Round 9 v Broncos

[herbert henry1908]

I hate those consolation points

You just know someone who counts is going to use the comeback as some type of cause for optimism. It would've been better had we lost 40-0.

 

[betcats]

We have scored 2 first half point in our last 3 games or something ridiculous, we are being held back by a f**king terrible coach.

 

[age.s]

As much as we didn't deserve it, that joke of a call at the start of the game would have made the end really interesting.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Brisbane's soft defence late covers up an otherwise inept performance again.

Anyone who sees any positives out of a 13+ loss is f**king geniused.

Our defence is shit. By far the worst in the NRL. Broncos tried to close up shop. Let in a few consolation tries but the first chance they get they still score zero tackle.

We are by far the worst team in the competition. You have to be f**king blind and biased to think theres a softer more pea hearted team than us.

Shit momentum never swung with us until Kikau was forced onto the field... someone Hook has dropped and avoided putting on. Imagine if Browne was fit... we probably lucky to score once.

We didn't create anything until Moylan became our primary ball player... and at the end he reminded us he is a shit fullback. Straight into 6 next game.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

In saying that, Moylan's pass selections were very good, Carty looked far better. But, showing how easy those tries were in the 2nd half, Brisbane incredibly outscored us in missed tackles 55-39, foxsports had brisbane at 11 at ht which means they missed close to 44 in the 2nd.

Not that I count, but it won't be me. That was the worst performance of the season for the first 60.

Was kinda hoping we got smashed by 50+ so those changes would be made. But hook will probably use the 2nd half as hope and name the same side.

 

[Panther Pete]

We are are very frustrating side to support. Play like the rabble we have come to expect for 60 mins and then like a switch has been flicked, start playing some attractive footy for 15 mins and actually show some urgency in defence. Other than making the score semi respectable it doesn't detract from the fact there are still some serious issues with this side.

 

[greynurse]

God I wished so bad that we could pull something out of the fire, but really are we only good when we play a team that is already in the sheds after a 28 point lead.
Started well but we just got loose after a try. We just are so soft.

 

[Fangs]

Nah. One positive. They played 10 minutes of good football. Only a genius wouldn't see that.

 

[martielang]

I thought with the ball even though we scored a doughnut in the first half, there were signs of improvement. We looked semi - dangerous when we held onto it.

As for the defence...

We got some atrocious calls in the first half but our mental strength is non existent.

 

[Fangs]

I'm on the bandwagon boys.

The season is well and truly over finals wise. Moylan to 6 seems inevitable once Hook loses his position. I honestly think this is the best squad we have assembled since 2003 and here we are...

Very sad state of affairs.

Carty looked better than Moylan? Or better than himself last week?

I thought his pass selection was poor. He nearly always favored the guy off his hip who had to catch a line ball at speed and was well and truly covered while there were numbers put the back who make the catch easy.

I would honesly look at a big overhaul after that.

Merrin to prop. f**k off Browne
Carty to lock
Moylan to 5/8th
Edwards at fullback

For starters. That solves a few issues. Need a proper winger for Hiku... but if Edwards is at fullback we have none. Not sure if Hiku on wing beats Whare. But a winger watching as he opponent goes through untouched... thats just ridiculous. Mansour needs to get fit soon.

We need to do something about Tamou also. He is not horrible. But hes not veru good either. He is a waste of cap space. I want to drop him but obviously a $750k player wont be dropped unless he has beers after a game

Only one bad call in that first half cost us points. The other 35 minutes we were torn apart by Broncos.

How bad were we if that is a sign of improvement? Our defence was not because of a bad call. It is terrible every week. Its our attitude that is bad.

 

[kinghippo]

very weird feeling knowing our season is over so early.
If I wasn't so angry I would be sad.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

No better than himself, Moylan was definitely better. I agree Carty was hitting some guys way too hard on the chest, they were hospital passes but as the game went on (maybe it was due to Brisbane's crap defence) but he was throwing some nice passes which put people in space. But 100% agree moylan needs to go to 6.

 

[mxlegend99]

Nah. One positive. They played 10 minutes of good football. Only a genius wouldn't see that.

You think playing 10 good minutes in an 80 minute game is a positive?

Broncos clocked off. We were shit. When they switched on we had absolutely nothing.

Can still be an enjoyable year jf we punt Griffin and give Matty his shot at 6

Agreed 100% then. Moylans passes were amazing in that little spell were Broncos fell asleep.

Take Carty out nothing changes. Take Moylan out we are lucky to score any of them. But again... Broncos clocked off after a massive scoreline and switched to closing the game out footy. They suck at that.
