Well, in the end, if Brisbane couldn't beat Newie without Buderus and Simpson, they'd want to give it away. But, 50-6? My word, I was waiting for them to declare or enforce the follow-on or something.
They pretty much did declare taking Lockyer, Berrigan, Webcke and Pertro off the field with 15minutes to go. If Lockyer an Berrigan had of stayed on the field I'm sure a few more tries would have materialized.
I thought Brisbane played a fantastic, controlled game tonight. Standouts were Petro and Lockyer, but almost the whole team played their parts to perfection from Carroll to Berrigan, Hunt and Hodges. Perry provided good service and relieved some of the kicking pressure from Locyer and also made some great tackles. Boyd tonight also justified the number of games he has played this season with one of his better games this year. Control of the ball was excellent. Part way through the second half they showed the broncos completion rate as 24/26.
I tuely believe that Broncos will win there game against the Bulldogs. They are going into the game with minimal injuries compared to the Bulldogs, and have accounted for them twice this season. Form is also good with 5 excellent performances over the past 6 weeks.
