Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

But those blokes weren't there. The ones that were did the job.

on the back of lazy defence from the Broncs

Because our boys did not give up and continued to grind them down and wear them out. They were gassed because we stuck to the game plan and processes.

Exhausted not lazy. That is always the game plan. I’m surprised that you can’t see that.

We were up 18-0 at halftime last year.

The plan is to work them over yes but late in the halves not hope they fall apart in the last 10 mins

Was a very different game to last year against a very different team. Point is, they got their plan back on track and ran them down. You only have to listen to interviews from players and they say exactly that.

They were gone with 20 to go.

The only thing that didn’t go to plan was the first 20mins of the second half where they scored three tries.

the game plan is always bash them for 60 and pile on points late in the game.

The shit teams need someone like Kenny in their side. I'd say they have him as a lock though that puts the value down abit but there is no reason.

Dragons
Dogs

and sides like that wouldn't pay $600k. Cam McInnes is that same style

and therein lies the problem for low placed team.

'They' go looking for the 'brightly coloured shiny' players like Luai. Not grunt workers like Kenny.

Ivan, Nathan, Fish, Sorro have all said we should of been more up at halftime.

They'd know what the game plan was

Have they come out and said we would have been up by more if Api and Kiks were on the field?

That is a conclusion some have drawn.

There has been no shortage of players on various podcasts and they all say the margin should of been more at halftime.

Given we only made one error. The quality of what was thrown their way wasn't a high standard. Not sure what else can be made from that

Are you Paul Kent?!?! ‘Some people in league’, ‘people I am talking to’…. Who are these people?

And how have you got from ‘we should have been up more at half time’ to suggesting that we would have been with different players. Name one person who has implied that?

The reality is we did win; I know it disappoints you but again our brains trust demonstrated they are the best in the business. They have reinvented how the game is played, and we are the most dominant team of the salary cap/national comp era. No amount of arguing some spurious counterfactual will change that.

If you want to find a reason why the game was played differently to other games during the second half of 2023, I would point your attention to the ref’s performance. Subjectively that game was referred differently, and I am sure a stats man like yourself could point to stats (the most obvious is the lack of penalties) that a) could point to why it was hard to score points in that first half and b) why it was the right strategy to go long into the game.

They all said that as a compliment to the Broncos defence, not in reference to the game plan.

That is all true but end if the day, they found a way to win

Yes because the game plan was to work them over .Walsh was moved from side to side .Cleary prior to that try and cogger both had little shot at coming back inside.The winning try was planed and well executed

Go back a few pages. The discussion has been going a few days now.

I mentioned last year because both years had a similar dominance numbers wise

Here are numbers from the GF 1st half

Possession 56-44 our way
Territory 62-38 our way
Penalties 1 all
Tackles in opposition 20

26-5 our way

Errors 8-1

In the roles were reversed the Broncos have 2-3 tries.

Same if such a domination happens in Origin.

Any grand final side the same

 

[MugaB]

He didn't go in 5/8. He played both spots

So cogger did nothing then?

 

[Chins get the wins]

So cogger did nothing then?

Ran straighter and caught and passed the ball along. His one strength is knowing his level and getting out of the way

 

[Black Panther]

The Master stood up and won us the game. He was injured in the 20th minute got an injection which didn’t take effect until he tore Brisbane a new one from the 60th minute.
You could see his lateral movement was severely hampered by his knee injury.
Not sure why anyone is still arguing about what did or didn’t happen. The only thing for sure is we won again.

Mate watch the fox coverage, even cooper cronk mentioned it around the 63rd min mark that they've switched positions, and nathan is running outside cogger for most of the plays,
The critta try started from kenny, 1st receiver was cogger to 2nd receiver nate then to critta for the try, it was happening from around the 60th minute, they want cogger doing the directing, but nate running and kicking
