Prelim Finals - Gameday - Broncos v Warriors

[nswarrior]

Thanks Ref - suddenly you are so fair in the last 5 minutes of the game after f**king is over for 75 minutes

42-12, Denver Broncos. Final.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Even my Broncos mate watching the game can't believe the calls and double standards.

Sure have been so shockers, but there are 4 main areas the game has been won

Run Metres - Bris 1825 Warriors 1300
Line Breaks - Bris 11 Warriors 3
Offloads - Bris 23 Warriors 6
Missed Tackles - Warriors 49 Bris 23

Know how shit it is to cop dud calls in huge games, but don’t let it take away the enjoyment of the whole season

Hows the sponsor twitter/X account going?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

Absolutely outclassed, it has to be said. The Broncos could beat the Panthers, we can't. Those two teams play a style well above the other 15 clubs.

Big lesson for 2024 that we need to find something more.

Hell of a fun season, though

Well congrats Brisbane, no surprises really, but the leg up from the refs that they didn’t need spoiled it as a spectacle

Penrith will be loving how easy you stripped them in that first half

 

[nswarrior]

Broncos better esp. in the forwards. Haas dominated AFB I thought and Carrigan had a great 1st spell. Too fast, and too strong the Bronx

Yeah, there were some significant defensive issues on their line

Don't think refs only reason, but it's the main one.
No sin bin on 2 opportunities. But as soon as we blink we get binned.
We on top in the game before 3m forward pass try.
Run meters controlled by 10m set by ref and how long you can be in lie in the tackle, but also our line speed.
Offloads our fault not wrapping up the ball, but held calls seemed late for Broncos.
DWZ defence a problem.
Pompey goal kicking a problem.

Yep, even Broncos mate called it 24-12 score and he feels a bit deflated with how it unfolded. Normally enjoys rubbing it in.

Next time anyone talks about changing the grand final time, shut their mouth.
Channel 9 just got refs to insure no talk this week about that.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

I have never cheered for Penrith before but will be doing next weekend.

Is it the Broncos fault the refs made the bad calls?
Yes they are the beneficiaries, but can they be blamed?

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Now channel 9 admitting this was the grandfinals they wanted!
Brown paper bag on way to ref.

I kinda feel sorry for Pompey. He’s a workhorse trying to foot it with thoroughbreds. Hopefully he’s an NSW Cup star next year.

Yep that’s spot on, Brisbane ran with intent for 80mins, won contact all game bending the line and creating offloads, Warriors weren’t hitting the ball up hard and were getting slower play the balls through not winning any contact. Walker tried to change that when he came off the bench and it was noticeable

 

[TheDMC]

Brisbane were better, no doubt. The ref- what a merkin. We need RTS in The centers for some strike and we need a lot more second phase aka offloads. 2024 our year!

Forward battle next week will be huge

We’re still short a quality big man IMO. Brisbane killed us with offloads last night.

I’m sad
