Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2811976, member: 1899"] When the dust settles, it is just another game where the Broncos failed to win it at the clutch. I wonder what the tally has been in Bennett's recent run? Or since Lockyer retired? If you could sum the Broncos up in one phrase, so close yet so far seems incredibly apt. On a smaller note, the young forwards were really impressive in their stint. Pangai Jr, Arrow and Ese'ese all produced strong performances. While I could see an argument that Tevita and Jai had better outings last season, this was easily Herman's best in first grade and if he can build on it the Broncos may have found the prop they've been desperately searching for. And Ben Hunt may have rediscovered his mojo. One game doesn't make a season, but it was his best performance since the prelim against the Roosters and if he goes onto play better football, this game should be seen as the turning point for him, even in defeat. North Queensland paid a heavy price for this victory. Scott, Coote, Winterstein and potentially Taumalolo all spending time on the sidelines. It would have been soul-crushing for them if they had have lost as well, but it's going to be difficult to be a premiership force after losing three experienced front row options in a short space of time (Tamou and Hannant in the off-season, Scott).
