POST GAME [Round 11, 2022] Broncos vs Knights

[Jedhead]

Up there with this. Remind me again who the QLD fullback is:

That was a $million dollar fend right there. I think Ponga needs to start doing more work for his dosh and listening less to his media hype.

 

[Jedhead]

Since I posted this prior to round 7 we've gone on to hit 30+ 4 times in the 5 games since lol. Really appreciate that from the boys.

Can you please complain about us not hitting 50+ often enough.

Baby steps mate. Have to start at 40 lol. Would it hurt us to hit 40+ in a big win sometime jeez.

Just checking back, we haven't hit 40 since round 25 2018 vs Manly.

Up there with this. Remind me again who the QLD fullback is:

I know it's a split second decision but why do players continually go high up to tackle? There is a chance of an offload, yes but cut him down with a tackle around the legs. Especially when you're a smaller man to the person you're tackling.

Also, I know they were targeting Edrick Lee but felt they missed a trick by not bombing more often to Young for Oates. Think I remember just the one bomb? Maybe a second.

Tackle around the legs puts a player on the ground quickly, so while you cut off the chance for an offload, you give away the fast play the ball which is often a much worse outcome. Going high and attempting to wrap up the ball while preventing the player from getting to the ground and playing the ball quickly is the only effective way to defend in today's game with all the ridiculous rule changes.

I'd love to see more players like Hetherington going in low and chopping players down at the legs, but it's not the best defensive method for the team anymore and players are trained to go high.

Gotta high light a hit Patty put on last night .
It was a clean rib tickler . I have criticised Haas for being soft in defence . Seems Patty and Flegs are taking up the slack for the big boys .

Also TMM should get friendly with Flegs . There are offloads available most every run . Flegs was being conservative last night . Had the ball ready to offload more than once .

That little step Flegler has makes people grab at him rather than hit n stick . That`s part of the reason he can get his ball carrying arm free so often .

I notice they've been coached to twist the legs, land the ball carrier on his back and get underneath them if over the try line. It's made a massive difference to our defence. Staggs, Martin and Paix were pulling it off with aplomb last night.

Also ripping at the arms .
Several tries have been saved by making the opposition loose the ball . Kotoni last night . Herbie previous .

No arguments from me on this one. Just stating an observation..

Turps should start looking for another club. He wont get a run anymore this year bar injuries..
Good to know the club has realised you need some speed from the 9 (unless you can read the game like C Smith)

I saw highlights of a young 9 coming through the ranks. He is a gun and looks quick!

Billy has a better pass .
Turps might be a better tackler . Billy is an option for kicks . Stick with a winning combo .

that’s some old school gold ! The original and best Broncos victory song ! Stick with that one

What are even the lyrics to that?

 

[Big Del]

Up there with this. Remind me again who the QLD fullback is:

He got brushed off by Billiam too .
Bill shrugged him when he scored his try .

 

[KnToad]

AOB trying to play the former team odds... with the amount of ball and field position Gee was gifting them it could've come off, but Milf couldn't create any opportunities, because his running game is non-existent nowadays

Did you see him? He looks like he ate a sheep

 

[GotheBroncs]

Couldn’t imagine if we still had X.Coates on the roster blocking Cobbo. With hindsight, glad he left. I rate Cobbo higher the Coates and I feel like his ceiling is higher too.

 

[KnToad]

Herbie didn’t celebrate his own try, didn’t seem to have the same energy and is he there in that team song vid?

I've been watching him closely for the last 3-4 weeks and he's been the same every week. I think he's going to The Dolphins so he is not getting excited about how the team is building. I hope he doesn't but he is definitely not getting into it like the rest of the boys.

His defense is much better - he doesn't keep running in and tackling fresh air while his opposing winger runs past him.
