2017 Semi Final, Fri - Broncos 13-6 Panthers @ Suncorp

[Danoz Direct]

Who will the ref give the penalties next week,, Smellbourne or Dorkies. Both will be
offside all day. Decisions decisions

The Broncos got more penalties against them than the Panthers did.

Melbourne will win it off penalties. No chance the NRL don't gift them another premiership, especially now that the AFL have been cleaning their clocks with crowd attendance.

yeah if Storm win it it will be because they were gifted it, nothing to do with them being a very good Rugby team.

 

[moffla]

Melbourne have 3 of the greatest players to ever play in their spine and quality in key positions elsewhere and they still need to drag the game down into the mud to win a title and the NRL lets them do it. The 2017 premiership is all theirs and you won't see a shred of optimism from me come the off season. The NRL is in a bad place.

You're a f**king flog

 

[Canard]

I'm criticising the quality of the teams outside of the top 4, including my own team

It is an issue when we're constantly told how close the comp is by the NRL.

Every game has been a close fought contest and the 8th placed team beat the 5th placed one last week.

Seems very close comp to me.

The NRL have allowed Melbourne to turn this competition into a glorified WWE. We see it with every Melbourne game and we saw it tonight. We will very likely see it tomorrow as well. This comp's whole purpose is to make the NRL's life easier in Victoria and has been since 2006.

I know right. I wish they'd give the little guys like the Broncos a chance to thrive in this competition.

 

[sensesmaybenumbed]

We did.
It's the comp your team plays in now.

I don't see a big stupid s on any jumpers...

lol@butthurt Manly fans death-riding Penrith.

Lol at softcock dragons fans deathriding the Broncos

Ah yes the age old hes better than you at football comment. Shut down the forums lads.

You're the one giving him shit. You're the one who brought up his age.

Therefore your sarcasm is understable when your argument is used against you.

Lol at softcock dragons fans deathriding the Broncos

Ridiculous.

Fans fluctuate.

Go back and see how many dragons supported and defended the drongos in the 2006 grand final even though we defeated you in the semi.

 

[THE CHAMP]

An in form Moylan and we could have snared it, but he was on personal leave ffs and we had to try to open up an on song defence with a 19 y.o. half and a hacks like Cartwright and Wallace.

So because the team is poorly coached by Griffin and can't beat the top teams I can accept them going out, however if the Broncos win the comp this year, I might give the game away.... When they won in 2006 I almost did...

If I was to Hazzard a guess I'd say batting off in the bathroom while watching RedTube.

I doubt it was redtube.

Men's health & fitness.

That's the one.

 

[THE CHAMP]

The better team won. That's for sure. Hope Oates is okay. That play he was injured was the worst bit of footy ive seen this year. With boyd and tpj back next week and a fit Oates our attack improves a shitload. Defence is great. We are a great chance next week.

Do you ever stop crying, whinging and making excuses about Melbourne.

If Broncos play better Friday night they will beat them. That's it.

You're the one giving him shit. You're the one who brought up his age.

Age is irrelevant because at any age all these players are better than you or I. That's why they're professionals and we're posting on a forum.

I was making light of the label thrust upon him. He had a poor game and didn't offer much to his team unless you think repeating the same tactics that weren't working en masse was a good thing?

Good call on the men's health mag, did you spend all night thinking of that one? What next?

 

[TheVelourFog]

Every time IBM posts i'm reminded that his knowledge of Rugby League is limited to what he can piece together from the discarded newspapers that line his cage

What do you care about how Melb win it? Broncos often get thumped by Melb regardless of officiating.

 

[Maroon4life]

Glad too end these wankers season.

Lot of grit shown from my team, proud of them.

so age is irrelevant but you made light of it. Sweet.

I saw his effort as solid. So we disagree. He was not the reason they lost. Brisbane's awesome defence was. They would have puta lot of points on a lot of teams last night.

Yep. All night. Trying to match wits with you is a challenge.

 

[typicalfan]

Cleary was ok. Gotta remember May went off injured and Wallace got a ball to the head early in the game. In those situations he didn't have a lot of support from that point. Add to it that Moylan is MIA and Cartwright played fairly poorly when he replaced May, I think Cleary can be excused for having a tough night.

 

[isaiah]

Brisbane by 8

What do I get for getting closest to the result?
