my dash and throw it out the window every time I hear that crap, especially on MMM yesterday when Dell was trying to relate Price with Potter when they were talking about the tigers, which is all they have talked about for 2 days.

Dell, as much as I love the guy is way over the top with his rose colored glasses, everything is roses for him, "cancer, on your death bed, no probs, call Dell, tomorrow is another day!!!!"

Generally a good game to watch, and a good effort from the boys. Just lack the class in the halves (Quinlan was good again) and a proper game plan, laid out by an actual coach to capitalize on the quality field position we seem to get an abundance of.

 

[64 Dragon]

Top of the class in forced dropouts shows we get down there but don't score. Enough said.

 

[Back O'Bourke Scorcher]

Was that not a shoulder charge on the saints kicker for the last try? (think it was Drinkwater)

 

[Slippery Morris]

Aging roster? Morris, Creagh, Nighty, Weyman, Prior, Hunt, etc were all in their 20's last I checked. Apart from Fein and Cooper nobody else over 30? And Coops hasn't even played much. I suppose you can be excused for making that mistake as they are playing like they are over 40.

I am so damn sick of hearing all these Price excuses. Shows a lack of respect to the playing roster we have. Sad.....

 

[TruSaint]

Was it Feins fault today ?
I dont believe so.
Im sorry but Green is not NRL standard, got shown up all day.

 

[hardbaby]

I thought we were great. Very unlucky to lose but good players do make their own luck. Thoroughly enjoyed the game. The guys really dug in.

He makes some shocking reads in defence

 

[FlameThrower]

Green was a supposedly a specialist centre? What a snake oil salesman...I'm looking forward the Dragons propaganda in the year in review...across the board we have been terrible.

I agree hard - I think we played pretty well today. Some creativity in attack and we were making some good ground up the middle and making some breaks outside.

Quinlan still has some work to do if he is going to be a permanant fixture in the halves, but it is definately looking promising. Drinkwater looked OK when he came on too - good to give him a little time on the field.

All up, although it was a loss, I think it was a step in the right direction.

Agreed, by far the worst of though is the Sundar Afternoon games, Gould and Rabs. Waffle on about crap...Wally Lewis and Lockyer are just average at best. Fitler and Johns speak like they have a mouthful of peanut butter most of the times...

Fox kill them hands down....
