Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2583823, member: 1899"] Anybody who was there will tell you the same thing. Brandon Motherfucking Lee. Seriously, Brisbane couldn't score a point to save themselves until this guy came on the field. He basically took the ball away from Nikorima, kept playing it through the middle and low and behold the Broncos started playing sharper football. His try to basically give us the lead was pure class and if first grade doesn't have a spot for him in a Nathan Peats type capacity I tell you what, there's something wrong with the game because Lee gets it. Before then, it was one of the most frustrating games you'd ever see. Souths scored early because Kodi grassed a tough-ish bomb in the corner and they simply spread it to Saumamao who had too much foot-work for Taefu. But then it was basically all Brisbane. Jayden put in this clearing kick that was just loaded with trouble, seriously, there was so much back-spin or something on it that it was guaranteed to make a mistake and from there, the half was basically played down Souths end. However, the Broncos looked absolutely clueless. Tackle 1 and 2 would be fine, but they'd go to either Brimson & Nikorima and the play would always be run yourself which didn't work. When the Broncos actually came up with the right play, they'd turn it over. Fortunately, the Broncos middle defence was AWESOME. It seemed like Adams, Barr, Ofahengaue, Duffin would just snap these guys in half and force a mistake. But that cycle basically took us to half-time. Second half we looked better from the start in offence, but a do or die cut-out pass ended up being taken by Young and he basically palmed off Nikorima 3 or so times before scoring. It was pretty dire to watch. Brisbane basically set camp up inside their half but took an age to score. Finally, Kodi just ran it and drew in the winger to put Alick down who was just too strong down the touch line. It was sweet. The second try didn't take much longer, after blasting through the middle, Nikorima found Greinke on the fringe and Brett POWERED his way over for a nice try. Finally there was the run-away Nikorima intercept which looked a little sus, I didn't get clear footage but it appeared Taefu got a touch to it before Kodi ran the length of the field. Eh, doesn't matter, Broncos deserved the win although it was pretty far from convincing. I didn't think much of the backs. Kodi sort of redeemed himself, the rest were pretty average. The forwards basically won them the game. Ofahegaue sort of reminds me of Frei, in that he doesn't necessarily bust the line, but his runs are always strong and he gets through a mountain of work. I like how he takes the tough runs through the middle and doesn't try to be overly fancy. I liked what I saw of Duffin playing the Dallas Johnson role but he only played like 20-25 minutes. Lee was the man, Berrell was good all-round but needed to show a bit more leadership in the ruck, Barr was heavily involved off the bench and quite versatile while I thought Collins had a nice game off the bench. Showed plenty of enthusiasm when he came on and made some tough runs through the middle. Overall, a frustrating game and certainly one that neither half would want to remember but the forwards were sweet. [/QUOTE]
