Interesting interview with TMM.
Talked about how he didn't train for 7 and so Taine and Wade were the drivers behind the game.

Just listened to this, great insight from within the club that confirms what we already know…..cohesion, culture etc and players that have bought into Webbys system, I think TMM even mentioned that the club is in the best shape he’s ever seen?
Marvellous!!
Big take away from me is that foil the boys have for attacking structures.
Seems less complex and less reliant on specific skillsets than previous years.

Yes, it gives credence to the fact that the “next man up” can do a favourable job….its so strange not to be sweating on injuries as much and/or usual starters are playing cup
Wrighty's analysis
3 points this week
1) That was a tough Broncos team and we have lost to them before during origin
2) Adam Pompey was my Man of the Match. If you watch him closely you can't help but admire his defensive awareness. Not his defence as he doesn't do big hits or great spot tackles, but his defensive awareness. He sees the opposition putting on shape and reads it like the seasoned pro he is and he just shuts it down. Even when they number up on his edge and outnumber us by inserting their fullback into the shape he still shuts it down. And he uses depth well where he will retreat behind the line of advantage or collision line. Most centres with less experience will make a stand and attempt to tackle in line with the other defenders. And while this is is excellent for presenting a united defensive line, Pompey uses license to only do this 80% of the time, the other times he will stand back and concede a metre or two in order to better read the shape coming at him. He has become a defensive master mind and with him in the line up I was confident we had the game won when it got to half time.
3) Khan Periera. What a silly play with us up by 20 points getting over enthusiastic and trying to put a big shot on and as a result getting himself sent to the sin bin for 10 minutes. The only answer I can give is that he comes from the Titans. It has probably been a long time since he played in a game where his team was winning comfortably by 20 points before half time and didn't know how to compose himself.
After the match I took great interest in watching a conversation between he and Kurt Capewell where Kurt was explaining something to him and AKP was nodding his head to the lesson. It is great we have leaders in the group who can settle down the inexperienced ones. AKP should be better for this game if he learns from it.

Kurt was probably comforting AKP he was the only warrior who looked sad at the end of the game. Bombed a try too. He’ll be fine, hat trick incoming

I actually loved the play from AKP. I thought he made the correct decision, was aggressive, and went early so that others could slide behind him if necessary. Execution was slightly off but intent was correct

Demitric loves pointing in a pic that’s for sure
It's hilarious that they refuse to acknowledge the advantage of having an 'away' game on their home grounds.
Yeah bro I saw Sam Thaiday and Corey Oates absolutely chatting shit about how the Broncos were reffed out of the game.
Such a load of shit!
But then it got me thinking, happy days actually because if thats the mentality that the actual team have - poor me, the refs were unfair etc - means that they probably won't reflect or improve, if theyre belief is that they were treated unfairly when they played like dog shit.
I remember Webby in the pressers as a new coach, and he refused to blame the refs and continued to speak about how we have to overcome adversity and be better when defending etc. We have very little excuses these days and focus on what we can control. Im sure the Broncos will get there one day
