**Live game thread** Us vs the Broncos

[foreveratiger]

Moses :laughing: :laughing:

Lucky for our halves there playing against a depleted Broncos side .

 

[Tigerdave]

well, we survive the dreaded 5 minutes before half time.

We're running well with the ball, the kicking game only improved in the last 15 minutes. Forwards really on top at this stage.

 

[stryker]

Kicking was putrid but our line speed in defence and acceleration with the ball has been great.

Brooks Moses and Taylor doing everything at speed. There are opportunities everywhere if they make the correct decisions.

 

[Tim Sheens]

A Try before half time would be a Bonus

The biggest bonus was the opposition not scoring for a change

Brooks apart from his kicking game has been good FT

Moses has obviously signed to play for the Broncos in 2018 :laughing:

 

[Tigerdave]

things seemed to be clicking better with Ballin on

Have to agree hopefully we start building pressure and play composed. Fingers crossed.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Obstruction should be overruled as soon as you pull the decoy down. Lovett ran at the wrong shoulder though.

Running game has been near on perfect and completion rate is good. Plenty of bodies in motion, ET has been great to watch. Kicking game has been atrocious though. It would be interesting to see what the score would look like if our kicks are finding the space/men.

Let's see us keep it up in the 2nd half need to put them away

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Joey on the Broncos payroll tonight.

We're up for it tonight. Brooks and Moses are rocks and diamonds as usual. I really like the way ET is used in the middle, going to the line and passing giving the halves time and space.

 

[Illek]

Ballins service out of dummy half is great to see. Fast and too the man is such a nice change, and putting us on the front foot.

 

[MacDougall]

Lol I am in the right thread now

 

[innsaneink]

God, Darius can't stand to be away from Wayne for a second

 

[hobbo]

I just wish both Moses and Brooks could be on there game for once . It's either one or the other ATM .

We've been going better since Halatau the hack went off ..Ballin is heaps better !

 

[old_man_tiger]

That penalty against Halatau is no different to the o e we should have received 3 minutes earlier. In this case is call complete bias by the red. Absolute b.s.

I know I'm late but 100% agree

Roberts sat on ET when he was playing the ball!

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

ETIs worth whatever they are paying him( or more)
He actually puts effort into everything. Hope some of that rubs off on some of the rest

I agree, I never liked the signing, it was a spite signing from the coach, never disliked Ballin he is a good player, I just thought our money would have been better spent elsewhere.
In saying that he looks pretty sharp, compared to Halatau he looks like Cam Smith, if Halatau stays out of the road we can win this.
Good luck to Matty Ballin coming back from a big injury, his hoping he stays healthy, and plays like we know he can.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Yeah I think Dean's days are numbered, which is a bit sad.

 

[stevetiger]

That is the best we've played this year. It's a long way to go though to actually win this game.

ET really makes a difference to our team. JAC has to be signed up. If he is gone I'll be spewing. Brooks and Moses need to improve. They've done plenty of good things but mixed that up with poor plays. Brooks has been much better than Moses though.

I said in another thread Ivan Cleary loves the bloke, said he was a real leader and a true professional, the most professional player he has worked with.
He will pay us back in spades if we keep him in the club.
