I mean it was definitely ball control. 50% in the first half & 80% in the second.
You don't think our attack is still horrible??? The Broncos were out on their feet the last 20 mins and we had all the ball and field posistion and fell over the line with 1 mins to go. Our edge defende is still aids, scared to think how many the Storm will run up on us.

Broncos ripped on the Gutho try and the no try/no drop out ruling. Oh well.

All that heart, ending in a tight loss... can't see 'em getting up for the next few weeks.

Well deserved for Paulo. But the Eels may want to temper their celebrations a little. Not a whole lot to be proud of in this game.

I don’t understand the hate for Kevvie, sure he’s an average commentator but other than that, he’s not a merkin like Hasler or Bellamy.

During the Broncos glory years of the 90’s he was the one player I just couldn’t find a reason to hate.

Even coaching Qld... I couldn’t hate him. It was “adorable” when he didn’t want to say NSW..

I’ve never hated Kevvy and don’t think I’ve got it in me to ever hate him.

I don't think our attack is horrible, no.

I think it's headless at times, which leads us to drop ball and play like frantic 8 year olds. I think when we play direct and patient, and allow ourselves to get the ascendancy, our attack is very good.

I think we look very bad as whole when we try and force it like we did first half and make a gazillion dumb errors.

I'm not sure what to take away from that game. I guess the Broncos will be better under Kevie than Seibold as they can't really get worse and the Eels should maybe go behind more often as it forces them to adlib more and they looked decent.

Yes we we run hard and play direct we go fine and we will win games. But the block play side to side shit needs to be nuked. The Donkey's losing 3 players and Farneworth dropping the ball on that intercept of yet another block play disaster was just as responsible for the win as anything we did.

Even those plays are fine, the issue is we go to them without forward momentum. You go there off a power set and you score pretty often with our backs. You go there habitually after a slow set and fifteen errors and it looks dross.

How often do we score of them??? Barely ever most of our best play is off quick play the balls or second faze play. Melbourne are going to pack rape us next week if we offer up that shit.

You can't help but find fault with the coach. Agree to disagree.

Why don't we discuss the Warriors swapping Papali'i for Kane Evans instead?

I think we have won out there Baz, Papa has donemore in one game than back up depth Kane did in 3 years.

I don’t know about hate. But the wankfest from fox over his coaching ability was absurd. IMO He’s shown nothing that suggests that he’s an NRL quality coach.
