2016 R14 - THU - Broncos 26-18 Raiders @ Suncorp

[Pete Cash]

This.

Canberra play in a very similar way to the Warriors. Big forward pack, like offloads and chancing their arm. Broncos hate playing against this kind of stuff.

Another danger game for Brisbane.

We arent huge offloaders and i think like 80 percent of them are from bj

 

[GongPanther]

Brisbane to at last turn a horror stretch around by 10.

If they don't,they'll have to sweat on the period after SOO to make some catch-up.

 

[gUt]

Canberra gets to play Brisbane thinking they'll finally get a Friday night but they don't lol lol

 

[Walt Flanigan]

All good, we got a Friday night game last week. A rare treat.

Paulo will fix that.

 

[Rhyno]

Broncos by 4

 

[Snappy]

Reed out with shoulder injury.

Eden in on the wing, Kahu to centre.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Surely Maranta deserves another shot...

 

[Big Salad]

I don't think I can handle watching another Broncos game where Maranta plays.

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Show some respect. That's a World All Star you're talking about there

That said, Raiders by 2 tries down Marantas side

Edit: Maranta out. Broncos by 30

 

[some11]

Reed and Maranta can sit out the rest of the season thanks Wayne.

 

[skeepe]

Raiders paying $3.95 for the win :crazy:

 

[Shorty]

Broncos by like 20 lol.
Issue of Reed fixed.

 

[Snappy]

That's a World All Star you're talking about there

Yes we know. You made sure to mention it numerous times in the game thread.

 

[Whino]

Broncs.

Hang on, Wighton is out for contact with Brett Suttor? When did this happen?

I was at that game and one thing I noticed about Suttor was how much time he actually spent on the field of play and how far in field he would run. At one point there was a scrum 10 in on his side of the field and the f**kwit was standing 3-4 into the field of play. A sudden short side play and he would have been scrambling to get out of the way. At other times he's just running around like a chook with it's head cut off, kinda in this zone where he was in no position to make onside calls or judge if there was a forward pass.

Edit: Just watched the footage of the incident. Wow, what a f**king joke.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Well it was no mere stomp to the nutsack, Wighton ever-so-gently brushed a ref. Not on.

 

[Kiwi]

Gezz this crap with touching the ref is a joke, they pick and choose who to charge for it, some players could skull f**k a ref and the match review committee wouldn't even consider charging them.

I hate it. It's just totally unnecessary for them to enter the field of play other than to talk to the ref. And it's laughable given they are too gutless to make a call on something that happens 1 metre in front of them most of the time.

One of the commentators (Johns maybe) made a good point a while back, that having a touch judge on the field has the effect of "shortening" the field, making it harder for a the attacking team to judge overlaps etc.

Suttor was demoted to touchie for his appalling communication with players.

f**kwit obviously still thinks he should be in the middle.
