They clicked playing that style, especially against the Storm the previous week, so it was a damn shame they didn’t persist with it, though they were very unlucky not to beat the Cows in the Townsville final playing more orthodoxly. If Roberts doesn’t get suspended the previous week & Glenn...

Final round of 2016 season where they beat the Storm 26-16 in Melbourne with the Storm scoring consolation tries after the Broncos’ inspired performance. The energy & game plan that night of moving the ball was a revelation. Was disappointed that style of play was an aberration, thought the comp...

Thanks for sharing - Renouf will always be my favourite player, such a special talent

The Broncos of the 90s were something special. Here's my list with plenty of 90s moments. I've tried to avoid one already covered on the thread (eg Berrigan vs dogs 06 prelim final, Renouf 92 gf) which of course belong in any top 5. 1. Steve Renouf 94 final vs Manly. Off the back of defending...

It's unfair to accuse Hunt of a lack of effort - he's definitely a trier and if anything he tries too hard and overplays his hand. However, the bottom line is his performances are not consistent enough for the Broncos to win tight games against the top sides. His kicking game is erratic at best...

Brisbane showed in the last 10 mins how good they can be in attack - phenomenal offloading.They need to be more positive and use the ball and their skill in attack, which is generally too conservative given the ability they have

Moga's error in the first set of the match allowed Manly field position to score & gave them momentum that set the tone for the first 10 minutes. To say he had a great game is overstating it. Moga is the weak link in the Broncos' backline

Did anyone watch this? Am in London so couldn't but would love to track down an upload of the interview. Renouf remains my favourite player. His scintillating form between 92-94 still surpasses anything i've seen from an outside back (Brett Mullins 94/95 was pretty sublime too). For all the...

Yes and further to that i'm not sure if the Broncos won any matches after trailing at half time last year - maybe the Roosters match at the end of the regular season? They seemed to lack the attitude/intensity in defence last season in contrast to 2015, where their goal line defence became their...

Lots of love for the 2006 win but for me you cannot top '93. Coming from 5th and beating all the contenders in consecutive weeks to complete back-to-back premierships was special. They blew Manly and the Raiders away, while the SF against the Dogs, with Alan Cann's classic try ("somebody stop...

I have mixed feelings. Hunt showed so much heart and really carried the team in 2014-15 but I think he's too erratic when the chips are down and lacks vital composure. He's suffered many tough losses, starting with the 08 u-20s GF, and ultimately I just don't think he's a clutch player in big...

What a performance! The Broncos played with such purpose and commitment. It was so great to see the Broncos using the football in attack from the outset. Blair's offload from the very first play set the tone (and reminded me of their long range tries last year vs Souths and in the GF). I've...

In light of Big Pete's confirmation that Ben Hunt has never kicked a field goal in his career(!) I'd suggest you hold off on placing any bets involving Ben Hunt kicking a field goal. Hunt's positional play and inability to set up for the FG might be a factor in his inability to kick field...

But has Ben Hunt ever kicked a field goal in an NRL match? No one has been able to answer me. I do not think he has. He must hold something of an unwanted record among halfbacks in terms of field goal success ratio - 0/plenty. Given he practices field goals and evidently can drop kick based...

There's a lot of discussion about Ben Hunt elsewhere on Broncos HQ but I thought a separate thread was needed to discuss his field goal difficulties. I am baffled that he cannot kick a field goal to save his life. I know there is a goal kicking thread highlighting Parker's conversion misses in...

I thought it was a try for Gillett, unequivocally so. The fact it was given as a try on field surely should have meant it was awarded as I thought there was enough evidence to suggest he scored and there definitely wasn't adequate evidence to take it off him... However I also thought the Cows'...

Good Bennett story from today's Herald, thought it was worth sharing. Wayne Bennett makes an unexpected appearance in Richie McCaw's book The Open Side. The scene is 2008, at a leadership conference organised by the New Zealand Rugby Union of the type so beloved by sports organisations and...

? Brisbane did not miss any kicks in the grand final. Goal kicking had nothing to do with their GF loss

I have 1 surplus ticket for tonight's match at Parramatta stadium. Have posted ad on Gumtree but would rather it go to a Broncos fan. The ticket is a GA ticket in the Sterling Terrace RRP $35 but it's yours for $20! Meet outside stadium to collect if you're keen to see the Broncos win 13+ !

Thanks Big Pete! I figured the start of the season was a good time to enter the fray. Discussing the grand final with similarly devastated like minds is the best therapy for the heartbreak. While the GF defeat somehow surpassed the Melbourne 08 final loss in terms of devastation (I didn't...
