Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3122317, member: 1899"] For such a low scoring game, it was actually a very comfortable win for the Broncos. They should have had more points on the board but just couldn't find that extra pass and the Chooks did well to hold on. A lot of pundits credit Phillips who came up with half a dozen try savers, but a lot of them were pretty easy asks, especially for a first grade fullback. The Broncos would have ramped home their advantage if they didn't lose Ikin early in the second half. I remember it being a really ugly tackle from Bonetti and was shocked he was able to stay on the field. Unlimited interchanges were nuts, the nine commentary team brings it up at one point and it's like 42 interchanges vs. 39, crazy. After the game, Gus tried to talk down the Broncos season and labelled it a weak competition. The boys apparently called into one of his radio shows and gave him a gobful while they were celebrating their win. Gus was filthy about losing to the Broncos two years prior and being denied a home final despite being in the winners bracket. He didn't say anything when the Broncos found themselves in a similar situation in 02. [/QUOTE]
