Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2702564, member: 1899"] I've got a replay of the game somewhere, been meaning to check it out. Out of all the times the Broncos were eliminated, this was by far the most acceptable. I wasn't grinning ear to ear or anything like that, but at least it was a fairytale moment for a club that didn't have many in their favour. Besides, after the Bulldogs game, I knew the Broncos were sitting ducks. I still regard 2004 as one of the better non-premiership seasons for the Broncos. Considering a lot of experts had the Broncos missing the Top 8, Brisbane lost their best halfback and hooker yet still finished 3rd was an incredible achievement. Further for a 17 year old to take the competition by storm was ridiculous. I really think this period from 2004-07 really spoiled fans on rookies. In a limited time span we were exposed to guys like Sonny Bill Williams, Karmichael Hunt, Greg Inglis, Israel Folau & Jarryd Hayne who were all freak-ish from 17-19 years old. Even guys like Benji Marshall and Billy Slater debuted around this time. Nowadays, players can't even debut at Karmichael's age, let alone have the opportunity to dominate like he did. [/QUOTE]
