Poor ball control, poor finishing to sets. If Broncs could attack our line effectively we would have near lost this.

There's always one.

Coming of a heavy loss and 15 years of crap would have been easy enough for us to fall to peices again, appreciate what we have.
 
The most underrated part of Bennett’s masterpiece of a mess he left behind at the Broncos May just be re-signing Milford for close to a million bucks too.
 
Great win. Broncos ill-discipline was probably their own worst enemy tonight but we got in control and stayed in control.

There's been some errors creeping into our game the last couple weeks, hope it's addressed during the week as Manly will not roll over as easily as the Broncos.

Can't see Shibasaki being swapped out for Tuala after that performance.

Good win, gave it to the Broncos pack, now time to enjoy a 9 day turnaround!

EDIT: Thought we had Manly next week not the Cowgirls, Knights by 90 @cowboyman

The good thing was that we won at half pace really.
A 10 day turnaround should mean the boys get 3 or 4 days off and come back fresh and ready.
Barnett back as well.
We have had a tough month or so and come out of it pretty good I think.

2160 run metres vs. 1507 for Broncs. I hope Tuala comes back in for Shibs. Shibs was good defensively but didn't offer much with the ball.

Wasn’t the type of game where outside backs shine to be fair. Slippery and dominated by the middle forwards
 
We weren’t playing a good team because we were better, can only play as well as the opposition allows, my theory Pearce was a bit off which meant Mann was a bit on, DanS was on which meant Klemmer was a bit off and Ponga was a bit so so, overall it’s the two points that count and I believe we outplayed then across the park and we did it without Ponga, Pearce or Klemmer being the stars, looking good for future.
Not sure we are using Hoy to his or teams advantage, liked what I saw from 2-5, 6, the pack DanS JSaf, Ese’ese, Glasby all went well, Mccoullough was ok. Fitz looked short of a run and Guerra cant wait for Barnett to come back

We're heading for a touch up against Manly if we can't address these points.

Pack was outstanding, especially dsaf . Klem seemed very quiet, maybe that shoulder charge early brained him.

That ball must have been very slippery. A few dijjointed plays, but when you have a greasey ball you tend to be a bit more cautious in your plays.
 
McCullough had his worst game for us.
I can't decide if he was trying too hard, didn't feel right playing against his friends, or was showing the strain of all the work we've had him doing.
He wasn't bad, but he was not as good as the previous 2 weeks.
