But the Broncos, at the start of the year they were title contenders,\u201d Nathan Hindmarsh said on Sunday Night with Matty Johns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut today\u2019s game, the amount of errors they made, the lack of patience they showed, the pushing of passes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were panicking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Broncos made 14 errors against the Dragons, conceded seven penalties and also completed at only 73 per cent.<\/p>\n<p>But with 52 per cent of the possession, including 65 per cent in the last 10, to go with six line breaks and five set restarts \u2014 Brisbane had every chance to win the game.<\/p>\n<p>But it was the final pass and attacking decision making that let them down and left Michael Maguire scratching his head in the post-match press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Michael Maguire was scratching his head.Source: Supplied Source Known<\/p>\n<p>\u201cVery disappointing. Missed the start and we weren\u2019t able to build pressure,\u201d Maguire said post-match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe knew exactly what we were walking into. Had a good prep, but we didn\u2019t match their intent, that was the disappointing part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe commitment in areas of our game that we hold pretty high, we didn\u2019t hit the mark today.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s something that we as a group, myself, everyone need to find that really quickly because there is a talented team there and we all know that<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my role now with the senior leaders and everyone involved to find it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, superstar prop Payne Haas delivered his own damning assessment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re all talk at the moment,\u201d Haas told ABC Sport after the game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe keep on saying we\u2019re going to do all these important things on the field, but to be honest, we\u2019re just BS-ing each other.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, one thing that does bode well for the Broncos is their 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Struggling mid-way through the year, Maguire\u2019s men found form and surged to win a premiership \u2014 but Maguire was confident history shouldn\u2019t be a factor for his team\u2019s current predicament.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we\u2019re relying on past history, we might find ourselves in a bit of bother,\u201d Maguire added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone can tell you a good story of the past but it\u2019s what you\u2019re doing right now and that\u2019s the disappointing part.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can compare stories but I\u2019ve never seen two years the same.

Foran now faces a fresh challenge in his so far successful yet short coaching career. <\/p>\n<p>However, as said post-game on Fox League, there were still some positive moments.<\/p>\n<p>Kieran Foran will face the biggest test of his coaching career.Source: FOX SPORTS<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, whatever he (Foran) said at half-time had an impact, because they were better in the second half and they scored a try eight minutes into the second half,\u201d former premiership and State of Origin winning halfback Cooper Cronk said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow Kieran Foran\u2019s got a little bit of work to do. The game against Penrith they lost, there was an argument to say they probably should have won that game.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s just a bit more of a reset. They\u2019ve been up for a long period of time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe biggest challenge for rookie coaches is when you lose, how do you react, and how you handle those losses and move forward?,\u201d Fox League host Braith Anasta continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s (Foran) been faultless so far, and he\u2019s been amazing, I expect him to continue in that vein of form.<\/p>\n<p>Luke Brooks will need to lead the team with his experience.Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>However, despite the near-blemish-free start to his coaching career, Panthers legend Greg Alexander says this is still uncharted territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut he\u2019s got no history to fall back on, does he? Only his history as a player,\u201d Alexander added on Fox League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all know Kieran pretty well; we know what a character he is. We know his character, I think he\u2019ll handle it well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fans will find out very quickly how the Sea Eagles respond when they face the Rabbitohs at 4 Pines Park on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p>Manly are yet to lose at home under Kieran Foran despite having their first three losses of the year all being on their turf, but they face a South Sydney side who will be fresh off the bye.<\/p>\n<p>The Sea Eagles will still be missing Origin star Tolutau Koula, who is still under the mandatory concussion protocol after failing his head injury assessment in State of Origin game one.<\/p>\n<p>Foz: &#8220;Too little too late!&#8221; | 05:25<\/p>\n<p>BOLTER HEATS UP PRESSURE FOR BLUES STARTING SPOT<\/p>\n<p>Dylan Lucas may have been the 20th man for the NSW Blues on Wednesday but the back-rower has further pressed his case to make the leap into the state\u2019s 19-man squad for Game 2.<\/p>\n<p>Three days after departing Origin camp, Lucas helped guide the Newcastle Knights to a vital win over the Eels with two tries, five tackle busts, two line-breaks, 137 running metres and a game-high 41 tackles.<\/p>\n<p>Not shying away from both ends of the field, his best moment occurred when he broke through the defensive line and raced 60 metres &#8211; and outran opposing fullback Isaiah Iongi in the process &#8211; to take the Knights to a 14-point lead at a crucial moment in the contest.