Match Discussion: Round 25 vs Brisbane @ Suncorp Stadium

[Alex28]

He picked it up in front of where he knocked it on. How was that a try?

 

[General Knight]

Even the broncs players that knew it was a knock on. You see it in their reaction when the try was scored.

 

[Burwood]

Appeared to go backwards, but only because Coates fell about 3m forward.

 

[Yosh]

Nice. Unlucky there

 

[Jono078]

Feels like we are forcing the issue becuase the instructions are to expand the ball.
This is what I meant by I don’t know how this builds confidence if the keep up these errors and forcing the pass.

 

[Alex28]

Ugh, not sure if Ponga forcing the issue there or Jones just in the way. Either way but poor. These are the things we need fixed by next week.

I mean, this is a training run for who might make the bench for next week. Our real squad will be alright.

I don't get how we expect to rest our forward pack but also play more attacking football. If you're gonna rest players, may as well rest the important ones too. This does nothing for our confidence.

 

[Yosh]

The football looks good. Since we haven't played expansive all year probably take time to adjust but really liking our play today. A line break from a kick return was unreal.

Hahaha Milfplod

I wish I had your outlook and optimism. The last month does not make me think our real squad will be alright. Playing our starting spine without our starting forwards today was probably the worst way to go about today, IMO

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Another soft penalty in Brisbane's favour

 

[Jono078]

This is one of those days. Refs are being really suspect with their calls

 

[Yosh]

Finally we going out the back instead of dud plays to our second rowers. Real pity we losing Connor because he is linking really well.

 

[Tom155]

Sigh

 

[Burns]

Did Ponga just completely overrun that?

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Dumb challenge there

 

[Yosh]

Best grubber I've seen from Pearce ever. Nice.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Ffs Pearce what the hell was that

 

[Tom155]

Wow that was dumb from Pearce

 

[Jono078]

So we played Pearce to get him better at running late in the set and pushing offloads.
