Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2666752, member: 1899"] I remember those four games actually. The first was after an Origin and it was consoling to see us beat one of the best teams in a really tight game. We wouldn't win another game at Suncorp all year, so it was nice to beat the Chooks, especially after Gordie's theatrics at Walker. Not sure why, but as a Broncos fan I loved Gordie giving it to Walker. It was like 'remember Origin 1 2001? I sure don't *throws the footy at his head* In 2005 we were surprisingly competitive but we were lambs to the slaughter then and it just seemed like everything that could go wrong did. The game was in the balance until Minichiello scored one of the best tries of 2005 off the kick off. If you watched that, you can see why many people considered him the best fullback in the game during that period. Just classy, classy stuff. 2010 was terrible. The Roosters had a few late omissions so we went into the games as favourites and got completely ambushed by the Roosters who were absolutely on from the opening whistle. We finally got a chance to come back at them, but then we got some really dodgy try awarded to Folau, they got a short kick off and won. It was a lot like the 2014 game in that regard. It looked like we had it won and then they just got the short kick off to steal it. I wasn't as upset about losing this game, honestly went into it with a 'nothing to lose' mind-set and we nearly pulled it off. Unfortunately a few brain fades cost us and the Chooks just had too many weapons for us to contain. Considering the circumstances, I was surprisingly fine with the loss and in a lot of ways, would be fine with a similar effort next week. [/QUOTE]
