[Showtime]

It’s concerning that Carrigan appears to be our best ball playing option whilst Reynolds and Walsh are out. Kev certainly hasn’t put systems in place so that we’re semi competitive whilst our best players are out like the Panthers and Storm. The dolphins with half the talent are making us look pathetic.

 

[MRN]

The entire team was putrid. Trying to score almost every play. Not willing to earn it. Plenty of flash and strike, but no creatives, leadership or game managers.
Madden ain't it. Simple. He hasn't got it. He's isn't a first grader.
Mam can score a try but he ain't a game manager. At least not at this stage.
At the moment we are just another team in the league that lose their two best players and become shot to shit.

 

[MRN]

If I could take 1 positive out of this - Karapani didn't give 1 flying f**k who Latrell Mitchell is and shaped up to him several times in defence, and put him down quite convincingly more then once.

 

[Showtime]

If Walsh is out I only want to see Cobbo at fullback, I don’t need to see Sailor. I’ve given up on the season, I want to see what Mozer has got.

To say that the "Dolphins with half the Talent" is a bit rich. The Dolphins have heaps more experience in the forwards and play a more controlled style. The Broncos suffer from the courier mail syndrome where they are all seen as superstars. Reece Walsh isn't going to save them, the roster is grossly overrated and Kevie appears a bit clueless.
