Mate, did you even watch the game yesterday? Wade pulled off some massive hits on Sam Thaiday in particular, and I even commented to a few people near me at the game that Wade seemed to make it his personal mission to stop Thaiday!

Sure he put some big hits on, but he was also responsible for a couple of tries through poor defense. Our line speed when defending our own line was pathetic!!!

Hang in there guys, I am a broncos supporter, and much of what you are all saying we have been saying for the last two months. Just stick with your guys and hopefully they can still make the eight. You have some fantastic players and some good young guys coming through.

i got bagged on here and p1 when i said walsh was not up to first grade.I am not happy to see my scouting on him ring true.Say what you like but walsh and graham can not be on the field at the same time between them they are making 10 missed tackles a game .I am a fan of Graham as he has a load of natural ability and given time will become a stand out so he stays
The last tackle options are killing us.We need another hooker on the bench.Aiton is dying on the tail end of games bring Romelo in he has that mongrell factor missing right in the team now

I agree. Aiton is going at the end of the year, so I would bring Romelo up NOW.

At least Walsh adds a last tackle option. Before his appearance we had NO last tackle options. Elliott needs to address the defensive line to cover for Walsh. He should have Lewis or House standing next to him in the line to help out.

I have bit my tounge since our second half capitulation against the Broncos.

I am at a loss to explain how a side can concede so many line breaks and tries from a pass out of dummy half and then one pass back on the inside to a ball runner who strolls thru untouched setting up a try.

I have never ever seen anything like what I witnessed in the second half against the Broncos.

Such simple plays but somehow we were not able to combat them and they ran riot.

It would have been easier to accept if it happened in the first half and we simply ran in a few consolation tries in the second half. But to be leading at half time in such a crucial game and turn it up the way we did was disappointing and worthy a few Zanax to get thru the week.