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI know they didn\u2019t get on Wednesday night but I think the way they came back was enormous,\u201d Knights coach Justin Holbrook said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe line-breaks and tries were excellent and the difference in the two sides was probably Dyl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe\u2019s such a big part of our side and he was great today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lucas could not be stopped against the Eels.Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>While Hudson Young has cemented a back-row spot on the left edge for the Blues, Lucas\u2019 performance only heats up the pressure on Manly Sea Eagles star Haumole Olakau\u2019atu<\/p>\n<p>This comes after Olakau\u2019atu didn\u2019t look his dangerous best on Wednesday and did not feature this round.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was a great week to be in there with all the elite players from our comp and I took a lot out of it in terms of leadership and how they go about their business,\u201d Lucas said on Fox League after the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was just super grateful for being in there and it\u2019s definitely made me hungry for rep footy and I\u2019ll just keep doing what I do here for Newcastle and hopefully that works itself out.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Revealing that he has aspirations to move from the NSW Blues reserves and into the 19-man squad, Lucas earned the praise of Cooper Cronk and former Maroons coach Kevin Walters post-match as he prepares for one final Origin audition next week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Knights were good. Kalyn Ponga backing up, Dylan Lucas was really good,\u201d Cooper Cronk said on Fox League\u2019s Super Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir good players are playing well and in the top four is good for the Knights.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Should Lucas get an Origin promotion? | 02:09<\/p>\n<p>\u2018GOING TO CLICK SOON\u2019: DOGS STAYING RESILIENT DESPITE EIGHTH LOSS<\/p>\n<p>Canterbury coach Cameron Ciraldo has moved to assure fans the Bulldogs attack \u201cis going to click soon\u201d after yet another inconsistent offensive performance in their 22-16 loss to the Wests Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>Ciraldo admitted after the game that \u201cI was hoping it was going to click today\u201d \u2013 and in many respects, the Bulldogs deserved to win the contest: more possession, more run metres, better field position, more linebreaks, the list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to click soon,\u201d Ciraldo said afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re not on the scoreboard right now but we\u2019re winning in a lot of areas that we want to provide ourselves on and eventually, if we keep training the way we will, the scoreboard will turn around.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hoping it was going to click today but it didn\u2019t. We\u2019ve got guys there that are working hard and they\u2019re learning quickly, so I trust in that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bulldogs did not utilise Matt Burton\u2019s kicking game to full effect against the Wests Tigers.Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Despite those stats, there was no escaping the Bulldogs\u2019 inability to capitalise on a mountain of possession and repeat sets: 37 tackles in the Tigers\u2019 red zone (versus just 7 for the opposition), and 78 tackles in their half (versus 39).<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s more, the Bulldogs fumbled three separate fifth-tackle options in the 73rd, 75th and 78th minute of play respectively, before a fourth-tackle fumble from Sitili Tupouniua metres from the line with one minute remaining.<\/p>\n<p>Fox League\u2019s Michael Ennis was left to rue the Dogs\u2019 failure to use Matt Burton\u2019s \u201celite\u201d kicking game in attack after just 548 kick metres (versus 849 metres for the Tigers).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t understand why Matt Burton doesn\u2019t kick the footy more, he\u2019s one of the game\u2019s elite kickers,\u201d said the former Bulldog in commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Which begs the question, where to from here?<\/p>\n<p>Dogs denied through controversial call | 00:23<\/p>\n<p>According to Ciraldo, one of the keys to unlocking the Dogs\u2019 attack remains their fifth tackle kicking options.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOrigin probably showed the other night \u2013 there was four tries from kicks \u2013 and we\u2019re not getting enough of them at the moment. It\u2019s something the boys have been working on and it\u2019s going to click at some stage,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Another is just execution and consistency, Ciraldo said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was times where we were poking our nose through, and then we\u2019d get pulled down and have a slow play the ball. There was good signs and there was things where you\u2019re like \u2018that\u2019s not what we looked like at training\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe boys will go back and work on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Will the Bulldogs make the top-eight?Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Separately, Bulldogs forward Max King said the Bulldogs lacked execution in key moments.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s disappointing,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we were in a position to win it, and we lacked a bit of polish tonight \u2013 that\u2019s my key takeaway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to watch the game back again, but for me being out there, it just felt like our polish was lacking close to the line. We had opportunities to score and we just didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn this day and age of rugby league, you have to be able to score points. And we just didn\u2019t put ourselves in that position.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ciraldo unloads on dubious ref decisions | 07:57<\/p>\n<p>GALVIN PUTS THE BLINKERS ON IN TIGERS BOO-FEST<\/p>\n<p>Saturday marked 12 months to the day that Bulldogs convert Lachlan Galvin sensationally walked out on the Wests Tigers mid-contract.