Cronk was supposed to win games like that for us

Yeah, that line break from Cronk where Sutton ruled it was a forward pass... nothing about that was forward, but it works in his favour to get the Broncos across the line.

Funny about that.

So, when will it be our turn for Sutton and co to get us across the line?

[bondi.boy]

He did... with minutes to go he got a ridiculously good line break, passed wasaaay back to his man and it was called a knock-on... or something.

It was like one of those rigged boxing matches back in the day where you see a guy get his ar$$$e kicked then be awarded to win unanimously. Broncos got their head handed to them on a plate... it was our game and IMO it was just so badly taken away from us, even from the kickoff.

So many dud calls. A loss is fine, but we won!!!! So infuriating.

The silver lining could be that Roberts gets picked for Origin. Please!!!! Unfortunately, Freddy and co will probably walk away saying it was a rigged game (behind the scenes) so we will lose the 2 points that we won last night and we will lose our entire backline during Origin. Faaaaark me!!!!

PS - I seriously question Roberts being fast. I see some guys (like Pearce) and their technique demonstrates they are fast. IMO Roberts never ran 100m in 10 seconds. Put it over to Shervo... hey mate you ran 100m in 10 seconds... ever heard of James Roberts being faster than you? Nup? Never made nationals... was never in any junior international comps. Doubtful he had did a time that woulda made him one of Australias fastest aged 16 without any sprint training... must kill the guy to keep hearing that some bulky dude is anywhere near as fast as he was when prepping for the olympics.

Exactly.
But, it was still a ridiculous pass to throw...unless it was the fifth tackle.
We needed field position and a chance at a try or repeat set.

200 IQ thread heading is right though.
