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

[Red Bear]

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.

He ran a bit too sideways. Got straighten the play up better than what happened.

Tough when you're the only decent kicking option, brisbane just had to go for him and it would influence whether there was a good end to the set or not. Having said that I thought Cleary got caught before the last tackle a few times which was poor game management.

He's got a very big future ahead of him and matches like last probably help identify what needs to be worked on long term. I guess regardles fo whether its Moylan or May he'll have better support next season, Moylan would be better though.

What do I get for getting closest to the result?

Nothing because you didn't mate.
Oz dragon mailed it.

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.

When all is said and done, the better side on the night won. Fair credit to the Broncos, their defence was outstanding.

I sincerely hope they beat the Storm scum next week, but alas I fear...

40 dollars for 4 beers and a tray.

If the beer is XXXX Mould, do you get $39 back as a deposit on the tray?

Gotta agree with that. XXXX gold is bluddy terrible

Congrats to the Broncos.They were the better side with their great defense.So good luck for next week,although don't know how they will cope after such a brutal match and with their injury toll,it might be a big ask especially when the Storm have that all important two week break.

At times,our big match inexperience and impatience with some poor handling let us down.

Glad too end these wankers season.

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

Yeah they earned their spot with good attitude in defence. We also suck as Girdler has said, sort of.

I know this was 60+ hours ago but why didn't Milford go off for HIA seeing as his head clashes with Oates?

I thought it was Milford's shoulder on Oates head.

But on the other end of the scale..
Penalties received:
Storm: 172
Broncos: 137

So basically the difference is 1 penalty. Still stupid to say Melbourne will win because of penalties

But but but but penalty Broncos!

Shhhhh, you're ruining the narrative

Screw Girds.What I saw,was that on the field,we weren't good enough to get over the line.We were cutdown in last moments by great defence.In fact,if anything to our favour,I think Penrith did not get enough credit for that effort in losing by only 7.

RCG could have gone over earlier,Katoa late in the game.Meh,just wasn't mean't to be.
