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

[MrFrankWhite]

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if he actually called it quits. He was apparently close to doing so after last season

He got wrecked making a tackle and should have got taken off.

It’s was both sad knowing that the game was over but also heartwarming. He should have never come back on the 2nd half but he toughed it out for another 25mins.

I said during the week we would need field position as most of our points this season were from within the opposition 20. The Broncos were more likely to score from long range.

In the first half if we got down their end we managed to create points. They were tearing us to shreds as well at points.

The second half we just didn't get the quality field position.

Yeah there was a rumour floating about on this forum earlier this season saying his knees are farked and this was gonna be his last year.

Not that fussed about next weeks result, but I do like the effort Arthars put in for us in difficult circumstances last year so hope he has a great game.

 

[Buzz Killington]

It’s been great to be looking forward to each game again! The team won back the love of their supporters!

Highlight of the game for me was seeing Walker tackle Walsh! Slammed him good!

Some thoughts from the game.

Caveat. Love the team and am stoked we got 3rd. We overachieved massively this season.

This is harsh, time to improve things, type comment.

1. We weren’t really in that game after the Broncs first try. All the dominance was the Broncs. We’d try and pull momentum back

2. We are too slow right across the park. It’s obvious on every break.

3. We are too old; all our vets were ragged by half times. Tohu spent half the game on his haunches or struggling to get back to the defensive line.

4. Haas absolutely owned AFB.

5. SJ tried to carry the team but we had no 13 and no 6.

6. Webby struggles to beat top teams. There’s no variation for teams that are better than us. Getting beaten in the offload count in both the Penrith and Broncs games is not a good sign.

Do you reckon the time slot in Nz time meant our older guys were ready for bed?
The weather was kind to us after thursdays 35 degree day
Yeah Haas and Flegler owned us

We showed ourselves as flat track bullys. And hey that’s better than 15th! But yeah we need to find a way to vary our game as it’s too easy for good teams to pick uS apart. Offloads and sniping around the ruck. When we kick chase well and get dominant in the tackle we can beat anyone but very vulnerable at other times. It’s not just webby I’m stoked with. It’s Stacey unlocking SJ, Richard Agar with the attack and also our Reserve Grade team. The whole club can be proud of this year. What a turnaround from those dark days of Covid where some people were saying we should just throw in the towel. Awesome

 

[Ever Hopeful]

I guess we should have let the Dolphins waste half their cap on Reece Walsh after all

No.

Younger bodies recover faster. Both in game, in season and cumulative.

NRL = ILLUMINATI

And so it begins, Mad Monday and the inevitable descent down the rabbit hole in the off-season, see you down there bro.

 

[The Shah of Iran]

First time I'm not upset after a game. I mouthed off in the game day thread but I treat it like a seat in the stands at Carlaw park after an afternoon at the Strand pub loading up.

I had a little rant meself in the gameday thread, was partly the vodka talking but yeah nothing but pride in the entire club. We're looking at sustained success, and it feels good

The 10pm kickoff needs to be looked at. We need the kids watching the game if we want to challenge union and get a second team. Just need to consistently make the finals. The Newcastle game was phenomenal and the nrl should be taking notice

 

[Roons75]

We need speed next year. Pompey, Montoya and Ford, thank you for your services if we are fair dinkum

Agree except keep Ford for depth.

 

[Ryno 2.0]

A couple of thoughts.

The gap between Johnson and the next 7 is massive. Hence the reason why I think our GF window is small.

Jazz played like an individual tonight, super disappointed in him to be honest

On goal kicking who is the next in line after SJ and Pompey? RTS is supposed to take Pompeys spot right?

I’m super hopeful Sifakula and Zyon Maiu’u can be the dynamic forward and impact that we need to change games.

Ahh man still gutted…….

Yeah I’m not down at all. In fact I went into this week happy win or lose.

I really think the finals have shown what the difference is at the top 2 teams.

I would love to see more youth in the 17 next year.

[KPWarrior]

This could be one of the best GFs we've seen in a while

 

[tyrael]

Webby got asked if bunker should rule on obvious things like the forward pass. He said he didn't want to talk about it.

 

[CWC]

This could be one of the best GFs we've seen in a while

Panthers 30:0 with their defense

 

[Noitall]

This could be one of the best GFs we've seen in a while

Reckon panthers will smash them.
