Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3158115, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I]Specialist team-wrecker, [B]Anthony Sebum[/B], or "Bumsie" as his Paddington Pilates galpals call him, had this to say about his team's 10th loss from 11 starts since the season returned:[/I] “It’s the most [B]resilient [/B]we have been for a while, we turned them away a few times, [B]I felt it was a big step forward.[/B]” “Dave scored a good try and had some strong carries but we have to get field position for guys like him and Tevita (Pangai Jr) to have an impact. David did a really good job across the 80 minutes, he’s only been back training fully in the last two weeks. “We had no set plan to bring him off, we wanted to see how he was travelling but he got through those 80 minutes pretty well.” [/COLOR] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot_2020-07-04 Anthony Seibold - Wikipedia.png"]9219[/ATTACH] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)]“It was really frustrating. [B]I can’t fault the effort[/B] but the difference of the teams was the penalty counts and the end of sets. I never want to talk about the referees. There were a couple of decisions where we were left bewildered, especially with some of the penalties around the escorts, but it’s certainly not why we lost. We’re second last on the ladder and the 50-50 calls don’t go to teams at the bottom end of the ladder." “Payne was outstanding, he is a very consistent guy and he did a hell of a job." [I]The[B] blundering[/B] [B]cheesecake-guzzling fart-factory[/B] refused to be drawn into questions about his antecessor and rival coach Wayne Bennett, but had this to say about his assistants' COVID bans:[/I] “I only heard about it around lunchtime, we were on a 2.30pm flight. I don’t know too many details other than they have been fined. It’s certainly no excuse for our loss.” [I]Meanwhile on Fox League, former Bronco[B] Michael Ennis[/B] was traveling to the beat a different drum:[/I] "Some of the tries they have conceded have been horrible, horrible. Certainly in the last few weeks, there has been a lot more steel and effort in a lot of areas in their game but it just seems like any time the opposition gets down on their line, that they just leak points and they leak points too easily." “Geez that’s an ordinary miss from Jake Turpin and they’re straight through the engine room, straight through Lodge and Haas. Nicholls won’t score an easier try. That’s unbelievable. That was a really simple one.” [I] [B]Greg Alexander [/B]floundered:[/I] “The Brisbane Broncos, I honestly don’t know where they go. David Fifita will be better for the run and you would hope he would involve himself more as the season goes on, but the season is almost done. I thought Brisbane were a chance tonight because the Rabbitohs haven’t been great. I just thought there’s a bit more confidence with some of their key players back on the field, but they’re just not good enough. They’re just not good enough. When it got to 20-10 and Fifita scored, but they don’t know how to take the game to a place where it puts them in striking distance. What that means for Anthony Seibold over the next seven weeks — and the way they’re playing, they may end the season with just one win since the resumption.” [I][B]Braith Anasta[/B] questioned their collective brain function:[/I] “They’re already looking for answers. It’s a lack of mental fortitude and resilience that we saw there with that soft try when Turpin missed. It was ordinary and that really concerns me. It was a soft attempt. This was soft, off a set-piece that close to the line to come up with a try straight through the middle, that’s not a good sign.” [I][B]Rabs[/B] and [B]Gus [/B]spent the evening daisy chaining tut-tuts:[/I] “He‘s pointed to the spot – oh dear that’s soft" “You‘re in the shadows of halftime, eight points down in a game that means a lot to you. The big fella just strolls through the meat of the Broncos forward pack. They‘re just standing around looking at each other, he’s barged through them." “He just took it up for a settler and came up with a four-pointer. There‘s not one player that put his shoulder into his work there.” [I]So how was your Friday night, otherwise, BHQ?[/I] McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
