Don't watch Mead try in slo mo ... Ruins it

 

[POPEYE]

Johnson's was intentional and Mead's adlib . . . still the best bounce of the ball in history

 

[Dingus]

Lockes was good but came after a 7 metre forward pass

No, pass was fine.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Pulleaaase. What a load of hot snot. Nowhere near forward.

Johnsons try showed that the hype about him is not misguided, he could be an absolute champion, all things going right. Mead's handling showed how high the skills of rugby league players are these days, especially compared to other sports. Again, Mead is a special talent.

But to my eyes the biggest talent on show out of both games is Jack Reed. This kid will be a superstar.

Crikey . . . another one. Darth Vader has learned the error of his ways. Good post

If anyone missed them:

David Meads Try

Johnson's try

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

Both were amazing in their own right. But I thought Johnson's was better.

 

[Alan Johnson]

That Mead try was incredible, but I doubt he (or anyone else) will do that again. Whereas I wouldn't be surprised if Johnson has a few more of those type of tries in him.

 

[seaeagle sam]

Johnson's by a long way. Mead's was spectacular, Johnson's was sheer class.

 

[ceagle]

Am I the only one who thinks Mead's try was a fluke and not that impressive?

 

[Alan Johnson]

Clearly fluke but impressive nonetheless imo. Just a sweet flukey pickup.

dingus is an apt username. alternatively, you could have called yourself matt checchin.

Those two Warriors trys last night were pretty f**king good and kept their team in the contest given they were being dominated.

 

[Habitual Linestepper]

Johnson's by a long way. Mead's was more luck than anything imo. Johnson beat 6 or 7 players with strength, speed and footwork. Special player.

I thought Warriors were dominating us in the middle for large portions of that game.

 

[attila_the_gorilla]

In the first 20 minutes I thought the Broncos pack outplayed the Warriors, not much field position for us, two long range tries against the run of play put us in the game. The back en of he first half, we improved and gained control. But then you guys scored against the run of play.

puh-lease. We lost Hannant and still handled them up the middle.

As for the Mead try, I think you guys are selling it short by calling it arsey. While not as brilliant as Johnson's try, definitely one out of the "I've never seen that before" box.

Handled and dominated are two very different things.

We should prob be discussing this in the broncos forum, but have you seen the stats ? They suggest things were pretty evan in that department.
