The only difference today was the Rugby brain of the two teams. Broncos Made a couple of bad calls through naivity to be honest. Physically they stood up to them, it was just those decisions that were the wrong ones, that hurt em.

Not sure I totally agree, the two interceptions clearly hurt us, and where the final difference, but overall they looked stronger and the final two scores were down to muscle. They also tied up Sammut, who didn’t really make a yard in the match. Meadows tried, but was physically not at the races. Centres had no impact, very disappointing. No lack of effort, no criticism on that count, but beaten by a better side......

Fair view, although first try was not an interception as such it was a poorly executed last play. The second that was an intercept, was a pass that was never on. Try that killed the game started from a silly penalty from syd and Alex bought the cheapest dummy from Micky higham.
The final 2 scores were because their heads dropped!

Don't Cunningham and Ioane make a huge difference ?

Agree with most of the comments above. Sammut was isolated on may occasions (I'd love to see his tackle count). Meadows too naïve, Api every time for me. Sorry to say but Channing and Lovell look ok vs lower end teams but against the big boys they are found out (what has Fleming done to not get picked every week?)

If David viewed that game and though I need to strengthen 3 positions, have to be a top quality hooker/half and centre (proper strike centre)and a prop

Good point, what has happened to him, agree re Hugham, though overall played well. Sammut tackle count must be high, he really works, but lacked support yesterday. Ianonne and Cunningham make a huge difference I agree!

I actually thought Lovell looked good yesterday, would have liked him to have a longer stint.

And would definitely get Api in the team, whether it's in the centres (he's better than Channing) or halves (better than Meadows).

I didn't like Davies at 9 tbh, not that he was awful, but it detracted from his game, didn't really challenge the defence once.
