Match Discussion: Round 2 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

[perverse]

0-2 and a loss like that, there's a lot of work to do to come back from this start. Our own worst enemy in both games too.

We could not hold onto one set there... We aren't a winning team it seems. We at the bottom of the ladder already?

 

[Rod]

Golden point can get fked. Never a more obvious game where splitting the points would have been fair.

What was our win streak last year? 11? Now AOB is all of a sudden on a 3-game losing streak.

Very average. Phoenix of old has returned. Halves let us down again.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Our set was so lazy. Runs from Saifiti and Thompson were so lethargic and ineffective. KPP had an offload ready but no one wanted it. Really soft to lose to a team that played so badly.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Hard to care much about this loss when the players didn't seem to want to win. Attitude wasn't there to win it. Beat themselves like last week.

Hastings and Marzhew should be sacked imo.

Handing AOB a 3 year extension after a great yet potentially fluke hot run looking very questionable early on

Would it have hurt to wait & see?

Yep. Both losses definitely self inflicted.

 

[Haffa]

Leadership void is still a glaring issue.

Yeah, they blew their load way too early on that one. Didn't even wait to see if he could back it up.

Still worries me that we lose if Ponga doesn't have a blinder.

Also another instance where we take a penalty goal and don’t score another point after it. No reason to go from 8 to a 10 point lead. Yes it got us to golden point this time, but if we score a try there, we win.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

The trials concerned me. They're playing exactly the same way now.

Realistically we're probably still a top halfback and hooker away from taking a step up.

 

[Alex28]

Pathetic honestly

It’s honestly debatable who hates us more - Greg Alexander, or you.

Consistently bewildering the way they do it. It's almost a death knell for the team at this point. Like Golden Point; they may as well just give the win to the opposition and call it a day.

 

[Apey]

Kicking on the 3rd!!

This went a long way to losing us the game. A half-assed Broncos 2015 GF strategy.

lose a few and AOBs mum pops back in

Shows exactly how short the memory of this forum is.

Two losses and the sky has fallen.

lol. Pathetic.

 

[Apey]

Imagine trying to imply the ref had anything to do with that loss, what a terrible take.

Our attack was awful and that's what cost us in the end. Should have had more points and not given the Cowboys a sniff.

 

[Haffa]

lol. Pathetic.

You’re here refs faulting.
