Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2726185, member: 1899"] Despite transcribing it not that long ago, I had completely forgotten about that win to Manly. Those are the type of games I like to revisit, games that fall below the radar since it usually gives you a good depiction of what the team was like at that time without the bells and whistles that usually define the memorable games. If the guys are over at Beyond Entertainment do another Broncos compilation, I hope they include the Round 6 92 clash. I've read so many good things about that match that I'd love to get to watch it someday. Some of these Bennett quotes crack me up - normally a catch would be quick to rate it as one of the best they've seen - Bennett ranking it in the Top 10 is very calculated and tempered. One of the biggest surprises with the write up was seeing Origin pop up as early as it did. Right in the middle of Round 7 (which was a split-round) a good three or so weeks earlier than it is these days. We've entered the Gus Gould era and as attention-seeking as Gus could be, he got Origin and played his part in the spectacle. Not much between either side, NSW had two of the best big men up-front and that's where the gap was created. You rarely hear anything about the great NSW Origin victories - it's a shame because it sounds like a great effort here. Illawarra were usually a thorn in the Broncos side for whatever reason. Probably because they saved their best for that clash and treated every clash like it was a final. A disappointing result to cap off what would have been a difficult week for most Brisbane supporters. Going back to what I said about NSW, the only thing I hear in regards to the 92 series is the field goal kick to Alfie Langer. The first one of his professional career, right in a clutch moment. Just typical Alf really - whenever the game was there for the taking, you'd invariably read it was Alf who initiated or scored the crucial try. Despite being one of the worst periods for Queensland, I really enjoy those early 90s Origins. They were always close, played in really good spirit and really captured the dynamic between the two teams well. [/QUOTE]
