Incredibly frustrating game to watch in every facet. Everything from Atkins deciding the result to watching the clunkiness of the Broncos in attack.

Reynolds practically begging for a penalty and not getting it was the story of the night. Nothing was ever going to go right, and then the refs decide the result because the sight of blood scares the f**k out of them. This comp is doomed if calls like that become the norm. Taupau could do literally nothing about the situation he was put into and I don't blame him at all.


Our front row pulled a Canberra on Canberra, as in most of them took the night off, especially Carrigan. Probably close to his worst game as a Bronco. Same with Herbie who also had a shit night and Mam who was once again quiet as a mouse. Ahwell, it's a test of our resolve from here. This is exactly the sort of result that led to our collapse last season. Will they crack the sads about it? Or actually address their issues?

There was already a penalty this season for accidental knees. It great to see the officials staying consistent for once...

I thought the penalty was fair. It was obviously an accident but it was careless and reckless.

What I thought was bad taste was the the stadium playing "hey baby ooh aaah" while Rapana was being medicabbed off.

So anytime a player accidentally gets clocked in the head, it should be a penalty?

I wonder what Tom Flegler is thinking right now

Broncos are a good team and will be back. They were a little flat this week. It's impossible to be running at full intensity every week.
That's not true. You see in the past teams that know how to build pressure with a game plan and go on huge runs. This broncos team doesn't have it in them at this stage.

Reynolds is the only one who can kick and when hes off it's a lottery. Fogerty outplayed him tonight.

Hard to watch a game full of WTF penalties, Doctors interfering in the sport, accidents getting penalties, players lying down so the bunker can review a tackle. It's hard to take seriously anymore to be honest. I still think that Rapana knee to the head deserved a penalty though.

Vonnie "raiders have done the impossible"

Does she really think the broncos are some juggernaught this year?
Especially when the Bonkos must be thinking the hiding they would have got if it had not been raining in the first round V the Panthers.
