What's he chugging down there, bronco tears?
My mates always give a bit of grief when I confess to being a covert tofu eater
Nothing wrong with a bit of tofu, especially when it's cooked with beef! Soaks up all the flavour.

Does he drink with his ears?
Tohu came on shortly after Walker made an error. Walker went hard and was great but the error showed he was tiring so Tohu is put on to be a tacklebot and help hold the line in defence and try to keep our lead. He wasn't the only interchange at that point either. Someone made the effort to say they scored a try against us while he was on (no mention of any of the other interchanged players lol) but that try was not down the middle, were any? Walker was able to then come back refreshed as was AFB etc.Walker is a gun at playing Tohu’s position for 25-minute spells, semantics lol
And ya I don’t get why we need Tofu for 20 minute a game off the bench when we have Ale and Afoa, seems more politics than actual gameplay, trying to wean him off till the season’s end and retire. And Ford’s Webby’s pet project not sure if he has the heart to put him to Cup as depth, Capewah’s still an Origin player and should be that workhorse 11 over Ford if you want to maximize his salary
Heck just typing that makes me feel there are a lot of politics going on BTS, no wonder it’s a roller coaster this year
Tohu has been the 80min player for years and its good to see him be used more strategically.
On another post, saw something about slow ptb's. Not saying Tohu isn't slower (mostly due to injury imo) but a forward playing the ball slower is sometimes to reset defensive lines too. When the defence is being hammered those extra few seconds are sometimes deliberate, different if you're on attack and want a quick ball.
Sometimes wonder if we're all watching the same game sometimes but hei aha, each to their own opinion.
Loving the TMM and CHT combo, wonder sometimes if they could unlock their outside backs a little more and on defence out wide, are the edge forwards out there to give an extra man in the line so the wingers & centres can hold their opposites better? Need to have another look.
Re the age thing in our team, there's still quite a few older than ours playing in other teams and the changes in the rules has sped things up so younger players are key but an older head or two with nous & the top 2 ins still have a place.
Lots of improvement to go and hopefully it happens.
Go the Warriors!

Looks like he goes to the Stone Cold Steve Austin school of drinking beers, goes everywhere but his mouth

This is a good post. There’s so much to look at, and what you see I don’t, vice versa. It’s called a blind spot.
Webby has a fucking tough job. Especially as a new coach. No doubt about it. I hope he’s not surrounded by yes men. The only way you find your blind spots is when someone else tells you or challenges you. Makes you think twice. Right now I see some glaring holes in his approach.
The Late Night with Matty Johns segment about the wahs was hella dumb. The highlights showed all the Broncos tries, A few of ours then all our mistakes lol. Typical.
Yes, we can't all see all of it unless you rewatch it a few times. Its good to get the analysis from those that do that cos its their thing. tv only gives you the highlights of scoring and mistakes/ penalties etc.
Watching a game live gives another perspective altogether because you see the whole field whereas tv doesn't.
Having said all that see the attack more - the big runs, the hard hitups, the silky skills and the ultimate, the plays that result in tries - its what its about! Unfortunately a lot of the grunt work, the hard yards, the work of the ball and the 1 percenters escape most of us but without them the rest doesn't happen

I reckon it could be a couple of these...

I expect the coach to make the fucking obvious calls.

On just one performance, Capewell looks way more comfortable on the left and is easily a better 11 than Ford.
You simply cannot have both Tohu and Ford on the bench.
I think start Ford at prop and have AFB or Barnett on the bench.
Otherwise, Ford should be out of the team and Ale onto the bench
