Round 24 v Broncos

[Old Timer]

FMD some of you people are just wankers
What did you really expect tonight?
We are not in the same ball park as the Broncos in roster or coaching ability
The way some we picking on Mann is woeful
This is his 2nd game at half against a top class outfit in a must win game for gods sake wake up to yourselves
The coach got us into this ridiculous situation and you expect players that have been dicked around all year to get you out of the hole.
Some shameful stuff being written you need to blame the right people and not those that give it 100%

Trying too hard I think

Exactly what I said, if he had been given the whole season to grow into the roll we wouldn't need the $1.2 mill hooker

 

[Crush]

Feel sorry for Aitken. Hes a good little player I reckon. Hopefully next year be has a good season.

Agree...tried very hard as a team. Brisbane's 2nd phase play killed us..we are still very predictable..would love to see them play a bit more ad lib and a few more offloads from the forwards. we are so easy to read and don't threaten the opposition defensive line at all.

Kurt Mann defensively woeful and not much in attack. I guess we were wrong

Deserves more time. He won't be there next year regardless but is still the most likely player to spark something for us.

I thought Widdop had another underwhelming match with the ball, which is unfortunate.

 

[Coffs dragon]

Tried hard but seriously lack penetration in the backline. JDB and Fritz tried their guts out and Dugan was close to the Broncos best tonight! Season definitely over 3 weeks ago and just re-confirmed more.

 

[thebigredv]

I bet you results go our way this weekend!
Need to beat Penrith next week!
We tried very hard tonite - just a little naive.. Effort 10/10

Yay.

Alex Johnston to score a few tries for us next week too.

Brother with respect, let it go.
We are a rabble and will loose againts the Panthers by 20 plus.
Ill be the first to appologise and eat my words if we win and pray Im wrong.
BUT we are the worst coached team, bar none, including the Gold Coast.
Coached to play Anti football if that makes any sense at all.

Run the wrong angles.
Pass short instead of long, and vice versa.
Telegraph our passes.
Telegraph our kicks.
Dont know when to take the tackel, when to pump our legs.
Defence is terrible (plant our feet)

Wrong wrong and wrong.

Rant over.

If you really want to look at 2 moments that cost is 12 points simply look at Dugan dropping ball let's in try - TRY
Dugan dropping ball over the line - NO TRY
TOTAL for 2 f**k ups 12 points! Basically the margin we lose by!

 

[jeffdragon]

We all thought we had a chance
It helps when you are . A One team town , endless salary cap and the nrl wants you to succeed.
The Nrl would be stuffed if they werent.

 

[TheElephantSeal]

We tried hard tonight. Just made too many errors in the first half and we do struggled with our kicking game. The players have 100% - can't fault them for that loss.

Can't fault the effort tonight but we still play dumb. Difference is they had Milford and a coach that knows how to win.

 

[thebigredv]

Dugan to play centre for Sharks next year, while Price and McGregor run the drinks out to him - PLEASE!

 

[mobels]

Feel sorry for Aitken. Hes a good little player I reckon. Hopefully next year be has a good season.

He's been strong all season (when he's on the park) and had some good runs tonight. It's also become obvious that he was coached to rush in (which was what everyone was picking on him for).

What people away forget is that he's only 6 months older than Dufty and will continue to develop as a player. Hope he bounces back strongly from the injury.

Noooooooooo

 

[SET2JT]

Didn't kurt mann pull of a try saver?
On the other hand our self made superstar who thinks he sould be on a million dollars got out played by a guy who is playing in the centers for the 2nd year full time.

 

[coast_dragons]

Hey hey don't pick on Mann OT will call you a wanker.

Agreed.

Except Dugan who gave it about 60%...

 

[Bests Golden Boots]

I hope results go our way
We still needed 2win
Still a chance
We will beat penrith
Defence wins games
Not attack

Optimism, I like it, I think it's misplaced, but I like it.

I agree its crazy to bag Mann. Last week everyone was on him now off him? I think though criticism of Dugan is warranted. You need your internationals to perform for their club. They get paid the big bucks. They talk the talk, I expect them to walk the walk.
He makes crucial errors every week. He bombs tries regularly by dropping the ball or by not passing to his outside man when the draw and pass is on.
Can't cop him.

Yeah, but outclassed anyway. Bronco's could say "our goal kicking nearly cost us. Kick those easy ones and the win even if Dragons got 12 more.

Anyway, disappointing. I hate the broncs so farkin much
