Message: [QUOTE="Broncoman, post: 2675305, member: 7803"] That was a very interesting game to watch. I remember reading Bennett's memoir about it and he was very pissed of at Harrigan's referring and said how disappointing it was that a referee played such a part in the result. When I watched that game I thought that the Roosters rushing defense and some luck which went Easts way was the difference between the two teams in the end. The Broncos were hammered in the penalty count by 8-2 as Pete put it but apart from 2 calls I thought most of the penalties were fair enough and weren't as bad as what I thought they would be. Controversial game but not as controversial as I thought it would be. I have a faint memory of watching this game as a young kid and being so young at the time I didn't really notice the controversy, not noticing all the controversial moments in games and across the code in general makes watching games as a young kid so much fun. Personally that Roosters team from 2002-2004 is the best club side I've seen in my time watching Rugby League. They made 3 consecutive Grand Finals and the team contained some of the best modern day players. To perform at such a high level consistently in this day and age in Rugby League deserves all the credit it gets. (The Storm from 2006-2009 don't make the cut because that team was illegal).
