Our kicking game was shit. Our defence in the middle is soft and the donkeys made us pay. I hope they learn from it. If we didn't have flo, moz and gaz the scoreline would have been far less respectable. Very disappointed.

Well done broncos. Far too good for us tonight.

About where I thought we were. Mid table (10-7th) using the broncs as a gauge, as I believe they have put in better performances than us over the first few rounds. GG Broncs, your bunny we remain.

As I said in pre season best case scenario 6-7th worst case 12th

Why do the highlights always seem to be in half framerate. It's like they do them on a phone or something.

We're very much a work in progress. Some horridly soft defence. Some scintillating attack, and some vey poor decisions at crucial moments. Not time for panic stations by any means.

On Sam Williams, I'd persist with him. I'm sure he'll come good if we show a bit of faith in him.

Agreed. I hope Price resists the urge to play Witt ahead of him, considering there is no future in that option imo. Williams has the ability. Just needs to relax and build some confidence in himself and the players around him.

I mean the highlights channel 9 uses at the end of the game.
:lol: Yeah true sorry. the slow mo on the camera's are atrocious. Not sure why they can't use the technology available to the cricket in regards to replay's and slowing the frames down?

Those early tries were crucial for Brisbane.

Dragons live and die by the sword, and tonight it was the latter.

Still, they gave their fans plenty to cheer about and they're scoring some beautiful tries. Their signings have made a nice difference and they've adapted to the fast game quite well.

Happy with the Broncos performance although still plenty to work on. Forwards are playing some unreal footy at the moment, very happy with their performances thus far.

Good game. Both teams showed plenty in attack. Huge difference in both teams since last year. Defence needs to be worked on by both. Dragons will win more than they lose. The speed of the game really suits them.

Off the cuff short kicks just ridiculous Williams chip kicking after scoring a try the dumbest thing I have seen for a long time even Widdop was guilty of it to.

Soft defence no line speed bad reads in the defensive line sure some nice tries but getting beaten at home by 16 not good enough.

Was a good game, I don't know what people want TBH. Both teams showed great signs in attack, yes there were some bad defensive reads, but gezz both sides played some great ad lib footy in attack. Considering both sides attack last year, both sets of fans have to be happy with where the attack of each club is at right now with still stars to come back for both and plenty of room to improve.

I think when Dugan comes back Quinlan to the bench to come on as a utility/hooker could be the go, he's quick, looks to have a good pass and seems to read the game quite well which could see him do really well around the ruck when the forwards start getting tired. Dragons lost to much when Rein was off. I like the no name ( for now ) forwards the Dragons have, good solid pack, I think they need that one big strong hard to stop front rower to take some of the pressure of guys like Merrin who is a machine.

As for my club, a good win, the attack is really starting to improve, we can finish off long range efforts and create plenty in the 20, the attack will only get better as the year goes on. I think Kennedy needs to start throwing his weight around, his runs seem soft for a bloke his size, when he has put a little effort in he bends the line, with more effort and consistency he'll really help us get that roll on. Hoffman did a little more than just run, which is good, hopefully as his confidence builds in the 6 we can see more variety in attack from him. People need to lay off Vidot, he has been great for us so far, gets us moving forward early, works well bringing it back with Barba and Maranta, and comes in and helps our forwards out when we are working it out of our on half. One mistakes doesn't undo all that work.
