I'd love to share in your outrage Julian but there's just so few players from either side who make me excited to watch a game of Rugby League. If Mateo & DCE were playing it'd be a slightly different story. Watching Lyon & Milford try to play 5/8 all game will inevitably irk me too. And both forward packs are just really mundane. They're not overly skilled, aggressive, powerful or grubby. They're just inoffensive. Even Molo over Jo is extremely disappointing from a neutral point of view.
This. You get the feeling this could be a close one. Hope DCE plays, will be interesting to see the reception he gets from the Qld crowd.
Broncos 20 - 6 at half time. Just controlled most of the entire first half, only conceding a try in the last few minutes after our first knock-on (Molo).
Man, Ben Hunt is killing it. I know Milford doesn't really play as a modern half, but they've combined well too so far.
Really solid performance. McCullough had pretty crisp service with bullet passes hitting the mark. Vidot can't be replaced by Maranta next week.
