Time to play seriously.
So despite the confirmation last night of a broken ankle and compound fracture it actually wasn’t a compound fracture which is HUGE news. Last I saw they were doing the surgery and would then confirm if it was an ankle break or just a straight tibia/fibula break, with the latter being preferable as it would have a much lower chance of being a career ender. Fingers crossed!
Didn’t think I’d be cheering for the panthers but I’d rather they win now so we can play them in a grand final rather than the prelim. Then winning today gives us a much easier path to the grand final.
Melbourne’s only chance to score seems to be from a kick…
Not if NAS keeps doing that
Great game from both teams in the wet.
Respect to the Broncos defence. Melbourne never looked like scoring. Broncos well deserved winners.
But holy hell, that last 10 minutes or so of Melbourne injuries… I hate Melbourne, but no, not like this…☹️
Yeh I can’t remember a worse 10 minutes of injuries ever tbh. Coates was in a world of hurt, that head clash was one of the most brutal I’ve ever seen (how one of them managed to get up and stay on the field before going off 10 minutes later is amazing, the ref should have sent him straight away for an HIA), and then Papi going down like that. Just terrible.
I’m a Broncos diehard but I like the storm as they’re basically another QLD team, so that end just took all the wind out of my jovial sails.
Broncos going to definitely have to fix their errors if they want to beat Penrith though. Walsh made a couple of unforgivable ones in the 2 play the ball errors. Also his insistence to challenge the first one was bad. You could tell Reynolds didn’t want to but Walsh convinced him. Terrible call by Walsh.
