Ben Cummins again.

Payne Haas all over Smith.. then strips it.

2 sin bin offences not called, needed to go to the Captains Challenge.

Then Ben Cummins claims he can’t hear? Would surprise me though, he can’t think either

I really enjoy both options. Also the narrow loss at the death. Good to mix it up a bit I think.

Remember kids with investments - diversity is key. Channel nine thumbed their nose at diversity. Don’t be channel nine.
30-40 even better

Anyone have some genuine thoughts on what is going on for the Broncos. On paper they should be a decent team. Heading into this round they had the worst defence and third worst attack.

Well if you want baseless speculation. Maybe Covid impacted their TPAs.

Broncos nearly spoiled it by playing well in the first half. Normal service resumed in the second half and they started stinking it up again.

They haven't got a decent leader. Their most experienced players are phoning it in. Siebold let McGuire and McCullough walk. Say what you like about them but between those two they were making 100 tackles a game in the middle. So after letting those two walk Siebold names Croft (interim) captain before ever wearing the jersey. Drops Darius from the captaincy but should have dropped him altogether and by doing that he has become a cancer on the club and probably divided the playing group. They have had a lot of injuries that haven't helped. I think Siebold has also lost the dressing room now. Milford just doesn't care anymore. Too many young players with too much expectation placed on them. Media scrutiny and pressure.

Honestly what's not wrong with them?

P.S. it's beautiful to watch.

I'll add that they're not fit. Were able to match Melbourne's effort but around the 50 min mark they ran out of gas. It was similar in the game against Manly where they dominated early and had the 18 point lead. Couldn't sustain it and fell away to lose.

Obviously they haven't been training hard enough compared to other teams. Phoning it in through the week as well as game day.

Warriors giving it to Roosters, who are struggling to deal with decisions not going their way all the time.

Yeah some real tough calls going against the Warriors. Fancy a team playing the Roosters getting penalised for 'markers not square'. The stripping call that was challenged and I thought there was a critical knock on that was missed.

Massive turning point. Awful call by the bunker. Morris try to offload then realised he was in trouble and tried to get it back. Do not deserve the penalty from that.

Ridiculous by JWH. He can dish it out but gets upset and unsportsmanlike when someone gives it to him.
