Holmes kicked the ball away so the Broncos didn't pick it up and score, he was offside, technically he shouldn't of touched it all and just let them score a try. Gee y'all are being a bit basic tonight.
no he did that in frustration.

He could have just dived on it if he wanted to do what you are saying

Capewell was exposed tonight. Hopefully it's the last we see of him in the outside backs (bar a mid game injury)

I'd rather give Ramien a go if we're going down that route.

Left Ramien out because I haven't been able to see any lower grade games this year thus I have no idea how he's been playing.

If he's forms been good then give him a go. Some fresh blood might spark some life in the team.

Feki made absolutely no attempt to get up and clean up his mistake, stayed on the ground having a mope. That is extremely poor imo. I'd almost drop him for that.

I can't believe how many times Brisbane got repeat sets and six agains. We seemed to get to their fifth tackle so many times and we just expected to get the ball back. It was so frustrating, not sure if it was luck or we just came up with poor plays.

I'm nowhere near writing us off either but there really needs to be a 180 degree turn around bloody quickly.

Where has our defence gone? Is that primarily down to not having Ennis?

The ball flew forward about 10 foot and Holmes literally almost kicked it out Durpius' hand, he is Feki but he ain't Superman.

Said the same thing to my dad.

I can handle him dropping the ball, was a difficult kick to take and I believe you should never let the ball bounce.

Was pissed me off is, as you said, that he made no attempt to regather the ball.

The good thing about tonight is we no longer have to guess whether we are a top 4 side. We are bottom 8 at best.

The teams disjointed and dysfunctional - not angry just kind of relieved that I can relax and enjoy the final few games knowing we won't be anywhere near the prelims.

Should be a good finals series if the broncos keep this form up and the roosters hit high gear.

We may some how pull something out of our ass but I think it's safe to say we are no longer a contender.

Next year if Val goes back to the wing and Dugan at FB we will look much better.

Mate it was more like he made absolutely no attempt to even try and get up and dive on the ball. He still might not have made it but at least he would have tried.

Yep, was very poor.
