WOW! 

-  Most forwards would be content running 12.8 seconds over the hundred, but that was our first try. 

-  In the first half we had 52% possession and completed 15 from 16 sets (94%) - Excellent.

-  At the end of the game we finished with 53% possession and completed 29 from 33 sets (88%) - Unbelievable for us. 

-  The kicking from our halves was of a very high standard and the short passes and set plays were executed to near perfection.   Moses's goal kicking was great.   

-  The Bush Coach had a master plan specific to the Broncos and the boys executed it in attack.  Defensively we struggled at times, but due to being down on troops it was forgivable.  Go the Bush Coach :)

-  Four (4) special tries to big Semi.  What a loss it will be losing Semi.  We desperately need to get Semi back in May 2018, when the French comp finishes.  

- I said to Pops during the week we needed to win the possession and complete over 80% and we did that.   To complete 29 from 33 sets was our best for the season and shows - Possession is King! 

Go Parra!

  • Frankie, have you changed your mind now about BA :)

  • Semi - 242 metres

    Brown - 186 metres, 29 tackles

  • Well said Dave. Agree with all this. 

    • How good was Semi. 

      Special mention to Brown, Jennings and Edwards.

    • Well said.  

  • Well said.  I didn't think we had a hope in hell winning up their.  The Broncos were shell shocked after the first two tries.  Moses goal kicking was excellent and when you go up by 6 each time it hurts the opposition. 

    I don't know if it is good finishing 4th and playing the Storm in Melbourne or finishing 5th and playing a struggling team as the storm are very physical and will bash us up. 

    If we finished 4th and play the Storm I would be tempted to give French another week off as we will need him 100% fit and firing in the big games. 

    None of Bup's post jump out to me but I pay more attention in the following weeks. 

    The speed and effort was very good tonight.  I'm interested to see if they can lift and thrash Souths or drop off in intensity. 

    • Finishing 3rd is not impossible

      Need Roosters to beat Sharks this week

      Then Cowboys to beat Brisbane next week in Townsville with Parra beating Souths.

      Which would result in a game against the Roosters.
  • It was brilliant and to put things in perspective we have our 3rd string fullback and 3rd string hooker were missing manu mau, beau Scott our captain and lost tepai and Pritchard during the game, had a 10-2 penalty count against us and put 50 on the superstar internationals galore bronco team. The most impressive thing was ba's summary in press conference, he was only happy with the start and basically the first half. Fantastic that's how I want our coach to be, enjoy the points but learn and continually improve. Well done ba and team
    • Well said.  BA is the master of playing down wins, never gets excited, plays down injuries and doesn't give the media much. 

    • I love how you've broken down all our legitimate deficits here! Thank you and well said!
