Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2979591, member: 1899"] Did anyone else watch the Hastings Deering Colts Grand Final? Stream For Those Who Are Interested: [URL]https://www.qrl.com.au/news/20182/09/23/grand-final-livestreams/[/URL] Broncos: #3 (Brock Diment), #5 (Jack Paterson), #6 (Gerome Burns), #7 (Cory Paix), #8 (Ethan Bullemor), #9 (Kobe Hetherington) and #12 (Jordan Riki) in action. Tell me if I'm missing anyone. My take on the game is that nobody could have dreamed of a perfect start for Norths. The Blackhawks were guilty of cheap turn-overs which gave the Devils prime field position and they made the most of it. Most of the Norths tries were fairly simple with the exception of Horne's which came off the back of a superb offload from Knights recruit Watene. The Blackhawks eventually worked their way into the contest, but the Devils defence in the second half proved too strong. That fringe of Riki, Paix, Diment & Easthope read everything and the scramble was second to none. Eventually the Devils got an opportunity late in the second half and they didn't make any mistakes. Of the lot, Hetherington was the stand-out of the Broncos contingent. The Devils largely played through the Blackhawks and it was Kobe's service and ability to call the spots that gave Norths the early ascendancy. I'm not sure if he'll remain at the club, but Burns did some good things. His short kicking game was effective and while his long distance kicking game mostly left a lot to be desired, it was his 40/20 attempt that swung the game late in the 2nd half. Finally, is Bullemor made out of rubber? The defence struggled to get a hold of him and he kept bouncing out of tackles. Defensively he could tighten things, but with the football he's good old fashioned prop. The only disappointment was Paix. I've always been under the impression he's a game manager who leads the team around and moves the ball into places on the field he wants to attack from. I certainly saw glimpses of him handling the football, but he went missing and took poor options. I was concerned earlier in the year when he was selected at #9 for Queensland, I'm even more concerned now after watching this. [/QUOTE]
