Game Day: Manly V Broncos [Round 11, 2024]

[Hertera]

Jake cannot be soo this season he looks shot sure he can make 50 tackles a game but he is a liability in attack he offers no threat.
His hit ups are woods like no venom at all sad to see.

 

[DanielTurbo888]

The points will come if we keep up this strong defence. Once we break the seal and get our first I think we can still get a few tonight.

 

[HoldenV8]

Turbo is so involved in attack and that puts the defense off. He might not be as strong or fast as he was in '21 but his involvement and positioning is hard to replace.

Exactly what I was saying earlier in the week when people were putting their 2 cents worth in about moving Tom to centre because his legs are done and we need Koula back there.

When it comes down to it, all Koula really offers as a fullback over Turbo is his speed and maybe putting his body on the line in defence, something Tom seems reluctant to do with his dual pec injuries. In every other facet of fullback play, Turbo has it all over him, bad hammies or not.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Talau has been our best player and has looked threatening with ball in hand.

Looks more threatening at centre than Garrick

 

[Damien2812]

Especially on the 4th

Same sh$t, different year. We have had 3 different coaches and it's the same crap over and over again.

 

[Dion Johnson]

Very true. He doesn't add much in attack but probably the best defending 13 in the competition.

He has looked good the last few weeks, though he needs to have a spell that’s when he is more effective, otherwise he is an 80 minute grinder on low speed.

 

[JBW]

I think this game is Koulas for the taking, he needs to get in the ruck and take on the big guys with his pace. He's purely playing three off the ruck so far.

We've been ok, but I just feel with one more Broncos try the flood gates might open. Must score first here, but I'm just not sure where we cross the line. Reuben refuses to pass, so Ray has no chance and Paulo is too slow to keep up.

Jake cannot be soo this season he looks shot sure he can make 50 tackles a game but he is a liability in attack he offers no threat.
His hit ups are woods like no venom at all sad to see.

And the 6 agains he gives away is really hurting, not just this game.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Talau has been our best player and has looked threatening with ball in hand.

Yep. Outside that errant no look pass, he has been running strong. He’s the only player who seems to have gotten off the bus and ready to play. The rest of them look a bit star-struck.

 

[bob dylan]

Every time I watch the Broncos, i'm surprised at how good carrigans is. I must have a goldfish memory.

Same with yeo when I watch the panthers.

Both great players indeed.

I'll add Cam Murray.

 

[Under the Sticks]

Matt Plodge.

He’s playing better than Brown. Makes me long for Lewis!

 

[Damien2812]

He has looked good the last few weeks, though he needs to have a spell that’s when he is more effective, otherwise he is an 80 minute grinder on low speed.

He should be playing prop in my opinion.

 

[HK_Eagle]

Because he’s STANDING FUKEN STILL that’s why. Maybe if he ****en ran onto rhe ball he’d actually do something.

Don’t go changing, Haumole.

 

[eaglebuzz]

Talau, Ray Ray and Waddell are really having a dig tonight

Aside from his no look pass to the touchie's feet I think Talau has been our best so far.

 

[Eagle 1]

Jake adds nothing but stifles the attack and is slow for today's game. Just look at Carrigan and compare that to our 13.

Yeah, his hit ups are ineffectual, just a wasted tackle tbh

 

[mickqld]

Pedestrian attack. Halves with 530 games between them and they're clueless how to create opportunities. We won't score a point in this game. No Turbo no hope. We've become an also ran club full of mediocrity.

 

[Rafferty]

We’re still a chance.

 

[Dion Johnson]

The sin bin didn’t help, the first try was horrible defence, it’s the same each week though with the right edge, coaches hoping Garrick can read the opposition attack ain’t going to happen.

Next 40 hopefully they win the middle and can get points.

 

[Damien2812]

Yep. Outside that errant no look pass, he has been running strong. He’s the only player who seems to have gotten off the bus and ready to play. The rest of them look a bit star-struck.

If the team is so star struck playing at Suncorp every season, it's time to move the game back home.

 

[Hertera]

The reason the attack stinks in the Brisbane red zone is because the backline is completely new, with the exception of Garrick and we’ve got two NSW Cup hookers distributing around the ruck. Clunky.

Sick of the excuses they have new half, new hooker, new fullback also they have not got out of 1st gear and lead 12 nil.

Time for excuses over
