Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 3475421, member: 8274"] *Sigh*, alright, I've cooled my jets enough to post. First of all, very happy with our defence. The Cows had a mountain of possession on our line with no small amount of help from the refs and could only manage 18 points. We stuck solid and barely dropped our heads, especially with all the pressure being applied. Staggs remains our biggest weakness on the line. He just cannot close gaps on his outside to save his life. That with his quiet performance in attack and he's proving to be a massive disappointment. Mozer only played very limited minutes but I was impressed with what we saw. His passing was crisp, he took the line on with no fear and we were certainly not weaker for having him on the field. He really can't develop fast enough because our other hooker options are mediocre at best. Paix was definitely better than Walters, but that isn't saying much, and he has a tendency to get ragdolled by the defence when he takes runs from dummy half. It happened a couple of times tonight and it brought the flow of our sets to a sudden stop. Cobbo was [I]okay[/I] at fullback, but he is clearly the inferior choice to Walsh. I hope he can see that himself but lets face it, he's too thick for that. We can only hope he stays content on the wing because otherwise, the door is over there. Same story for Staggs. We're way too flush with quality backliners now to be tolerating shit performances every week. Mariner, Arthars, Sailor and Pereira are all begging for a spot. Our starting props were predictably amazing. Carrigan is on track to be an all timer, at least as far as the Broncos are concerned, and say what you want about Haas, he remains a metre eating machine in the front row. As long as both of them stay healthy, we won't have to worry about field position at the very least. Madden put in a solid showing, he's going to be a decent foil for Reyno, but footy gods willing the skipper stays somewhat fit, because we need him out there. Scoring tries from kicks is not going to be enough to be competitive. We need structure and leadership, and that's what he provides. Mam had some poor moments, especially in defence but he is still young and is still maturing. Given enough time, he could be a star 6 and the perfect partner for Reyno in his twilight years. It would also be nice to have a partner ready made for when Walsh inevitably gets moved to the halves. Finally, the officiating. Something really smells about the way we're being treated on field. There is NO CHANCE the Cows were so much more disciplined than us to justify the difference in penalties and 6 agains. They were sleeping on us in the ruck all night and ginger ale said and did absolutely nothing about it. It's beyond the pale, and it's way past time Kev (or Ikin or Donuts or SOMEBODY with authority) took some of that rage we saw in the sheds at the back end of last year and directed it at the NRL. Robinson or Stuart would have nuked the stadium from orbit if they were in the Broncos box tonight. [/QUOTE]
