Easy money tonight probs. This is exactly the sort of game where Bennett would tell Roberts to cut loose

By cut loose did you mean 'rush up out of the line to allow Simona to stroll over for a try and then get beaten on the outside for him to set up the match winner' ?

Hard to get a read on a one off game where the Broncos were missing so many players, but it did make me wonder how much of their organising comes from Boyd at the back. Broncos at times looked uncharacteristically unorganised and that last field goal attempt came after they tried to go wide for some reason. Put Hunt in an awful position for the kick.

Origin depleted losses should be of no concern as they do no reflect the overall team and would be meaningless in the long run providing the origin-effected teams win post-origin. Good win by the Tigers to win away.

Wins like this affect the table at seasons end.It might be the difference between coming 4th or 5th.

Well done Tigers. It's a game we should have won, but to the Tigers credit they came out, played well and gave it everything. Broncos on the other hand did not show their opponents the respect they deserved and played very poorly.

Very good win for the Tigers and a game we did not deserve to be so close to victory in the end.

This is true, SOO can have a very detrimental affect on a team's chances of qualifying for / position in the finals....however it's better to have rep level players, than not, so it's something worth putting up with.

They didn't really lose cause of players out though, seemed like there was no real leader out there and that's a worry when your halves need to step up.

McCullough is apparently injured and I'd say that's where half the issues were, he's the organiser because both Milford and Hunt are runners and not organisers.
They definitely missed Parker's leadership, I think Corey almost won the game against the Sharks because he was so furious.
