2017 R17 Fri - Broncos 12-42 Storm @ Suncorp

Problem is, most of them don't help us in not conceding 40.

But they also are less likely to cough up the ball as much and gift prime attacking position all night.

I'd be worried about your team before commenting on Broncs, you'll be lucky if cowboys make another GF ever

Sure Jan, you've had this meltdown before.

Absolutely stoked that this hasn't been a cricket score.

With Milford, Boyd, Oates and McGuire in the side this is a totally different story.

Still not all that great though, was hoping for better after the 55 odd mins. We had a slight FA edge over the teams around us, so this hurts that quite a bit. Likewise though, this outcome was more or less expected and I doubt it'll refelct our season as a whole, but who knows. A highly passive and disjointed effort against the last team you want to be stuffing around against.

Don't worry about that, we've got the Knights after the bye

Broncs need to buy a halfback.

Haha, hope so. I'll be there, along with my excellent win% when in attendance in Newy. Hopefully that counts for something...

 

[STORM.99/07]

Satisfied with that win.

The only team that can stop the Storm this year is the Sharks.

I'm dead serious.

 

[moffla]

Storm are so boring to watch, aren't they...

Yep hopefully Hunt is back in the QLD Cup next week where he belongs.

Awesome performance from Melbourne, they were ruthless with the football and some of their tries (Vunivalu's second) was indefensible.

Brisbane were good whenever they wanted to play patient football, but they seemed obsessed with wanting to score off every play. I actually don't mind that sort of attitude, a side like the Broncos have to think about putting 30 on the Storm because they're never going to win the arm wrestle, but they didn't work themselves into it. The last pass from Hunt really summed it up, he was hell-bent on going for the all or nothing play, even when it was more likely to result in an intercept, it was silly.

On the plus side, despite getting 42 put on them, I still think some of the younger players stood up for Brisbane. Pearson made some promising touches and I thought Pangai Jr & Ofahengaue did a good job of winning the ruck at the start of the second half.

Still it was Melbourne's night and they really put the rest of the competition on notice with that performance. They're going to be very, very hard to beat in 2017.

According to you.

However to the non-brain dead people probably only Roosters or manly

I was at the game and was watching Thaiday closely, he did absolutely nothing but drop two balls from two touches, after last weeks effort of dropping the ball before being knocked out. This from a guy who was just dumped from rep football, you would expect that to motivate a player. He was like the lazy guy in the workplace that is always hovering around pretending to be doing something, he was just walking around watching everyone else. At one point he was so far behind the line he could have been playing fullback, and that's not an exaggeration. If Bennett is fair dinkum he has to drop Thaiday, don't even give him the bye. He just doesn't give a shit anymore.

 

[OVP]

Brisbane lost by 30 ?
