Broncos pack were weak as piss which was great as they may have played Grant and McKendry into form. They smashed them, must have easily averaged over 10m per carry and were breaking tackles for fun.
Some good kicks and some crap kicks from Walsh but I find it hard to criticize when he's carrying 90% of the kicking duties and when John and Coote chime in they're shit. Coote has the biggest boot at the club and if we're going to play him it's geniused not to take advantage of it and give him some of the long kicks, he's even a left footer.
John needs to get the ball after we make a break (I'd say Segs too but Segs is involved in almost all of our breaks), Walsh and Coote just squander opportunities with great consistency.
The Broncos lacked the heart to put their body in front of Manu at the end there, it was fantastic. Manu is fast and he should be running straight and outside lines as well as the inside line, as it is he's being used almost exclusively on an outside in line, need some variation. f**k knows what he was doing in defence on their first try, he went full genius there.
Brown terrorised Prince but the sooner he's out of the centres the better the team will be for it. Get him in the back row where he belongs and we can piss a nuffy off out of the team and the starting line up. May as well play Roberts at centre, not like he's any more likely to run out, throw it out, get left behind on a break, get run around by Tate or run over by Hurrell than Brown anyway. Even if he is there's a chance he'll make it back up through his ability and the experience will be worth something in the future.
Broncos targeted our right side, kicking and in attack, they were mostly up for it, 2 tries but the first was purely Manu's fault, just lacked the numbers again on the second and indecision cost us. Won't know if there's been any real improvement until we're up against a real team.
Good that Segs got up, he has been down on form recently, he'll miss Masoe the most next year.
I'm happy enough for Smith to be in the 17 the rest of the way.
