Roosters fans whinging about penalties, imagine my surprise
Yeah not really a good time to bring it up. But just quietly we have received a total of 10 2nd half tries in 6 games. In one game we got 4. So in the other 5 games 6! Not the reason we lost this week or last but geez the incredible anomaly just keeps going.

About as much as everyone on here likes you

I like how you didn't have the stones to reply to that until after the game too. Cheeky.

Oh, nobody likes me.. guess I better take my ball and walk on home..

I was bringing up the fact that after the game Roosters fans would be whinging about the penalty count (which by the way, is exactly what happened), your only retort was "How did you like that try" or something along those lines, when your team scored their 2nd and last try.. it's not just because of playing Brisbane in Brisbane either, it happens almost every time, sometimes even when you blokes win a game.

It's not some sort of conspiracy against the Roosters, your team is notorious for being terribly disciplined when it comes to giving away penalties, it's an issue with the way your team is coached yet you try to paint it out to be some sort of a conspiracy against your club, even when you won the comp you would give away penalty after penalty, especially when defending your own goal line, I am convinced it was a tactic to allow your players to get a brief moment to reset on the line

I literally said "yeah probably" and then did it. You're a touch thick. Don't get mad at me because nobody likes you. You asked me a question and I answered it honestly.

I thought Broncos played a ridiculous expansive game of footy and we were unprepared.
2017 is shaping up to be the year where daring attack makes a comeback.
Bennett is the last coach I expected to run with this kind of gameplan.

I don't feel too bad. We eventually collapsed, but for 60 minutes i thought it was game of the year stuff, despite a lot of mistakes. Broncos throwing everything at us and we were clinging on for dear life until Gordon and SKD bottled a try. All downhill from there and the game fizzled out to an easy win for the Broncs.

Final score reflects the dominance Broncos displayed but doesnt really reflect how the game played out, if that makes sense.

As for Roosters, not really understanding the negativity. It was a poor showing but we certainly aren't in meltdown territory yet. I've seen enough to think we'll bounce back positively.

Side note, Latrell getting hooked but SKD staying on was one of the more interesting coach plays we'll see this year. Maybe it's because Latrell will learn from it but SKD is too stupid to learn anything at this stage? Who the f**k knows. Your move Robbo.

Moga defending like a peanut and Hunt going off and the Roosters still couldn't get it together.

The ankle tap on Gordon won the game for the Broncos.

Even with the expansive game the Roosters defence, in the middle, on the edges and out wide was second rate.

I understand JWH is a long way from his best due to the knee injury but I've only seen 1 game where he looked as though he was committed to carrying the ball forward like he should. He got smacked one of his first hit ups tonight and then........ that was it. Even Cordner was off.

Fortunately you've got the Knights next week, no such thing as a free win in this comp (other than the bye) but that's as close as it gets

I thought tonight's game was the perfect illustration of one team showing (albeit very rusty) while another didn't look switched on. That isn't taking anything away from the Broncos, but the Roosters attitude was poor and made life easy for the hosts. When you concede tries like the McCullough try from dummy half, the Thaiday try or even Sims at a crucial moment it speaks volumes.

For Brisbane, this win was long due. While they were deserved losers against the Cowboys, Storm & Bulldogs, they've been better than a lot of other 2-3 sides this year and there seemed to be this sense heading into the game they'd lift for this. While it wasn't pretty, what we saw tonight was the difference Milford has on the side when he's on and this was easily his best performance since the Elimination Final against the Gold Coast Titans.

I thought McCullough was a deserved MotM pick. I don't think he'll ever be among the elite dummy halves in the competition, but whenever he asserts himself Brisbane look like a much better outfit and he allows the players around him to shine. Once again, I thought the forwards were strong tonight for Brisbane and the likes of Pangai Jr and Ese'ese are starting to make names for themselves as NRL players.

As bad as Sydney's attitude was tonight, they can take some solace that at 20-8, if Gordon had have done anything but what he did, it's 20-14 (three tries a piece) and they've got the Broncos feeling nervous. After finishing 15th last season, they're a work in progress and they were due for a reality check after a flattering start to the season. I still like they're style of play and think they'll be there abouts but they were very lazy tonight.

You received 10 2nd half tries? Huh?

after the first solid set off the kickoff from the roosters I made a joke prediction that as soon as it goes to SKD for the first time he'll do something stupid that leads to an error and it will lead to a Brisbane try that following set. Fell asleep soon after it actually happened so I can't really comment on anything else
