Greatest Defensive Display of all time? *spoilers*

[Canard]

The Origin that Langer broke his leg, and QLD defended with 12 men for a large chunk of the second half makes this seem like croquet.

Not that I expect the OP to have heard of Allan Langer

Can't argue the logic so you're playing the man instead.

Top defence today though.

I cop that shit all the time, including in this very thread. Suck it up.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

My pop reckons Glebe defended like mutherfuvkers back in '23.

 

[insert.pause]

It was good, but it shouldn't have been needed, the Broncos should have run up a score on Melbourne had they had any punch up front or line speed in defense, just made it really difficult for themselves by conceding 70m each set Melbourne had the ball, giving them a shot on their line each time.

Warriors game against panthers in 2010 was better.

In Rd 1 when real premierships are won, Souffs blew your merkins off the park.

Also food for thought, our defensive coach is Stephen Kearney.

 

[Parra]

Eels Bulldogs 4-2 GF in 1986.

Look at the line-ups and work out how any team could stop these teams from scoring.

Also foot for thought, our defensive coach is Stephen Kearney.

I dare you to post that in the Parramatta forum

I jokingly mentioned this to my Eels missus.

Apparently, I'm sleeping in the spare room.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

wot?

I said captain!

Broncos can't afford to keep playing that way and conceding so many line drop outs, they did the same thing against NQ earlier this year and the Cowboys had too many points in them to keep out. Broncos front row just isn't strong enough against the better sides who won't give up the ball or concede penalties and will just have Brisbane back-pedalling in defence and struggling to get out of their end. They have to sort it out quick.

 

[Perth Red]

worked hard but Storm were dire in attack. Good effort by the Broncos players.

wot?

Jumping on typos now? You sad, strange little man. I hope we verse Merge in the Granny just so we can beat you on the big stage a third time

Greatest defensive display of all time, I reckon.

I find this effort from Albert a lot better.

Byrne was stumbling along and was ankle tapped by Lewis and Sattler had him covered, Byrne also wasn't known for speed. Seers on the other hand was a speed machine and looked like he would score for all money till Albert came from nowhere and saved the day. Without that tackle Newcastle might not have even made the Grand Final where Albert pulled of the last minute try.

If we can get past the OP being a complete douche, it was a pretty damned good defensive effort. The number of times they pulled down a charging Bromwich half a metre out was a good demonstration just how determined the donkeys were to keep their line intact today.

Another nomination that should please the OP: New South Wales in game 1 last year. Both Morris brothers brilliant individual efforts while injured obviously stand out, but Queensland were virtually camped on our line for the last 20 minutes of the game and we refused to let them through. No way any of the NSW teams that lost 8 in a row would have stood up under that pressure.

D is two spaces away from T, bro.

It's food for thought, mgte.

:lol::lol::lol: The first few posts were nothing but me copping blows from the backseats and when I reply in kind, I'M the douche.
