Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2687198, member: 1899"] [B]Round 10 2004 Brisbane Broncos vs Newcastle Knights[/B] Really entertaining game. Not one for the coaches or the purists but in terms of entertainment the game had it all. I can definitely understand why the Knights hold the win in such high regard. Not only did they enter the game without key personnel, they lost two of their big names (Mark Hughes and Ben Kennedy) quite early in the contest. That should have cost them the game right then and there. However they hung on and ultimately finished on top. I remember being pretty livid with the result at the time. I hated losing to the Knights back then, but I didn't realise how bad a loss this was. Not only did the Broncos get beaten by an understrength Knights outfit, they bombed opportunity after opportunity with some really poor footy. The lowlight was watching Kelly play hooker because Bennett hadn't come up with a proper replacement. It highlighted how skinny the Broncos were at the time but it was just so embarrassing. Especially since Kelly shouldn't have even been at the club at the time and was just relying on his speed. I thought things were pretty dire with Hoffman/Maranta and Vidot/Copley but they don't compare with those two. Still as frustrating as it would have been, time has been pretty kind and it's cool to see Tallis, Costigan and TC lay some shots on and Hunt come up with some skillful moments. [/QUOTE]
