How does Reynolds not get ruled out by independent when blow to head so bad he can’t get to his feet for 4 mins leaving teammates to defend line
not being able to stand feels like it should be cat 1

Dale would have been better off collapsing to ground and staying there than running straight back into d line

sadly we were out enthused by a sh!t team
broncos don't look like anything special

we were poor tonight
Until we stop missing crucial tackles around our goal line especially, we can't be considered a top 4 side. Sad bit is they think they're a defensive side and have worked on their defence.

I guess ups and downs are expected until we learn and cement ourselves with lots of alternative plays. It looked like we know how to play one style of game and do it very well however if defence shuts that play down we do not have any alternatives.

We lost. It hurts. Let’s learn from it and move on.

Can you imagine what Bellamy would have done to them at half time
I fairness Fitz is rookie first grade coach and is still figuring out the style of coach he is going to be.

He is still building relationships and trust with players and working out the most effective way to get the best out of them.

In addition, he probably would have known our game plan wasn't working which is on the coaching staff - not just the players.

Wade's looked so slow. Pace of the game has passed him by I think.
I did not recognize him on one carry - I thought who is the old bloke?

Saying that, he will be fine. -he warmed up with a nice hit from the inside later.

Every team that has rushed up on our team we’ve had no answer for, teams are going to figure it out and we don’t have an answer for it

Broncos showed the other teams how to shut our left edge down.
yeah but soon after the early encounters
Talakai made two significant runs up the guts, it hurt the broncos. you could see it
they didn't expect that, because they concentrated their defense out wide

they held on; we didn't do much

Also he was carrying a bit of condition, which hopefully he'll shed soon

Had a bad feeling about tonight after last week.

Didnt think the performance in the first half was too attrocious. Hopefully that second half was abit of a reality check because we didnt play the style of footy we needed to. Another try was scored in their first set of the second half and another 5 minutes later which was really disappointing. It looked as if we subconciously had brisbane beat in 40 minutes before we even kicked off. We havent looked great whenever Dale isnt on the field and we still havent put anywhere near an 80 minute performance together. Alot of improvements need to be made but to be expected with a new coach and new team. Next weeks response will be really interesting.

We need to put in a kick behind their line if they continue to rush up, or do it early in the game to make them think twice.

Variation.

Lot of cries from comm team that Staggs won. Didn’t see him making big efforts in the middle. Credited his defence for a miscommunication between Talakai and Graham even.

They did a great job on Talakai but Ferbie was more better than Ramien than Stagg was over Sifa

The thing is we were kicking on the fourth and we had a mad kick chase. We would pin the teams down and gain field advantage.

The last few games, it seems we've lost that.

Freddy's 3-2-1
1 point to Moylan 2 points to Reynolds and 3 points to Staggs. You're kidding Freddy.
Farnsworth played heaps better.
