LIVE GAME Rd 11 Magic Round discussion *spoilers*

[krissy]

The broncos are confused by penalties against them on their home turf, they are not getting away with things they usually get away with & the frustration is showing. Yes absolutely the amount of penalties is crazy but many have been fair calls that other teams are pinged for.

 

[innsaneink]

Silly pass Walsh

 

[TheEnz]

Geez walsh can singlehandedly win and lose games for the broncs

 

[Tucker]

Walsh is a lottery as a ball player.
I really really hope they aren’t dumb enough to pick him for Origin.

 

[Telltails]

It’s the way she goes.
When you are on the back foot and fatigued, your technique and timing drop, you start looking for shortcuts and/or start getting a bit dirty to force possession change over. It’s been happening for 100+ years.
These days with the extra eyes on you the discipline needs to be excellent. At the speed the game has eveloved to, that is impossible.

It's not just physical fatigue it's mental fatigue that causes errors. And if you have no time to catch your breath you are always going to have players in desperation who make poor choices

Yet the refs get a whole lot of back up for their poor choices and errors in the same frantic situation that they facilitate.

 

[Tucker]

That was a very easy try

 

[wstigers11]

I know Carrigan’s been carrying this pack but he’s been poor for while now.

It’s not always the refs, it’s mostly the players fault.
Take that try then as an example. Carrigan gives away a stupid six again which results in a try. I’m sure some fans are sulking about the six again being given, but it was warranted.

Wahs have discipline, Broncos don’t !!

Interestingly they toyed with the idea of changing the kick off rule in the off-season. I think they saw these blow outs coming. They’ll have to tweak it somehow.

Cause he is stuffed!

The coaches were against it. But they didn't foresee that their teams wouldn't get the ball for 15 minutes plus.
It needs to come in if this crap continues.

Silly pass Walsh

He has thrown a number of those today.

Fatigue mate - he is absolutely stuffed. They have been starved of possession

They have to scrap 6 agains as well. You can’t catch your breath continually running backwards and tackling.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Wahs might not even need Metcalf. TMM is killing it.

A late in the count six again is so cruel. It’s not rugby league it’s torture.

 

[mtd#2]

By their own doing. This is the point you keep missing.

Its not a point I dont believe to be correct.

 

[Tucker]

Fatigue mate - he is absolutely stuffed. They have been starved of possession

Because of the foul play that THEY have been performing.
This lopsided count is all their own fault.

 

[Siberian Kitten]

I doubt too many wingers could have caught that Walsh pass.
