LIVE GAME NRL Rd 10 Magic Round. *Spoilers..

Live Game Discussion
I said last week we did very well to only get beat by 14 points to the Silvertails...everybody bagged me because the Manly side had so many out...and we played them with 12 men for 10mins...
they go up there tonight with a solid team and get absolutely flogged by a very good Broncos side...
That tells me that we did exceptionally well with a make up side playing on their home ground....
The WTs side will be a very good side once at full strength....we have copped a flogging with injuries and makeshift sides for weeks and still arent at the bottom of the ladder...
beware the waking TIGER we are about to unleash...
People have to stop getting emotional about results and start watching what is about to be built in regard to a stable consistent team week to week and a squad ready to back up and not what and how we get beat with the depth we are fielding..\
I expect a very good showing against the Cows and yet the season is at a point where what we expected from some teams are not what they seem eg.Raiders Roosters ...keep your chins up the WTs will come home in a flurry ....

And your point...we played them with a makeshift side,2 good players were lost with hia early.the team had to be shuffled around...they did well and all you can do is bag them because the result didnt suit you...how about giving credit to them for putting in for 80 mins and dealing with the cards they were given unexpectedly....wake up and understand the game and what happens when sudden changes occur from the weeks training,gameplans and structures they trained for suddenly changed ....its not as easy as you think...

Are you a conspiracy theorist?

Well said mate. Combinations that change week in week out is difficult to get cohesion.
They do train for sudden reshuffles, but to have the team reshuffled a few minutes into the game is harder.

I thought and said numerous times in our game v Manly that they had dreadful defence. They did not committ to the tackle and it is the reason we got so close to them. They haven’t addressed this and a 38 blot flogging is the result. If we had more finishing class in our backline we would have beaten them as well.
 
Such a shame Paps is out tonight.
Channel Neil is marketing it as “the best game this year”.
That will be untrue due to the weakening of the Melbourne attack.

I don't quite understand your point.

We lost to Manly and Manly got smashed by the guys who almost got the spoon last year. Broncos are a different team but if anything it just shows that Broncos are another team that have gone past us due to shrewd recruitment.

There are definitely some positive things this year and we have improved but Broncs are just another team that has improved more than us.

The comp is moving past us very quickly.
 
The Bronco's had the talent last year and have been under performing - it's no wonder that Walters was quickly losing support. Reynolds has been a revelation but he has plenty to work with. Nothing like where we are.

Agreed. They have some great young players.
Reno has supplied the missing link for them.
Theyll be formidable next year.

My point is basically if we didnt lose Ken M and Michaeli or had so many on the sideline we still would have beaten Manly, as it was we lost by 14 pts with a skinny NRL side missing key players and 1 key player in the bin for 10...Manly went to Bris with a solid team and got a hiding by a very capable side...the comp is chopping and changing bar Penrith and Storm...
Our team isnt as poor as some commentators and other teams fans think....