<\/p>\n<p>So it was with typical rugby league poetry that the 20-year-old would once again face the music of his old fans at Commbank Stadium. <\/p>\n<p>Boy, didn\u2019t he know about it. Every single time Galvin touched the ball, went for a tackle, even ran onto the field, the majority of the 17,505 people in attendance let him have it, booing endlessly for the duration of the 80 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Not that Galvin took much notice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was fine. I don\u2019t know if he notices to be honest but it\u2019s what\u2019s going to make him a very good football player down the track is that he deals with this stuff all the time,\u201d Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo.<\/p>\n<p>Galvin was relentlessly booed by fans of his former team.Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>Galvin has endured a huge amount of pressure, criticism and spotlight ever since the controversial move to the Bulldogs \u2013 much of it arguably unfounded. The 20-year-old has let his football do the talking, imposing a media ban on himself and keeping a low profile wherever possible.<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, the Bulldogs continue to sing the praises of Galvin and his future greatness at every opportunity. <\/p>\n<p>Saturday was no different.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe deals with people talking about him. I get it, it\u2019s footy, but he\u2019ll be a better player for it,\u201d Ciraldo said after the game, doubling down on Galvin\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s just footy. It\u2019s tribal, we love our clubs, we love our teams, we love our players and that stuff comes out. It\u2019ll die off eventually but he\u2019ll be better for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tigers coach Benji Marshall understandably wanted no part in the fans reaction, but said fans generally have long memories.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou have to ask the fans,\u201d Marshall said. \u201cYou can\u2019t tell them how to feel but they never forget, that\u2019s the problem. Whatever, it\u2019s up to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marshall praises stubborn Tigers defence | 06:19<\/p>\n<p>CONTENDERS FIRM TO REPLACE BRAILEY AS BLUES UTILITY<\/p>\n<p>Api Koroisau, Wayde Egan and Connor Watson have emerged as front-runners to replace Blayke Brailey as the Blues&#8217; utility hooking option after the incumbent was ruled out for Game 2 with a broken arm.<\/p>\n<p>Blues coach Laurie Daley nominated all three as contenders on Saturday afternoon, after Brailey suffered a fractured arm in the Shark\u2019s 28-22 win over Manly on Friday. <\/p>\n<p>The Sharks rake will have surgery on Monday, meaning he will miss Game 2 and possibly Game 3 of this year\u2019s Origin series.<\/p>\n<p>Koroisau did himself no harm with his performance against the Bulldogs on Saturday night, albeit in limited minutes as he returns from a three-game suspension. In a post-match interview, he welcomed the prospect of joining the Blues with both hands.<\/p>\n<p>According to Fox League\u2019s Kevin Walters, Koroisau deserves his shot at a recall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe inclusion of Api Koroisau lifted the spirits of the Tigers players,\u201d said Walters. \u201cThey defended really well and their attack was great off the back of that.<\/p>\n<p>Koroisau is the lead contender to replace the injured Blayke Brailey.Source: Getty Images<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a strong performance and one the Tigers needed as well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Api would be the standout contender for me. He got a bit gassed in the game but he\u2019s a classy footballer. You can see the energy and the football knowledge he brings to the Tigers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Brailey played 31 minutes off the bench and provided a crucial try-assist for Nathan Cleary during Origin I. <\/p>\n<p>Koroisau, 33, has played four Origin games for NSW, but none since 2023. He was seemingly in contention to be picked for Game 1 before he copped the three-game suspension.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey [the Blues] want a dynamic player to come on and Koroisau probably fits that mould a little bit more. I think Wayde Egan deserves the jumper\u2026 and Connor Watson has done the job before,\u201d said former Queensland half Cooper Cronk.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had to choose someone, I\u2019d probably go Wayde Egan. He probably deserves a crack with the level he\u2019s playing at right now.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fitzy gives an update on Brailey injury | 08:17<\/p>\n<p>THE SIMPLE FIX BEHIND ROOSTERS RETURN TO FORM<\/p>\n<p>A month ago, the Sydney Roosters looked like one of the in-form teams of the NRL which saw them win six consecutive matches and insert themselves into the premiership conversation.<\/p>\n<p>During that hot streak of victories against the Sea Eagles, Sharks, Knights, Dragons, Broncos and Titans, they capitalised on fast ruck speed with quick play-the-balls, allowing them to control the tempo of the contest.<\/p>\n<p>With the spine of James Tedesco, Daly Cherry-Evans, Sam Walker and Reece Robson all playing at their best, they looked unstoppable and were incredibly tough to defend once they found their rhythm.<\/p>\n<p>However, since their most recent bye in Round 11, they have looked like an entirely different outfit, resulting in losses to the North Queensland Cowboys and Melbourne Storm in back-to-back weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOutside of Penrith and the Warriors it\u2019s really hard to put any of these teams truly where they are. Three weeks ago the Roosters were flying,\u201d Cooper Cronk said on Fox League\u2019s Super Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey were the team that probably adapted to the fast ruck speed better than most and the way they did it, it was Robson then Tedesco running when there was a quick play the ball. