Match Discussion: Round 5 vs Broncos @ McDonald Jones Stadium

[Knight Vision]

I don't have a good feeling about this game. All set up for a Broncos boil-over.

We can win this but only if the forwards come out breathing fire and brimstone. The Broncos surely will !

 

[Spot On]

.... and for longer than Wayno lasts in the sack too.

Broncos will defiently come out firing with all the (completely justified) criticism they’ve been getting. I don’t think even at they’re absolute best they’re all that dangerous but we’re certainly capable of some absolute shockers and if it’s one of those nights we could get a touch up regardless.

 

[Yosh]

I think we have enough to win as long as we get 50% of the ball. If we don't shoot ourselves in the foot we're more than good for the win.

 

[Tom155]

Fitzy!

 

[Frederick]

Boy does know how to run a great line. Already had about 3 line breaks so far tonight

 

[Burns]

PONGA is GOD.

This is the best crowd in years, the hate for Brisbane, the banter from the stands!

Good half. Broncos are trash, we should win easy.

 

[perverse]

We need to have $1million+ set aside for when Ponga is off contract. How lucky are we to have this kid?

 

[Hardcore_Fan]

Broncos aren’t offering anything in attack. It really says a lot about how shit they are that they can’t crack our edge defence with all the possession

Yeah, the Broncos are trash, although there's a lot of individual danger in some of their ball runners. Our defence has pushed up better tonight (at times) too, which has helped a lot.

 

[Zoidberg]

Need to watch the little, quick men for the broncos, if we cover that, we’re good.
Much improved defence that we need to keep up.
Hopefully we can get a few more opportunities in the 20 and can rack up a few more tries.

 

[Spot On]

Speed of line and effort in defence is so much better atm. Fingers crossed they can do it all again in the second half.

Almost undone by Barnett after he makes a great hit on Bird then forgets what he should be doing from marker and we luckily get away with a shit pass from Milford.

Broncos are pretty poor atm so this game is for the taking if we are good enough.

 

[Joel-22]

We needed a lift in the forwards and that's what we've seen so far tonight. Particularly impressed with Lillyman and Ese'ese. Dan needs to continue at the pace they set.
Both Lamb and Ross have been miles better. Lamb still needs to lift in D.

Ponga is a star and I agree with Perverse can we organise some cash for when he comes off-contract. Absolute superstar.

 

[Joel-22]

Barnett has been underwhelming. I'd remind him that Josh King is capable of playing lock and has been playing quite well in reggies

Ponga might be too good really. All blacks will come knocking.

Don't even start with that shit. lol

Ross dawg!

 

[Yosh]

Ah... Have we ever been this good before?

Lillyman and Ese'ese doing a great job setting us up against a strong pack.

Our second rowers poking through on many occasions. I used to think Fitzy was just an average player who was on a bit of a scoring streak but has been so dangerous every touch of the ball. Needs supports to run with him.

Kio has been safe as a house and Ross is having a blinder, lots of energy, great defense and showing a lot more than he has this year.

Sione is a little quiet but has defended well while SKD is looking like a superstar out there. Great meters, interceptions and intensity in defense and getting through a ton of work.

Pearce looks class. He is the experince and solidity we have been missing for years. Those two grubbers to give our players a rest and that one pointer at the end. Couldn't have asked for more.

Ponga is just simply scintillating. He is everywhere in defense and offense and plays the game with a big smile on his face. By far the most talented player I have seen since the great Joey John's.

The intensity in defense and commitment and the desire to win. Not sure how the game will end but that was a near perfect first half in my opinion. How good was Heighton's reaction when they threw that forward pass near the end. Thought he won a grand final. That sort of experience and passion will hopefully rub off onto the younger boys and make them star players.

Go the knights!!
