Message: [QUOTE="Morkel, post: 2646522, member: 8215"] Remember seeing the Pearl cross the line in the reserve-grade GF. Maybe more than once, it was a long time ago. The Broncos were already a part of my family, but this is one of my first & fondest memories, which likely got me to love them as opposed to just being familiar with them. Probably also why I love the success stories of the younger players coming out of nowhere and becoming a star. As for Hodges, I was on a sport semi-hiatus between the late 90s and mid 2000s as my attention fell to girls & cars. Yeah, the Broncos were there, and it felt like they were on every Sunday arvo and I often watched them, but strangely enough their success made it easier for me to ignore them as there wasn't that gritty live-or-die feeling. What got me to take notice again? Obviously by 2006 they'd been in a dry spell trophy-wise, so getting deep in to the finals was intriguing, though not necessarily all-consuming. What changed that? Hodges. Sure Lockyer had a blinder, and Webcke trudging barefoot up to the commentary box cemented it as legendary, but Hodges started it all, brought back those memories, and here I am. [/QUOTE]
