Post-Game Discussion Manly V Broncos [Round 13, 2025]

[Eagle 1]

And Kev getting a bit emotional. It’s just sad bla bla bla, cos my son plays for them bla bla bla. Whatever Kevvie it’s professional sports mate.

He also added, " my son Billy who still plays with the Broncs, who came on and had a great game " ..LOL.

What a night! This is how we do it. And without Turbo. And cough better discipline. One ruck infringement.

Our Set Restarts have been pretty much low all season so far, except for Round 2 when Adam "Six More against Manly " Gee decided that he wanted to only referee one team. He Sin Binned Jake T and caned us with 11 Set Restarts during the game which basically tired us out which then caused errors and penalties which in turn, more or less handed the Warriors the 36 to 16 win.

I know he’s probably still getting back to match fitness but I thought Froggy was struggling a bit last night.

There’s no doubt Simpkin is a far crisper passer of the ball.

But I think the Frog wins on the defence front.

Just think we looked better when Simpkin was on the field.

I thought the Frog was a big part of why we competed early. Holds up the middle far better than Simpkin. Some good shots on their props. Good one up under the ball to force Haas error.

Sorry James, that was uncalled for! Just something in the style of your post made me loco for a second

Funny as . No harm at all buddy

I actually think his passing was much crisper than usual. Maybe Ennis can take some credit for that and simpkins good form.

Yeah it was basically perfect in terms of rotating Croker's suitability to the early bash and barge phase, with Simpkin's suitability to the more open ended parts of the contest. I hope Siebold keeps going with that template.

Best defensive opening 10 minutes we have had for a long time, go the fortress. What about most of the Broncs out on the town at 3am, Buzz will have a field day !

 

[Super Coach Eagle]

@ one stage Madge declined Penns offer to coach us.

Madge is a myth.

Wins a comp in 2014 based off Crowe/Richardson building a gold plated roster for him to win it and it still took 3 cracks.

I still remember the 2013 choke job when they had us on the ropes and then capitulated.

Madge over cooked them in the leadup

Either that or they are tanking to get him sacked. They have form in that area.

How many failed coaches do you need before you start blaming the players?
There is something amiss in Brisbane, who last won the premiership in 2006. They have the largest catchment in the NRL, the most money, the luxury of a TV-friendly schedule...
Brisbane should be the most dominant club in the comp, yet they have a soft underbelly. There are too many 'Queen bees' and not enough 'workers'.
