It's back again. Over the course of a few weeks, FoxSports is going to give fans an opportunity to watch some of their clubs greatest victories.

I'm not sure when the Broncos are scheduled, but here's a list of games for other teams.

Round 18 2001 vs Newcastle Knights - December 9th
Round 24 2003 vs Warriors - December 10th
Round 5 2007 vs Gold Coast Titans - December 11th
Round 3 2001 vs Parramatta Eels - December 13th
Round 20 1990 vs Penrith Panthers - December 14th
Preliminary Final 1990 vs Canberra Raiders - December 15th
Round 26 2003 vs St George Illawarra - December 17th

Definitely some lowlights among that lot but I wouldn't mind watching the Round 24 03 game against the Warriors.

I loved that game, I remember being so pumped for it because we were 1 point behind Canberra and we won in a match that delivered on the hype and we were 1st!

Disappointing list, but it's better than nothing. Rnd 2 vs Cronulla 2006 is a strange choice. I remember that being a super dull game.

It was.

Very similar to the Round 2 game from this year.

A scrappy and ugly win after getting flogged the week before..

It certainly wasn't one of our greatest victories.
 
This Titans game was ridiculous.

Brisbane should have won that game easily but did it the hard way. It just seemed like an excuse for Lockyer to come up with another clutch play.

Love this Manly/Broncos game. Hodgo really stamped himself as the form centre in the competition with this game.
 
Round 1 09

I remember this game like it was only yesterday. 08 had ended on such a sour note that it felt good just to be at the footy and watching all these new faces run round for their respective sides. Obviously I enjoyed the result at the time, but I remember souring on the game a lot on replay. Both teams were very rusty and since it was the start of the season, the refs were hell-bent on blowing the pea out of the whistle.

At the time, I really loved the new blood initiative. But looking back, Henjak really over-did it and I think it hurt a lot of careers.
 
Yeah F that. We're clearly not ready (not sure when we ever will be) for that shit. I got sad, when at the start Matt Shirvington said "They've been in 7 Grand Finals and won 6 of them". Ugh.
 
I love IQ3.

R1 Broncos v Warriors 04.

Brisbane were still on their 8 game losing streak from the previous season and many predicted they'd fall into a slump and become also-rans.

They finished the season in 3rd place.

There were a lot of key positional switches leading into the game.

Lockyer shifted to 5/8
Berro to centre
Casey McGuire to lock

and a young 17 year old by the name of Karmichael Hunt made his debut at fullback in place of Motu Tony.

There were also a couple of fresh faces in Brett Seymour, Barry Berrigan, Darren Mapp and Sam Thaiday who were virtually new members in the 17.

It was a really scrappy game from both sides. There were well over 30 errors in total with two of them leading directly to tries. The defence was nothing to write home about and the Warriors discipline was atrocious. Still, there were plenty of good signs for the Broncos and a number of the changes Bennett made to the side paid off. In particular, Shaun Berrigan had a sublime game in the centres, scoring two tries and bursting through for three important line-breaks. I was always a fan of Berro and couldn't have been happier when he scored THAT try in the 06 Prelim. I've always wondered whether or not he tried to return to the Broncos. While I doubt it would have been a good signing, I would have been happy to see Berro don the jersey in 2012. At least it would have given me something to smile about.

Next up

Round 4 2000
Broncos v Sharks

Wally sent off.

Dowling to the bin too.

Good game. Started with two wins after beating Penrith the week before. Graving was only playing his second game and scored two on debut a week earlier.

Kittens came in for Joe Kilroy, French back to the bench, Matterson in after missing week 1.Neibling dropped.
 
Re Warriors in '04

Didn't Brad Meyers and Berro get a meat pie each that day?

Pretty sure we came back from like 10 nil or 12 nil down (Warriors second try was length of the field from one of our short kicks - Brent Webb or someone like that).


Sort of remember it in bits and pieces (my first game at the new stadium).
