Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3650510, member: 1899"] That's right and it seems to line up with why I was so annoyed with the Warrior fixture. Of all the Origin affected games, they picked that one. That was the one tip I was happy to make in the pre-season, but like every Warriors tip, it turned out wrong. It wasn't long after that 66-0 Newcastle game which has to be the most obvious example of playing a team into form. I completely forgot the Ethan Quai-Ward game followed suit (and I didn't think he looked THAT bad, but somehow the Dogs were able to wash their hands of him despite having another year on his contract). I remember being nervous ahead of the Bulldogs game because the Broncos had just come off the loss to the Titans and suffered a few setbacks in the process. It seemed like the wheels could come off just like they did in 2019 and now in 2024. Fortunately Reynolds was on song and they had a few younger players who were primed - if only Te Kura was ready. We saw exactly what Mozer could do when he got his shot (albeit, running at Sloan seemed like the most obvious play in the history of Rugby League). That's right, it turned what had been such a tense game into a big emphatic win ahead of the inaugural Battle of Brisbane. It was also the game where Cobbo was denied a try for tapping the ball forward on the same patch of dirt Jamie Lyon did it in the infamous torso try game. I believe they ammended that rule as well - we were trying to figure out what they were talking about in the pre-season and [USER=9291]@Big Del[/USER] brought it up. Anyways, second half rolled around, Farnworth started lifting the tempo in the ruck and the Broncos eventually finished over the top. It looked like the Broncos were going to do the same thing to the Raiders in that other infamous game where Rapana head-slammed Capewell into the ground and then called for an HIA...only to earn a game deciding penalty towards the end. Some good times, hopefully the Broncos can keep making good memories. This whole season has been a major blur by comparison. [/QUOTE]
