I have to admit, that was probably the best coached game all year.

There were some specific tactics involved in tonight. Something that a coach drills in training. I hope he comes good, but I still doubt it.

We will revisit this topic come June next year.
As far as I'm concerned Dean Pay has worked with what he had available, and has produced a pretty good and competitive outfit. The results can't be dismissed.
Well done coach and team.

Some good touches from Lewis tonight and mostly good defence as usual (could've done better in Milfords try). He showed nice vision in Meaney's first try and had a decent kicking game too. But there were still times in the game where his passing was basically cringe-worthy. I can't work out how someone who always looks so composed, lacks composure when choosing the right option.

He's just poorly skilled. He competes and so many people lap that shit up.

Well that’s another season gone,my last trip out to the stadium
A big shout out to our passionate supporters who again turned up in good numbers and sat there in freezing conditions cheering on the team.
Everybody stayed until the final whistle which was outstanding,the mood in the Kennel was so positive and upbeat
We are definitely the most dedicated bunch around.
I hope things are on the up for the sake of the faithful who fork out money year in year out.

Great effort without dwz. The last 15 of first half was not good, and I thought, 'oh well, here we go again'. But happily, they proved me wrong and for for the first time in quite a while, they powered on in the 2nd half. Sure, Broncos were a bit out of sorts, but fuck it, we had something to do with that. Quite frankly, it was a bit of an old school belting. Broncos now limping into the finals.

Did anyone see okunbor run with smith when he ran away for that disallowed try. He wasn’t even trying as hard as smith to sprint but was easily keeping up with him. If you missed it check out the highlights. I reckon okunbor is actually faster than reimis smith. What do you guys think?

Lol it was clearly a defensive decision. Lewis ran out and ran towards the attacker, the decoy fooled him and that's the entire point.
Hec if a dogs forward did the same the Broncos dude it. We would have been penalised for obstruction instantly.

I have to agree with the video ref on that one. Lewis clearly went for the decoy runner.... you can see him shift towards the runner...
Dude, if it was the other way round, it would have been an instant penalty.

We literally scored off and illegal play this game.. Hoppa ran behind CHN for Meaneys try.

Yeah but chn ran thru the line and didn’t obstruct defenders
Used to be automatctic no try
But now they use there brains and realise with hoppa catching ball etc it doesn’t impede defenders
Been like this for a while

They still rule on it, Bunker just didn't check it for whatever reason.

Some players just need time to mould their game... Really all the kid needs to do is get those stupid moments of his game like just holding the ball when nothing is on instead of throwing it away.

Mate said it last night and anybody who doesn't agree is off their head, his vision and ability to pull a rabbit out of a hat based on leaving structure and playing what's in front of him is Thurston like.... The kid definitely deserves all the time he can get.

Makes up for all three of their tries that came off the back of bullshit calls. It was a dead set illegal play, would not have made a difference where Hoppa caught it and what CHN did as Meaney was always going to be untouched in the corner though. Fcuk em All!

His poorly skilled....lol Kids not Joey Johns Braaaaaahhh.


And what's the point of being Ash Taylor if you don't have the balls to compete.?


As far as I'm concerned his footy is well rounded, needs work but very well rounded for this footy team.
