[Tragic]

One more would be nice

This game reeks of square up penalties.

Man dogs imploding, Broncs skill level in the wet is impressive though.
Have the dogs just been playing shit teams so far?

I did see some where they have had a blessed draw, no quick turn arounds, furthest they travelled was Wollongong

That's drinks and the end of the power play.

 

[Warriorshopeful]

Can see why most teams don't go for charge downs anymore, such a risky play if the opposition team get the ball back.

Have a look through their entire draw. It's pretty sweet until the last couple of rounds IMO

this was the dogs first test and they are failing miserably. Just imagine what will happen when they go up to Aami Park. Our 42-14 result isn't going to feel so bad all of a sudden...

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Kind of reminds me of our 2023 semi final. Trying to contain them when they have their backs up.

At least that was in good conditions.

This is in the rain which typically evens things up.

Some great football from the Broncos in the rain.

The dogs would take 42-12 right now. They'll just be glad to not have 50+ put on them.

Glad we didn't get this version of the Broncos last week! Or are we actually good? I can't make heads or tails with teams form this year.

both can be true. Not mutually exclusive.

Gee Haas is a beast. NSW pack looks so formidable that they'll pick Jurbo to give Queensland a bit of a chance.

I wont be…..

Broncos showed pretty good defense at the end of the 2nd half. 34 points is insane, but looking real good to keep them at a goose egg in this rain.

 

[mrblonde]

Boy oh boy do the Bulldogs need it to not rain and to not rain hard.

Did we piss off the Broncos last week and OMFG WE'RE GONNA MAKE THEM DOGGIES FEEL OUR PAIN!!?

Haas was demoted as my Fantasy Captain earlier this evening.

I'm sure that that decision and his performance tonight are not linked. Little shit....

 

[FormerlyJamesW]

The only thing that gets me is that the mutts have played this grubby all season.

Why is this the first game they’re properly getting pulled up on this stuff?

 

[sydneywarrior92]

3 currently in top 8 (Dragons, Sharks, Rabbits), the rest not (Titans, Eels, Knights)

They got all of those top 8 teams at their weakest moments. Not sure they'd beat the dragons now who are playing much better or the sharks again who are currently getting back to their best.

 

[mtsmart]

I think Phil Gould's face has melted a little bit more after this performance.

 

[roguei]

I expect the dogs to win the 2nd half by 2 to 6 points (not the game). Seems to happen every flogging this year. Doesn't mean the broncos can't still point 50 on em.

Reynolds diving lol

How's that not a bin?
