Good work ref and touchies

Blows for the 20 tap, the eels go a metre offside, the Bronco then taps it and everything is cool and good

But really Brisbane is utilising the old Tigers "How to hold ball" playbook. What is it, 10 incomplete?

Broncos completely the architects of their own failure. Couldn't hold the ball for most of the game, and couldn't stop giving away needless repeat sets and penalties.

Yep. The Eels are pretty good but we sealed the deal with a bunch of dropped ball and silly errors. Hoping as the season goes on they'll come good, that one looked like a round 1 game. Also whoever has us over the next few weeks will be lucky, with Fifita (knee, TBA), Glenn (hospitalised at half time), TPJ (suspended for the nth time) and Hoppa (no good) all busted or gone the second row is a massive weak spot at the moment.

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

I think it’s weird but they did do a good job with it, someone seems to be driving it manually to match the play?

It seems like the crowd noise is being managed. There wouldn't be a shortage of audio engineers looking for work right now.

The Broncos played poorly. Even if they were equally skillful compared to the eels their possession was almost 35% and it felt like most of the game was in their half. I still enjoyed the game though.

iajWife might have had a work party this afternoon and had a few wines, and almost crashed at halftime happy that the Titans only "lost" by 8.

It's mindboggling how much of their cap is just being utterly wasted. Taylor, Cartwright, Peachey, Boyd, Peats, Proctor, James, Roberts.... that's like 75% of their cap spent on poo.

Lol if the Titans don't win next week it'll be over a year since their last win

Of course they're playing the Tigers who will help them out with a sympathy win.

I think it was the one where a knight kicked a second ball at a Tigers player trying to catch a bomb that led to the game winning try?

Kearney's obsessive focus on completion rate to the exclusion of trying to do anything at all with the ball may turn out to be effective in the new NRL. Hard to say though because the Dragons have been atrocious.

Korbin Sims yeah, it was a sweet kick too. Claimed he never saw it in a post match interview but he had that ball lined up several strides away.

If it makes you feel any better they lost 19 games in a row after that.
