Message: [QUOTE="GCBRONCO, post: 2633191, member: 1808"] [FONT=sans-serif]7/06/1989 - Panasonic Cup final vs Steelers The Broncos went in as favorites while the Steelers were very much the underdogs going into the match and highly supported by the fans south of the border because of their hatred of the Broncos. A strong display from the Broncos early on saw the Broncos up 16-0 at quarter time and the Broncos thought they had it in the bag, but a spirited fight from the Steelers saw the scoreline 16-14 at the third quarter. The last twenty minutes saw both sides scoring a converted try and the Broncos got home 22-20. The Broncos were abused, heckled and jeered when presented with the trophy, Ken Arthurson came into the sheds afterwards to apologise to the Broncos for their behavior. When the Broncos returned to red hill they made it very clear how they felt about the treatment they received south of the border, led by Wally Lewis "And to all those people who booed us down there .... they can kiss our ..." with the players on stage turning around and pointing to their backsides. It got them raging mad south of the border, even calls to be kicked out of the competiton came about. [/FONT] [/QUOTE]
