Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2488783, member: 1899"] I only knew because they made a point of it on commentary. :001_tt2: I honestly don't remember this game at all. I remember the result, I remember hating Parra because of it but what happened on the field was a blur. And difficult to make too many comments as Fox's coverage was just extended highlights that skipped large 5-10 minute chunks of action, but there was enough there to comment on. Watching this, I assume this was one of our 'average' performances. Decent effort to make it 22-18 after being 22-6 down with 20 to go but way too many weak efforts and silly mistakes for it to be considered a good performance. I think Lockyer's performance summed it up. Had a real go and came up with some big plays, but his instincts failed him at times and he just didn't do the 1%ers that would have made a big difference. Still, came up with some fantastic runs and a beautiful tackle on McFadden who should have scored for all money. A brilliant try saving tackle which deserves credit. I thought our big problem was our pack. Unsure if it was because of Bennett's gameplan or they were just crap, but they were mostly unsighted as Parra kept forcing us backwards. The only forward who really stood up was Webby who kept bending the line, the rest, aside from the odd moment, were fairly unsighted. It's one of those chicken or the egg situations. Were they crap because the Broncos kept trying to play expansive footy, or were the halves trying to play expansive because the forwards were crap? At the end of the day, they were barely making 25m a set, while Parra were making up to 80m. Still, I enjoy watching these games. 2002 was a good blend for me, it was when I was a fan without studying the internet or magazines. I just enjoyed watching good footy. [/QUOTE]
