Message: [QUOTE="Number6, post: 2948423, member: 9008"] Typical Broncos performance. Storm give free opportunities then can’t close a game. 1. Boyd. 2. Good try (hole was size of Texas but got it done). Another good ball. 3 of storm tries were directly linked to his deficiencies. That missed tackle on Munster was pathetic yes offa was poor but that grab was cause for firing. Niko leaving hole cause Boyd never at back, and strolled to get that ball he was pushed out on (had no problem with Storm effort if it is consistently applied but as we saw 2 sets of rules). Absent second half and another lesson in captaincy by Smith. When refs are talking to Lodge and McGuire at tryline why wasn’t Boyd putting ref in his place - it was inappropriate for ref to not have captain involved. 2. Oates 3. Disappointing game. Rocks and diamonds but not good enough. Lacked punch in attack and outleaped. 3. Opaic. 2. Not demonstrating first grade standard. 4. Kahu. 4. Not a centre. Good meters and a try but lacks threat and still waiting for next injury. 5. Isaako. 4. Amazing run then bombed it. Needs intensive training on defensive positioning on the wing. 6. Milford. 4. Good assist to try assist. But what a waste. Looked half the speed of previous. Looked gassed despite barely playing origin. 7. KNik 1. Throw a number 7 jersey on a random QCup player and will likely do better. No runs, no organising, barely kicked, turnstile in defence. 8. Lodge. 7. Another solid effort. 9. Macca. 4. Would understand him being flat after debut but honestly what is the difference. Tries hard in defence again. 10. Thaiday 6. Best game all year. First half had moments of 5 years ago then went absent again. 11. Glenn. 3. Needed another week off. Flat, slow, and largely ineffective. 12. Sua 5. On and off but give him a year or two and will be amazing. 13. McGuire. 5. Understandably flat then misused as hooker late in the game when barely had energy to bend down to get ball. If he plays at all he shouldn’t start after coming back from injury and origin at once. Terrible coaching. 14. Mago N/A. Didn’t have an opportunity and didn’t feel I saw enough to rate. Why not play a spare hooker. 15. Offa. 6. Would have been 8 if not for laziness on Munster try. Needs to start. 16. TPJ 7. Big meters. Tried too hard - need to start him to prevent that nervous energy especially after a 2 week rest. Guy just wants to hit everything on the field -let him FFS. 17. Staggs. 6. Looked ok but again not enough opportunity. Why not just start him a centre since coach obviously doesn’t rate Opaic and need a partner for Roberts longer term. Coaching. Another poor display. Not sure where the week goes cause obviously it’s not spent in tactics, defence, fitness or kicking. Suspect 70% is telling Milf not to play his natural game, 20% rubbing Boyd’s bad hamstrings and other 9.99% at team meetings in the nearest Maccas talking about the right way take one up runs. 0.01% is planning not the use the bench for tired players but Bennett’s largely got that one sorted. Fortunately the traditional pre game running over Cummins cat is done outside training hours by our dedicated leadership group. Reffing. Appreciate the effort to level the Charlie count at 79.59 minutes. [/QUOTE]
