You're welcome........I think you'll find that I didn't "drift" the thread, it was the whiny Hughes apologist who was crying to the moderators in a totally unrelated thread, because Hughes Tenure and his abilities as an owner were being questioned in another thread about us being homeless AGAIN.....I suggest you take up the drift with him. Maybe you could contact him on Twitter where there was apparently an avalanche of activity surrounding the Broncos. They do have nearly 14,000 followers on Twitter now......something that the whiner thinks is more important than the 657 who paid the landlord to watch the game!
Quote: mickyb1234 "My view of the game basically 2 good 20 minute halves balanced out by 2 very poor 20 minute halves, luckily haven could not exploit the poor 20 mins as well as they could.
We tried extremely hard to lose this. Negatives first, we missed a leader out there again, not sure how to finish a set especially close to the line. Haven targeted Oscar in defence and for good reason. Again to many Penalties and dropped ball, we seem to be unable to play basic rugby.
Positives, when we did click for the 20 mins each half it looked good, ptb was quick and we dominated the ruck in defence. Individually I thought ray nasso actually had a really good game, Barthue looks good, OT was inventive going forward.
The pack looked pretty good overall making good mtrs in the tackle especially thackers.
Not pretty and a bit frustrating but in the end a win.'"
Thanks for that. Woke up expecting us to have cruised to the 2 points and was shocked that we'd shipped over 20 points to Haven. Still, games like this will keep us honest going into the Releg8's in a few weeks.
Is there any silverware on offer for winning the third 8? Not that I've totally given up on 4th, but realistically that's where we'll be.
