[NRLW Round 5, 2022] Broncos vs Eels

[broncos4life]

Tarsha Gale is deadset the worst commentator in this game. Hates the Broncos too. She’s often just flat out wrong whilst disputing things the Broncos do and nobody ever responds to her.

She is awful.

 

[broncos4life]

We really, really need a goal kicker.

 

[Waynesaurus]

Man I cannot believe how far we have fallen so quickly.

Plenty of changes to the team tho and we did lose some important players.

I think they are going ok, they just need some more time together.

 

[Fozz]

Eels score again That's some ordinary defence.

 

[broncos4life]

Disgusting.

 

[Fozz]

Game over 16-26.

What a sad season.

 

[broncos4life]

They should be fucking ashamed, they need a clean out.

 

[Bull Shark]

I wonder if the Roosters will be ripped apart like the broncos were, if they win the premiership again this year ?

*slaps own face* I say stupid things sometimes, of course they won’t

 

[Bull Shark]

They should be fucking ashamed, they need a clean out.

Weren’t they involuntarily cleaned out because they were too successful?

 

[Fozz]

I wonder if the Roosters will be ripped apart like the broncos were, if they win the premiership again this year ?

Probably, they built that team last year with the sole purpose of beating the Broncos and ending the streak. They've got the premiership and get a free pass for this year.

Damn, Chapman is a good player. Hope she's back next year.

Terrible. Seems the free-fall from the women’s side has accelerated to kind of where we are now - around about but losing because aren’t doing the little things properly or we don’t have the people who can

Some dumb footballers and some plodders who don’t do much with the poor game plans

Players I’d keep moving forward:

Aiken
Ferguson
Chapman
Robbo
Ciesiolka
Fogavini
Larsson
Hall
Lenarduzzi
Brigginshaw (she had a good enough season to stave off my calls for retirement)

One thing I continually see regardless is being dominated in the ruck/10m. We’re so slow and every team makes bulk metres.

We also lack acceleration through our attack sets - no one hitting the line at speed and getting quick ptb’s.

This won’t get easier with 4 new teams next season. It’ll be very interesting to see how many players move from their current teams, particularly the Roosters, but player retention and recruitment will get harder as players will see spots in starting sides open - which is why I’m still a little worried about Ferguson.

I don’t think she’ll leave, but I would like not to risk it. Hooker is obviously hers if she wants it but I feel halves is still her best position and the one she wants

 

[Viti]

I don’t know what the hell the coach was thinking with some of his selections this season, it was like we were playing under 8’s and everyone had to have a run

 

[Foordy]

a 20% win record was enough to make the finals this year, lol

 

[Sproj]

And the Broncs couldn't achieve that. Joke of a competition but don't worry, Abdo will defend it with useless stats!

please ... as usual he won't be seen, he'll send out Annesley to do the defending

 

[Super Freak]

Brigginshaw was in tears in the press conference, broke down during it.

Brigginshaw shows how much it means to the players

Broncos captain and halfback Ali Brigginshaw is overcome by emotion after her side is eliminated from the 2022 NRLW Competition

Hopefully that sparks the side for next season and we see them get back to where they were before this year.

 

[Mister Wright]

You’d have to think Chapman makes the move to fullback next season. Her and Aitken are the future of the Broncos.

Hopefully Gould can be fully fit next season as we looked a much better team with her at 9.

Outside of Round 1, Chapman has last played fullback a year and a half ago and I don’t really think she can be elite there, as she’s been moved almost immediately back to centre or wing both in NRL or QCup for arguably lesser players

We looked good in the Titans game with Gould, but she’ll be 40 next year and we need a successor that’s actually a hooker

Maynard did very little to warrant re-signing her for next season
