2017 R5 Thu - Bulldogs 10-7 Broncos @ ANZ

[wibble]

Supercoach should have them up to date with the rules, remember Roberts did it as well.

That's what made Kahu's effort super special. Doing it right after Roberts.

I want my money back the dogs came to play

Best game of the year so far.

Why is Roberts getting the blame for the dropout that went out? He purposely didn't play at the ball because it hadn't gone 10m. Just got a really bad bounce

Milford and Hunt made to look like a bunch of geniuss by Josh f**king Reynolds and some rookie.

Broncos attack is now the worst in the comp.

Their centre Moga is so ildisciplined. Gave 2 penalties away tonight.

The other week against Storm gave 3 penalties away.

Look at their forwards stats. They're brilliant!!!!

They barely used their bench either!!!!

For Brisbane it seems McGuire is making lots of metres but the others aren't helping enough!!!!

No coincidence that Reynolds has his best game of the year (and probably last year too) when we pair him with an organising half. The team is unsettled with Mbye partnering him because we lack direction. I want to see how Mbye goes at either hooker or fullback and keep Frawley in the side

Hunt and Milf were ok in the first half but nothing stuck in the second, Milf disappeared as usual.
Hunt has tried his butt off and will be an asset at Saints, imo Broncos have kept the wrong half.

Not that anyone would sign Hunt over Milford...but the guy is not happy.

Where's IBM gone?

Beaten by a team that was suited perfectly by the conditions, I don't think it's too far fetched to suggest that we'd prefer a dry track so we can throw it around use the likes of Milford and co to get around a big pack such as the Bulldogs but to their credit, they played the conditions perfectly

I have them in the same category as the Dragons, struggle to score against quality sides but on a wet pitch, they're capable of beating anyone

As a Knights supporter it is nice to watch a geniusathon between 2 teams that are not us.....

Broncs got dis...

As a Broncos fan, I was happy with their efforts right up until the Kahu penalty. To effectively get penalised for a Bulldogs mistake, concede another set of six and lose it from there was incredibly bitter.

Credit to the Bulldogs though, once they got a sniff they did a fantastic job of shutting down the contest and played to the conditions wonderfully. Brisbane were forced to start every set deep inside their own half and they just couldn't conjure up anything. It's the Bulldogs side I remember from last year that turned the tables on Melbourne in Belmore and last night could very well be a turning point in 2017. Klemmer was an absolute freak and Reynolds' tenacity proved a deciding factor in the contest. His penchant for tripping players annoys me, but Josh's competitiveness is difficult to ignore.

On the other hand, Brisbane have a huge week ahead of them with Sydney at Suncorp. Based on what we've seen so far, you'd have to say Sydney should just be too good, but if Brisbane are able to produce their best and cut out the brain fades they could kick-start their season.

What the hell is wrong in Brisbane get a 7 point lead and proceed to try and play negative footy for a full half of football, they need a captain/half you stands up in these situations, you would think between Milford, hunt and Boyd they could muster something....anything

 

[BM1979]

It was nice to have a halfback who could do the simple things and guide a side around the park.

Hunt produced a chip kick that if he regathered would have pretty much iced the game for them.

Other then that though the Broncos were pinned down in their half for almost 30mins. Hard to blame halves in that situation.

Wayne Bennett coached some negative as shit st george sides, he seems to have carried that on at brisbane, odd because he was a more attacking coach in brisbane and canberra.

A pity, because imo, the broncos strength is the likes of milf/ hunt / roberts should be able to put points and move the ball freely on especially with a relatively quick mobile pack, unlike say the dogs, who are going to have to over power and defend well to win.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Anyone hear Josh Reynolds' post game interview on Triple M? They played a snippet of it this morning and when he was asked about Des Hasler's coaching future, Reynolds said "...yeah, Des cops a lot of slack..."

Pure comedy gold that one

True, but it's a dead set shit go.

Did you not see the accidental knee to the head? Kasiano doesn't stay down unless he's hurt. He's an old-school player. He came right off after that for HIA.
