Trial game v Eels

[Eric]

I didn't see the game but I saw the score. What was the problem with the Broncos?

Brisbane scored two late tries after it seemed Gold Coast put the cue in the rack. Even before that, when they got out to a big lead, they seemed to be having a bit of fun with low % plays while it seemed Broncos were going full out. Gold Coast young guys were also very impressive. As I stated previously, Gold Coast left all their big guns out. I don't follow what's going on with the Broncos but as far as I know, Haas and Reynolds were the only top players they left out. And Reynolds is overrated.

Broncos are no longer a perennial powerhouse. Obvioulsy not now but I think never again.

 

[GCRV]

This is going to be good.

 

[Chris M]

Ramsey has gotten much bigger.

 

[Chris M]

Molo! Very lazy defence. Expect him to get a rocket at training next week.

That was ridiculous!

 

[Eric]

Faamausili has been far better than Molo.
Poor non attempted tackle from McCullough. If he isn't making a lot of tackles for very few misses, he's not NRL standard.

 

[Chris M]

That's it for one Parramatta winger for the year.

That is just very poor defence. I have no idea why 2 props are standing next to each other for the ball back inside

 

[jodragon40]

Maybe we have been working on our attack?

 

[GCRV]

FFS! Need to get the ball.

 

[Eric]

Maybe we have been working on our attack?

Must have been because definitely haven't been working on defence.

 

[Eric]

So far it's been underwhelming. Molo in particular has been bad. Not because of dropping the ball but because he didn't dent the line in attack and was lazy in defence.

Amone has also been disappointing but can't be too critical as they have hardly had any ball.

Once again, the forwards are poor. Getting dominated.

 

[Chris M]

Both our centres have been a handful.

Now the ball possession has evened up I like the look of the 2 ex Manly players Suli and Goliewski. Suli is a monster and he and Rav will be bringing the ball back from kicks downfall. For some reason Mcguire is playing 5/8

 

[Eric]

Goliewski was our best forward by some distance when he was on.
Jayden Hunt has also made an impression in defence and attack. Molo was very poor while he was on.

I was wondering about McGuire. I presume the coach wants Amone to take more control so took Mbye off. Makes sense. He (Amone) has been getting better as the game has progressed.

Agree and very odd

Impressed with Molo little brother and the little fijian winger .I have very little doubt we now have sufficient fire-power to score more tries this season. Will be an interesting charity shield match next week
