Not too sure about what to make of it all. In the first half, Brisbane didn’t turn up to play. They were soft as marshmallows. I also wonder what might have transpired if Corey Oates wasn’t a complete Gumby (lol at the pro Broncos commentators saying Oates is the master of the put down, bollocks skippy, that award goes to
David Fusitua). I felt we should have been up by 30 at half time, it seemed every time we went direct through the middle they were opening up like a young Jenna Jameson. We lacked a little composure and bollocked a few tries out there.
Second half I thought we were a lot better. More direct.
The Satae incident. Ridiculous. In the next Broncos set
Shaun Johnson copped a raised forearm. Nothing happened. That would happen 20 times a match. He was bracing himself for the collision. Not lashing out with it. McFuckstick should have been ordered off. Where the hell was the consistency there given the Curtis Snot incident? If McFuckstick doesn’t throw girly haymakers like a wet blouse, Satae doesn’t get sin binned. So he got sin binned for standing there like a man copping bitch slaps like he didn’t feel it. He might as well have upper cut McFuckstick in his mong jaw since it was preordained that he was going to the bin.
The Luke try straight after that was a thing of beauty. It was as good as when he smacked the shit eating grin off Will Smith’s face with his try at Parramatta.
I thought our backs were good.
Hiku, Kata,
Roger Tuivasa-Sheck,
Fusitua all ran the ball well.
Beale even looked dangerous. The move of swapping Gerard and Peta was a master stroke. I feel for Peta. He’s not a centres arsehole but he is highly proficient as a winger or fullback.
In the forwards,
Paasi played like a weapon. Mannering had an awesome game.
Jazz was destroying the pony’s right up Main Street. He’s a bloody good talent. I think when he’s tasked with being the primary metre eater he lacks size. But when he plays off the back of that his offload and footwork late at the line is great. His cover defence was excellent too.
Issac. Too good for them through the middle. He probably over played his hand with his first break, he just needed to position Satae slightly better.
Joe Vuna made some excellent last ditch tackles in his short stint. Papalii was immense. He is developing at an outstanding rate.
Just not sure what to make of it. You can only play what’s in front of you but Brisbane were absolutely gutter trash dreadful. Very very important win so am a very happy camper.
