Message: [QUOTE="LittleDavey, post: 3485869, member: 8255"] Watched it again for you. Ugh. Blair misses Thurston. Macca gets pushed off Thurston, Thaiday doesn't have the legs to get to him. Parker finally takes him down as he passes out to Morgan, who did almost exactly what Reece was doing on Friday night. Skipped to the outside of Milf, drew Reed in leaving Oates with a 2 on 1. Boyd was out the back coming across, but not fast enough. Milf didn't look like he was going to get to him so Reed had no choice but to jam in. But Reed was in two minds, Milf was just getting to Morgan so Reed kind of backed off, Morgan and Milf went past and he sort of tried to get in the way of a pass...but the play had gone past him and he was in no man's land. Cowboys centre ran an unders line back towards the post, meanwhile Morgan is still pulling through the Milford tackle and Boyd wasn't there yet - since Reed got himself caught out, Oates came in on Morgan and the rest is history. It was pretty ugly all round, but every single player was out on their feet by that stage so it's hard to blame anyone in particular. The only reason they had the ball in that position in the first place was Milf had made a break up the middle of the field, got the ball off to Hunt who had it stripped by Feldt on halfway with exactly 1 minute remaining. If we hold possession and get to our kick, they would have had another 50m to run and 10 seconds less to do it, so just probably don't get there. Reed did get caught and in hindsight should have belted Morgan - he committed to the tackle but then didn't make it and let them pass by, and watched the pass to Feldt from behind. But - if Boyd was quicker in cover, or Milf was a bit quicker laterally then Oates wouldn't have needed to jam in and had Feldt covered from 10m out. Or if Blair or Macca had've belted Thurston, it was the 5th tackle so that's the game. So many if's, but's, maybe's and a real sliding doors moment IMO for so many careers - particularly the Broncos' young side. [/QUOTE]
