A really brutal game I thought, in many ways.
My thoughts on the game:
- Broncs were the better side BUT I don’t think by much, certainly not 16pts. They just executed better than us when they had their opportunities. We missed a couple of key opportunities to keep it close.
- Our handling in the first half was what hurt us I thought.
- Gee was pretty poor today. Thought that first Broncs try was forward. Definitely left the hands before the line and caught a metre after it.
- There was sting in both sides defence. This was 2 top class sides going for it.
- Just really feel for
Metcalf and hope it isn’t as bad as first thought. If it is, it could have a huge bearing on how we go at the back end of this season. I’m still scarred by the 2015 season when Johnson broke his leg and we went 0-8 to round out the year.
-
Barnett loss is being felt up front now. Just aren’t getting those metres that we need and really bullying the middle.
- Look, I’d take
TT over
Kosi but some of the vitriol on here for him is over the top. You couldn’t blame the first try on him jamming, that’s a ploy we have been running with and is dependent on the inside man. Yes he dropped it with the line wide open, but the pass was quite put in front (but do agree a good winger gets those 9/10 times), and the other knock on when it was on the ground was just unlucky I thought as it’s difficult when it’s pinging around like that. Just some context imo, not great I know, but doesn’t deserve lynching.
Edit: I had however forgotten the other missed opportunity where big Ed got bundled out in the first half from a great tackle…yep, should’ve got that one but
TT or Dal I doubt would’ve scored. Just thought he didn’t use the bigger body to his advantage
