Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3150937, member: 9853"] [COLOR=rgb(255, 255, 255)][I][B]Braith Anasta [/B]says:[/I] "If you look at the Broncos, they’re 16th in the competition for defence, which they are, and they average over 30 points per game this season against, it’s just nowhere near the mark. The first half looked really promising, and they’ve just thrown the towel in. The lack of resilience in this second half, that’s what hurts. [I][B]Greg Alexander[/B] says [B]Pies[/B] has to "support his players or it might go from bad to worse:"[/I] “[B]Brisbane are one of the easy beats of the competition[/B]. That’s been proven over the past eight weeks. They’re down there with the Titans and the Warriors and Bulldogs – Brisbane are in that mix this season, which is hard to take for Brisbane, but that is the reality of it. You couldn’t question the first half, it was great, it was their best half of the year. Their cohesion and balance in the spine looked really good. Just some soft tries late in this game has dampened that.” “If you‘re ([B]Milford[/B]) the highest paid player in the club, I want to see you put an effort in, he’s just not having a dig.” [B][I]Alexander [/I][/B][I]called for more changes, namely [B]Farnworth[/B] in for [B]Milford,[/B] who put in a performance [B]Corey Parker [/B]called “non-existent." Parker praised some players including [B]Pat Carrigan[/B] and [B]Payne Haas [/B]but said the overall performance was “just not good enough,” and that past Broncos teams did not celebrate small wins:[/I] “Whether they‘re available or not, if you continue to roll out the same people and you get the same result, at some stage it’s going to wear you down. At some stage it’s just got to wear you down where you have to come up with something different. Some of the performances that we‘ve seen in Broncos jerseys in the past six to eight weeks haven’t been acceptable. Everyone‘s sitting at home and going the performance of the Broncos in the first half was great, and it was, they were there about, but it’s 46-8 the final score, that’s unacceptable.” [I][B]Brad Fittler [/B]said the team must be training wrong:[/I] “They are trying hard, but you‘ve got to try together, it’s a team sport. Surely during the week they’ve got to find ways to practice working together and doing that under pressure. They don’t seem to be able to do anything under pressure. [B]Milford[/B] did just not get involved in the game.” [I][B]Paul Gallen[/B] said fullbacks have to play both sides of the field and organise the defensive line:[/I] “They‘ve had another 40 points put on them tonight, so something’s not going right. Unfortunately for the Broncos, it looks like another tough week of criticism is coming their way." [I]Incoming coach Kevin Walters said you “can‘t make change for the sake of change" and scratched his head when it came to alternatives.[/I] McHunt[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
