I actually find him rather pro-Tigers, considering how bad we've been the past 10 years. He used to live near LO, said he has a huge soft spot for Tigers footy at LO.

Agree but we did get 2 crucial forward pass calls which IMO were not super blatant forward passes.

Complete over-reaction. Not "terrible" by any measurement. Firstly Broncos didn't loose their FB they lost a prop. Secondly, Broncos have only had "40 put on them" once since the start of season 2025. They aren't that kind of defensive unit and it's not based on Walsh and Carrigan being there...

He made 7 tackle breaks and 2 line breaks FYI last week, equal first of any player on the field for either stat. I agree I'd like more go-forward in theory but he also made 236m. >200m, 7 TB, 2 LB, 3 offloads, 34 tackles, 1 missed, 1 error: that's a pretty massive game from a prop. Held up...

I agree with most of this, but also to note that Madden wasn't playing the Broncos, he was playing Warriors, Eels and Knights. Tigers forwards definitely provided the platform again vs Broncos; I think we had the Broncos forwards well covered all night both in defence and go-forward. But...

Not sure also why nobody thought to pressure Reynolds when he was caught with it on 5, in front of the posts, with 10 to go. Definitely Reynolds didn't plan to take the shot - they hadn't set up for it, but it wasn't a great set for the Broncos and he is such a quick thinker that he went for...

We are too sideways at the line, it's that simple. Go back to the glory days of Tigers attack 2010-11, the key factor was Lui would straighten, could cop a tackle and wasn't afraid to throw a pass. Benji could often crab and throw cut-outs to the crowd, but he was so renowned for his attack...

The issue is however where do you put Doueihi? Benji said he's trained with him at halves all pre-season. Sure you can do what you want but they say Doueihi was training there all offseason and they've since re-signed him. I personally think Doueihi should currently still stick it out at...

Definitely Broncos hurt for that one. I was on the sideline and Jesse Arthars, give him credit, he spent half the match limping because they ironed him out EVERY time he touched the ball. They were also hammering Riki and Piakura, who were pretty quiet, and swarming on Haas so he couldn't get...

Very prophetic; unfortunately it was double knock-ons.

Yeah beat Broncs in 2020 and 2016. But otherwise we have a worse all-time record against Broncos than any other team - only beaten then 9 times since 2000.

Sorry but you can't win 4 premierships in a row, make another GF, and be "protected". Luai was great in the Panthers set up. He is less effective without that Panthers general capability around him. BUT, and it's a big BUT, sometimes you need that circuit breaker player to come to your team...

You might be right, I am not entirely sure.

That's actually not true. Being within 1 point of the Broncos, close to winning for most of the game, already is on the path to contender status. But the real trick is being able to do it every week, not just 1 month. If we fight every team as hard as we fight the Broncos tonight, we play...

I don't know if people noticed, we almost scored 3 or 4 times at the back end of the match, it's not as if we went nowhere near scoring.

I agree that Madden/Doueihi were doing a better job of straightening the attack recently, however you can't go overboard and predict Tigers get a 12-pt lead just because they've had a few good matches. There's just nothing to support that. Firstly Broncos have premiership-quality defence...

100% It's like some folks read the newspaper and think Broncos without Walsh are no good. I know Carrigan was out too, but people are extending it to Cory Paix, as if he makes a difference. Haas was quiet before he got hurt, but we had the forwards covered all game. The 1-point difference was...

Weird he called some 12 6-agains in the first 20 minutes then parked his whistle second half, except to penalise Api for no valid reason.

Silly comments, it was a fairly high strength Broncos side and Broncos are the reigning premiers. Or put it another way: how many current State of Origin players in the Tigers team tonight, and how many in Broncos? I'll give you a guess: it's zero for Tigers and considerably more than zero for...
