Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2736761, member: 1899"] I would have liked to have finished with a try. Maxwell made the right call just letting time expire, the contest was over and both teams were just overly frustrated but gee I wish the Broncos had have done something with that extra minute just to drive the point home. On first viewing it's fair to say that it was an inconsistent performance. The points and line-breaks came too easily at times and I think the boys clocked off a little. What I liked is that whenever the Broncos were in trouble, they'd go for the bomb, get a good chase and put the pressure back on the Titans. That's what I want to see more of. Against Penrith, when they were in a similar position they thought they could just arse around and go for chip kicks but they got it right here. In fairness too, it wasn't just bombs for the sake of bombs either. Penrith were onto that as well and made the boys pay, this time they aimed them properly and the Titans were caught out by the intensity of the Broncos line. The attack was sloppy. I actually think the Broncos look their best when McCullough is leading the boys through the middle, supporting his forwards for offloads before going out-wide. When they went away from that formula and just tried to give it to Hunt or Milford off the ruck, the play looked disjointed. I really think it's up to players like McCullough, Parker, McGuire and Blair to spark something and for the halves to play off of it. Finally, credit to James Roberts. He got the monkey off the back with a trademark try, battled on through a painful injury and when the team needed it he bought the team a penalty. I'm still not use to life without Hodges, anytime I see 4 I still think of him and he would have been proud of the way Roberts earned that penalty. Straight out of dummy half, looking for a quick play the ball, just like Justin would. [/QUOTE]
