Can't really think of any shocking defense decisions from Reed.

Thaiday always misses a few too many tackles.

Reed was fine in defence, Lockyer and Thaiday looked a little shakey but generally recovered. Yow Yeh made a bad read at the start but improved as the game went on.

Yeah.......YY didn't have the greatest of starts. Thought he showed good character by recovering for the rest of the game as well as he did.

Pleased with Anderson and McC's performance as well as the usual Hannant and Thaiday show.

Glenn was again one of the best.......not sure about the ch9 m.o.t.m though

Hala.....BARNSTORMING try

Locky and Reed were great

Really happy to see McC play the full 80 ( i think) .......anyway a lot more game time than usual. He's on the improve

No Baptiste......?

I thought Wallace's kicking game was a touch off. His kicks/bombs need more hang time.......they kinda look tentative.

In summing up .......a very good team performance IMO

The saints turned up. We were better

Tough call on the one point. I'm going to give it to Mc although Hannant, Glenn or Thaiday would have been as equally deserving

3. Lockyer
2. Reed
1. McCullough

How big a difference does Hannant make for our side? We can actually bend the line now and THEN go wide instead of relying on a good run from one of our backrows.

Good game tonight.

Hey McC didn't play the full 80.
You are usually right and smart kid but Norman came on for about 10 mins.

3. Reed - wow, great game tonight, don't think even Hodges could have gone that well tonight, that left side defence of the Dragons will be having nightmares tonight.
2. Lockyer - nothing needs to be said
1. Thaiday - best Broncos game of the year I reckon

McCullough looked better. Glenn, Hoffman also played well. Very happy with the win.

Macca, you beauty... No one knocked the ball off your hands!
Doesn't it just taste so good to stick it to the dragqueens?
Didn't really understand the Gagai option on the bench, and why he didn't come on after Yow Yeh looked a bit underdone in the second half.

They were missing a few and lost Hornby, but we're missing more players and still won this game, even though you could see that there was a lot of tired people out there.

With the bye after Origin 3, we're frankly looking in good shape for a top 4 finish.

How good was Hala scoring that try on pure power and determination?

Many people deserve wraps this game, and I can't really fault anyone but those f**king refs for their screwing up. 2 tries for the dragqueens came off blatant mistakes, and the Reed offload for YY's second looked dodgy too...

Anyway:
3- Reed
2- Lockyer
1- Hannant

The whole team did well, especially the forwards.

What a great night at the footy. I was seated right next to the away supporters bay. When dragons scored first they all started carrying on like absolute tools, calling shit out and giving broncs fans the finger and childish crap like that. The looks on their faces when locky hit that field goal was priceless.

Our origin stars all performed great tonight, and geez I rate Glenn and Reed highly. I'll wait til I watch a replay before voting. Great win.

3. Lockyer (crucial plays at crucial times)
2. Glenn (I can understand why he got m.o.m and I think he's been underestimated by the voters so far)
1. Reed

One of the proudest I've ever been of Broncos boys. They really deserved to win by plenty.

I can't speak highly enough of Glenn. He hits guys hard in defence, his runs are very strong and kick chase is excellent. I'm stoked he is being touted as future captain. At the moment Glenn >> Thaiday. Thaiday's form is a real concern for me. The effort is definitely there but he is not penetrating with his runs like he normally does and then he gets frustrated and does something stupid.

Reed is the new Gillett.

Hoffman's positional play was a bit of a worry tonight. Several times we smashed the Dragons in defence and they had to kick from well within their half. Hoffman should have been way up field to collect those kicks on the full but we lost our advantage a couple of times there which was disappointing. Something he can easily fix though.

Gagai on the bench is a bit of a mystery. Might have been a blessing in disguise as Macca was playing really well. I remember last season when Macca was having a blinder but they took him off simply because there was a 2nd hooker on the bench.

Tremendous team performance, go forward was very good and this helped Macca's look much better. Thaiday's work covering on the inside is great to watch. Feel guilty leaving a couple out of selections but I do not think you could be wrong no matter who you pick this week. Lockyer does make the difference, in a close game when it comes to the back end, who else would you want on the park, makes it look easy;

1. Lockyer
2. Thaiday
3. Hannant
