Broadly was great tonight. Knows his role and fits in seamlessly with the other back men.
I’m more confident when he’s in the team

Importance still understated.

Hence I wanted him back in the backline it's just better with him there they are a unit that know how each other goes about it, especially Dave Grub Tigga and Nathan..

Good again tonight, the guy just gets it done and does the dirty work.

Missed him big time against the bears. He's our best option on the hard leading forwards. Few times port went forward only for broad to beat his opponent high on the flank.

I love Broady as well. He’s up there with my all time faves, but oddly, I’m not really sure why.

We are simply better when he plays.

Hope he stays. We are a better team with him in and we always have been. It still makes absolutely no sense at all that he was dropped mid year after playing the best football of his career.

Nobody but nobody knock Broady's performance tonight. Did his job to perfection again nullifying his opponent all night. Nailed in for the GF team
time and time again, he continues to win the ball. A great game Broady

Might be possible that Broady was moving away from the way that the Coach needed him to play within the team role, so they just sent him back to recalibrate his game a touch?
Last few years it's all been about playing within a certain structured team role first, second and third, then after that ya can fudge n cheat a bit ( unless you're Dusty of course ).

We missed broad against the bears 2 fold. He'd be hipwoods blanket and relief cover for cameron. If we play the bears again both broad and lynch are massive ins

Paid special attention to Broady last night after calling him Mr Invisible all week. Special player - never loses his cool. Poised, agro and fearless in equal measure. Doesn’t seem to make mistakes - maybe that’s why I haven’t paid much attention. From 0 to man crush in a week. Geez I’m fickle.

just watched the last qtr again.

Broady repelled everything.

why was he ever dropped? Hes a super tough, super reliable, composed, competitive animal, who rarely loses a 1:1.

I suppose it doesn't matter now. Hes in the 22, with a crack at footballing immortality.

Nathan Broad, Duel premiership hard-man, is on the brink of footballing immortality.

Watching him last night made me wonder why he got dropped. We're so much better with him in the team.
