Post Match 2023 Broncos vs Warriors - Week 3 Finals (Post Match)

[jonesy101]

This silly complaint to continue with. Fans whinged for years to get another team into Brisbane, they got that, now they're whinging that the Broncos get to play that new Brisbane team... in Brisbane.

You got to play an away game during Magic Round. Even playing a couple at the Gabba there were still more games at Suncorp than pitch invaders at Napier.

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

bad luck warriors would much rather you guys been on the other side of the draw as i wanted you guys in the GF this year just not at the expense of my own team,hopefully we get to run it back next year.

just a thought on your back 5 going into next year with RTS coming would a center pairing of RTS/CNK and a spine of 1.TMM 6.metcalf 7.johnson 9.egan be a bit better for you blokes?still get the hard carries from CNK and RTS but a but more play making out of your fullback?

1 CNK
2 D W Zelezniak
3 A Leiataua
4 RTS
5 M Montoya / Berry?
6 L Metcalf
7 S Johnson

Your response here doesn't really help push this agenda any further.

We play our home games at our home.
We play Dolphins at their (our) home.
We play Magic Round away, at our home.
Rabbitohs bought a game to Sunshine Coast.

The Gabba games were OUR home games that were moved from Suncorp because it wasn't available for use during those rounds. They were regular home games, nothing special.

It's a dud complaint. Penrith left NSW 6 Times. We left QLD 7 times.

Its not an agenda. Its factual. Not that I'm complaining because the Broncos crowds are the best in the NRL which makes it a smart financial decision, also looks good on TV, almost as good as Napier and understand why they would want to do it. That the Warriors have to travel so much is the reality of playing in a competition dominated by Eastern Australian clubs, but the heartwarming thing about this season was how well they played in most of their away games.

The commentators mentioned that after the break, the touch judges hadn't actually caught up to be inline with the play, so can understand them missing it. Now, I know it's technically outside the rules, but I kind of expect that Klein in the bunker would have had more than enough of an opportunity to get in the ref's ear ad tell him 'mate that was a bad one, your call but you should pull that up'.

They tried 2 refs & dropped that, how about 2 touchies do one half of the field each side & the other 2 the same for the other half? They have to do something or just let all forward passes go.
The touchies can't keep up with the speed of the game (or players) and could start getting a run on as play approaches their half so they can keep up with Reece
Seriously though, it's either a rule or it isn't and if it is they need something to 'police' it.

i mean for the obvious ones should be as simple as calling it a knock on im sure the bunker can rule on those

Again these are the 1%'s I'm looking at.

I have at times been critical of Tohu's lateral defence this season. Last week was herculean and needed to be repeated. Last night the issue was he is so critical on at as a ball playing lock, that when he doesn't play that role, our attack stifles. It looked like his groin / knee was fucked and you could see he wasn't taking the ball to the line and passing *at pace*.

Watch the replay from 20mins and focus on Tohu. He's completely stuffed. Cant run. You know his body is done in because he has the heart of a lion.

Like Penrith without both Luai and Yeo, we become one dimensional.

I watched the pace being set by Brisbane and not us. SJ could have put the ball out every kick to enforce a walk to the scrum. We could have slowed them down in the tackles except they smashed us in the tackles. We could have slowed down their ruck speed but they won that too.

We tried to go with them but they out sprinted us like Bronson Xerri did to Gutho before he failed his drugs test . Only it was young legs outpacing us.

What I'm getting at is while I agree we need a better more mobile pack, we could have mitigated the Brisbane speed by competing better at shutting down their offloads, dominance in tackles and ruck speed. We lost all of those and the game.

Your post absolutely disregards facts though. I'd implore you to go and actually look at the draw and compare it to other Aus based teams, don't just trust what NSWRL journos are spitting out to try and sell stories.

I also just read here that the Warriors travelled commercially into Brisbane on Thursday. You'd do better questioning that decision than going after a false narrative that the Broncos never left our home ground. In what world do you charter a plane for a game in Napier and fly on AirNZ for the biggest game the team has played in over a decade, choose to travel on a Thursday giving only a single full day in your new timezone?

You're way overthinking it now. Slow your brain.

 

[run_it_str8_again]

i hope the panthers win the GF on a blatant forward pass.... like 3m forard type stuff

I hope the Panthers and the Broncos lose. Then give the Churchill medal to the ref and all the reffing team and bunker blokes come on stage with the trophy and start singing "ya ya yippee yippee ya"

I'm trying to not think about the fact that we're playing Penrith next week

 

[CWC]

Is that your halves combination to take us to the promise land?

I was replying to someone asking about goalkickers

 

[Juno]

That could work. Problem is everyone moans about bunker input into the game as it is & nek minnit 'the ball floated forward'
Pretty sure there's technology around that takes the human aspect out.

Can all you broncos fans offering us comisserations go back to your HQ. Let us grieve in peace..Not mentioning any names..

 

[Up the guttz]

Everything just came off for the Broncs all there offloads stuck Farsnworths try how he didn't drop it I don't know musta had that crazy sticky spray on the hands.. Proud of this year let's gone.

Yeah was quite crazy. Couldn’t belive none of the offloads went to ground

Still passing bricks? Or have you increased fibre in your diet? Congratulations on a stellar season. I am internally bitter and will be for some time.

 

[tyrael]

Question, does Tohu strap himself up for Mad Monday?

Strap two bottles of scrumpy onto each knee?

 

[CWC]

Pompey was a diamond last week but a gravel rock today

Couldn’t kick a conversation to save his life. Lost the ball in the first tackle off the scrum. Gets binned for 10. What a god dam disaster. Also losing the ball on the first tackle killed our confidence and fight back.

Ford - not paying attention to Walters that close to the line and getting fooled by the dummy pass is criminal.

Jazz’s absolute brain explosion trying an offload and tiring position over was so Jazz like.

It’s these critical moments from our usual brain fart players that changed the momentum of the game. I could see heads dropping after each play.

DWZ doing what he does on D and cutting on catching no one was so DWZ like…

SJ looked super frustrated also.

I dunno. It is what it is. You take the highs of last week then need to swallow the lows of defeat

They either learn from it or we put new players in there lol

DWZ probably will be fine, he did hold his nerve in earlier games, went nuts in that first half tackling oxygen

Jazz horror passing, Ford should have given him a mouthful lol

Just do AI offside, knock on and forward passes lol, we are gonna be taken over by it anyway hahaha

Heck head high as well, AI adjudicating Harry Grant slap on the face on the big screen

Luai vs Walsh to see who can be the biggest show off.
