Broncos R19 in Brisbane.

[RedVDave]

We really need some forwards in the off season though.

100% this it's part of why we are so inconsistent imo Hele made a big difference but he was rusty and it showed not to mention he's only played what 5 games? Very injury prone

 

[Saints Forever]

It's puzzling that we ran out of gas but it was the Broncs who made 60 tackles more than us in the first half plus the penalties, 6 agains and sin bins against them and yet they have the energy to lift in the second half. It's not the first time it's happened to us either.
Still, happy with an away win in Qld, that's huge and we did it with our "stars" out.
A lot of our forwards were making 10mtrs or more per run and putting their hand up for lots of work, good stuff.
One other thing - we must bomb more tries than any other team, why can't we ice those, it's like 2 or 3 every game.

It’s psychological

As the opposition starts to challenge us we become tentative, instead of rising to the challenge

We were clock watching from the time we scored first in the second half

 

[Illusion]

Sloan was f**king disgraceful. Participated in allowing 4 Broncos tries. He seems to be a lovely bloke but please learn how to tackle.

Right on Pete , yep nice guy but no mongrel ...... Needs to really harden up or he won't make it ...... Or he needs to be playing in a top 4 team so he doesn't have to do much defending .......

 

[hewi]

Maybe just maybe Ramsay will make a comeback. The players whom we definitely don’t need are Hunt and Bird. They looked like a football team with Marschke at 1/2.

∆ This

Nothing new about that maestro 1 , that is the usual fare from those wankers . Only the big name teams will receive rave reviews - win or lose , as only they matter , not the lesser lights of the competition .

To the game itself , well done lads , you may have been playing a team short of their rep players , however you thoroughly deserve the win by playing entertaining football .

Walter’s couldn’t bring himself to say we played well in the first half. It was all about the errors they made blah, blah, blah. No wonder he’s best mates with that fickhead smurf. 2 peas in a pod!!

 

[shazam]

Unfortunately Ramsey was the player we should have at fullback, all heart but he won’t play again

Kicking game
Kick Chase
Compact relentless defence line
Field position
It's the basics

Nice work boys. Thanks for making me smile.

Regardless of what happens, this is the most promising season in years.

Imagine if we had a top end half

 

[TheRev]

It's Sloans attack that I have a problem with.. he doesnt break tackles.. thats the point of having an attacking fullback.. otherwise we can just run a defensive tank like a Matt Feagai or a Lomax.

I was impressed with him in the 1st half, if he had spilt a few of those bombs we might not have had a 1st half lead.. im not sure how the broncos kept getting chasers so close to the bomb despite us winning the forward battle.

 

[<StGeorgeDragons>]

Fox commentators were so focused upon the Broncos. Painful to listen to. And even at the end it was more about the broncos than how amazing for the Dragons, whom many picked for the wooden spoon

100%

Will Chambers on the panel... nice touch. Bit painful.

 

[Lovemedragons]

Marschke was sharper than Hunt, doesnt mean he is the answer but really does show up the reality we pay way overs and we pay the price heavily for having Hunt as our 7, our marquee and our captain. Our kicking game was still average most of the time.

He was amazing under the high ball. He was putting himself in the firing line for each of those misses. He isn't strong enough and his technique needs work...... He will be a lot stronger in 2025 and the technique will come. Be patient. He didn't shy away from anything tonight. I see that as a positive.

He unlocked Kyle

Like the look of this squad (apart from Sloan).
I think we can get the donkeys with this team.
Come on FIRE UP !!!

I’d like to offer my humble apologies. You have a keen eye for footy.

Come ye forth o glorious payday

Rikki was offside for all his chases.

He looks too upright in his tackling technique. Needs to get his centre of gravity a bit lower.

It was nice though to see him taking those bombs again and even throwing himself about to clean up kicks along the ground. So trending upwards but still work to do.

He’s 50 games in FFS
There are no excuses for poor tackling technique especially easy 1 on 1’s
