Message: [QUOTE="Jeba, post: 2236204, member: 1827"] Ridiculously long game thread so gonna post without reading [icon_lol1. Sorry if I am repeating anyone. Overall, that was a fantastic game of Rugby League. Usually I like the tough defensive games that end in scores like 12-10, but those at the game were treated to a great night's entertainment last night. Yes, the Broncos could've played better in the second half, but they did the job they went there to do. It was just awesome to get the win last night and walk away from Skilled Park with heads held high. Titans fans annoy the shit out of me. A big BIG round of applause to the Broncos fans that made the trip down the M1. The atmosphere in the southern stand was Origin-like, especially for the Folau and Taylor intercept tries. [eusa_clap.gi [eusa_clap.gi [eusa_clap.gi On to the game, and I am sure plenty have already mentioned Hodges's performance. He was sensational. I hope those who argued with me now know what I mean when I talked up Hodges's influence on a game being on par with Inglis. I've seen a few people bagging Wallace and I have to say those are on drugs. His kicking game last night was near perfect and defensively very solid. Made a couple of mistakes but overall a great game from Wallace. I thought Sims was the pick of the forwards just in front of Thaiday. I was critical of not starting Joel Clinton but I think the balance we have in the forwards at the moment is perfect. I disagree with those who think Taylor should play off the bench. Getting domination in the forwards right from kick off is so important, especially in finals games. I also called for Carroll to be dropped to make way for Clinton (when Teo wasn't injured) but I was wrong there as well. One thing I am not really keen on is Glenn playing at hooker to give McCullough a rest. McCullough has proven that he can now go 80 minutes and do it effectively and still playing like it's only the 20th or 30th minute, and Glenn is much more effective coming on as a backrower. Anyway, didn't really matter much last night and I am happy for Ivan to prove me wrong again [icon_lol1. As a team, I thought one area where we improved massively in was stopping the offloads. Watching the replay I noticed the commentators saying that by the 70th minute the Titans had only thrown 3 offloads. That is much better from us to stop that [eusa_clap.gi Was also impressed with Setu's second man play. As for the Walker-Lockyer incident, yes Lockyer did a Louganis but it was a late hit by Walker and such a stupid thing to do so penalty justified IMO. Overall just happy to be through to next week and whoever we play I will be confident we can come through again. [/QUOTE]
