broncos v storm : Fri Mar 20, 2009 8:01 pm  

a crackin match this morning for anyone who missed it and an advert as to how superior the nrl is to super league. the intensity for 80 minutes was unbelievable and brisbane did'nt have any substitute props on the bench. the fitness of the forwards was unreal. to say its only there second week of the season is scary.

Caught the last 20 minutes it was like they had just kicked off. They were tearing into each other with such a level of intensity it was like watching a top Grand Final game in Super League.

Thoroughly enjoyed the match; was a great hitout from both sides and could have gone either way.

Their fitness, with the 10 interchanges, is amazing as they were at full tilt all the time.

Watched the 2nd half and it looked a classic.

The players were literally out on their feet at the end.

It made me laugh when Thaiday got tackled with the ball on the last play of the game and instead of getting up just propped the ball under his head and used it as a pillow so he could have a lie down

I'm sure i read somewhere it's at the end of this season but i'm not sure he's what we need.

He's abit of an off the cuff type player when i feel we need a real enforcer type prop who just gets through the yards and tackles and just gets a solid job done.

A decent game to watch, but a blatent knock on before the Bronco's last try, 2 refs and they still couldnt see that....