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey weren\u2019t playing these plays that were trying to break down the opposition but the last couple of weeks, defensively, they\u2019ve missed tackles, catching the ball errors and gone away from that ruck speed and generating the quick play the balls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Not only has their execution dropped off, but they have had multiple lapses on both ends of the field, which has seen them make simple handing errors and fail to make tackles that they are normally able to do.<\/p>\n<p>Robbo SLAMS &#8216;poor&#8217; Roosters after loss | 03:58<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Roosters will be there. They will go through this period of time with six missed Origin players, but there are some fundamentals that are quick and easy to fix,\u201d Cronk continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCatch and pass, holding the ball errors, they\u2019re pretty simple to fix. It\u2019s individual accountability when you have the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The fix to their problem is not complex. <\/p>\n<p>Rather than needing a complete structural overhaul, all they need to do is to return to the rugby league basics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt may be a little tough period through the Origin because Sam Walker and Rob Toia are pretty inexperienced when it comes to Origin football and backing up and getting your body ready, week in, week out to play,\u201d Kangaroos coach Kevin Walters said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo that might be a little turbulence, but once they get through Origin and set sail for home they\u2019ll be one of the teams that can challenge the Penrith, Warriors and Broncos.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Speaking after their loss to the Storm, enforcer Victor Radley admitted that the team need to take on individual accountability for their missteps.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDisappointing. We had a chance in that second half and we weren\u2019t good enough,\u201d Radley said on Fox League.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to stick to our style (of footy). It\u2019s just on the individual. When it\u2019s your moment, just finish the play, play the ball (and) get it done.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WEBSTER STRIVES FOR MORE AFTER LITMUS TEST<\/p>\n<p>Billed as the match of the round, the 1st v 2nd clash between the Panthers and Warriors was the first match up this season betweenteams holding the top two spots on the ladder.<\/p>\n<p>It seemed to lose a little bit of its lustre when it was announced that Penrith would\u2019nt\u2019 be backing up Brian To\u2019o, Isaah Yeo and Nathan Cleary from Origin, but those omissions did nothing to dampen the quality of the game.<\/p>\n<p>It what lived up to it\u2019s billing, the Panthers and Warriors produced an outstanding, see-sawing contest which ended in Penrith gripping on for a 20-18 win.<\/p>\n<p>Even without those three Penrith stars, this was a good yardstick for the Warriors to prove they are the real deal.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss, they still sit 2nd, now four points adrift of the Panthers, who have only dropped one game this year.<\/p>\n<p>In clear sign the Warriors won\u2019t just be content with a deep finals run this season, coach Andrew Webster lamented his side letting Sunday\u2019s game slip through their fingers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were so good for long periods, but not for 80. That was probably the issue,\u201d Webster said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe probably played some of our best football, but we had moments where they hurt us, on last plays particularly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were just moments we looked likely and looked in control and then we\u2019d let them off the hook and they\u2019re too good that they punish us. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re trending in the right direction, but we just didn\u2019t put in an 80-minute performance together.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Panthers hold out Warriors in an epic | 03:37<\/p>\n<p>A highlight of the Warriors\u2019 performance was the play of the back five.<\/p>\n<p>Led by fullback\u2019s Taine Tuaupiki, the Warriors\u2019 back five averaged 141 metres and six tackle busts.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019ll be hard to drop or demote any one of them, but gun centre Rocco Berry is close to an NRL return and he\u2019s sure to give Webster something to think about.<\/p>\n<p>Berry has been hit hard by injuries over the past couple of seasons but when he\u2019s healthy and in form, he can be one of the league\u2019s most all-around centres.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019ll have to work hard to earn a recall though.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve been pretty settled through form. Like, whoever plays has been playing good football, and they\u2019ve been keeping their spots,\u201d Webster said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRocco Berry returned in reserve grade today, so he\u2019s back pressing, but no, really happy with our back five and what they\u2019re doing. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI thought we were tearing them apart on kick returns, and that\u2019s hard to do against Penrith, so I was pretty proud of that back five\u2019s performance.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Broncos are spiralling, and one of the club\u2019s stars called out his team following their embarrassing loss&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":707014,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-707013","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707013","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=707013"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/707013\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/707014"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=707013"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=707013"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=707013"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
