Hoffman had a brilliant game in defence, as did Lockyer imo. Im not sure what Wallace was thinking on the second tackle in the last minute or something. Fuck me.
Bani cannot be blamed soley for the Broncos first try, Tonga stupidly went for the intercept instead of trying to make the tackle.
Gillett should definitely come off the bench, he's played his best footy there. Meanwhile, Te'o has been at his best starting the game.
Turn it up Gemmell. As if you could be any more biased towards him. 4 errors and plenty of missed tackles. He's so loose. Agree with everyone else, he's better from the bench.
Bani shouldn't be blamed at all. It was purely Tonga's fault. He went out and took no one, going for an intercept as you say. Bani was in a two-on-one 5m from the line - Matt Sing, Johnny Raper and Ron Coote's love child couldn't have stopped it from there. It was very out-of-character for Willie.
Sammy got owned all night. He can definitely come off the bench into the front row but starting there is a no no. Brisbane really missed his fringe running.
Right. Mea culpa. Don't know why I thought he started. Just remember he had the 8 on his back. That's right, Tronc came into the starting side.
Truth be told, although they made decent metres, Brisbane's props got belted repeatedly. Anderson got smashed about 4 times, 3 of them by Sims. Johnson drilled Tronc in a great one-on-one.
I believe Johnson and GIllett both missed the same amount of tackles. But one actually did something in attack.
And you have the audacity to criticise others for blatant misrepresentation. Yeah, they missed the same amount of tackles. Difference is Johnson made 42 and Gillett made 25. Johnson tackled at 84% which is ordinary by his standards. Gillett tackled at 72% - That sort of efficiency, for less than 30 tackles, is shithouse. That's Watmough territory. Yeah Gillett did a lot more in attack - He got to run on the fringe and with much more space, in back line movements. Johnson took tight hit-ups. Gillett also gave away four times as many errors and 1 penalty to Johnson's 0. How about you and the rest of the attack junkies wake the fuck up and stop putting attacking metres and ability on a pedestal way up above errors and defence.
Oh you mean the penalty that Gillett gave away which should see Matt Bowen spend a week suspended? Yeah, how dare he give them the 12m they got from the kick for touch. Gillett was robbed not winning man of the match. His wide running all night was fantastic and he almost won the game for the Broncos. Sure he missed 6 tackles, but even a tackling machine like Johnson has missed 6 tackles in his life before. He might have even done it this season.
LMAO - Wtf? That little tap with his foot deserves a week suspension? Harden up ya skirt. Nothing in it at all. Once again, misrepresentation. Learn the game ffs. Firstly, the penalty gained the Cowboys 20m, not 12m. More importantly, it turned the ball over on 3rd and gave the Cowboys possession. You can't be serious. If you are, you are the biggest biased Bogan blockhead on Cricsim. Earlier you even said Lockyer was our best ffs. 6 missed tackles from 50 attempts is fine. 6 missed tackles from 33 attempts is shit - You don't give a rats arse about defence.
And what about the 4 errors? Gemmell should be banned from talking about Gillett. It's worse than Nady with Manly.
