Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2612926, member: 1899"] For those with good memories, this was the game where the Dogs managed to snare a draw in the dying stages of the game by winning the scrum against the feed before Sherwin put through a pin-point grubber kick to find El Masri trailing in the middle of the field. Watching a game like this really puts the good ol' days into perspective. While there were qualities about that side that made the Broncos into one of the most consistent clubs in the competition, they weren't without their faults and in this case, the Broncos just couldn't adjust to the condition. I believe they made something like 15 errors all up and really basic ones too that would have earned them all sorts of grief on here back in the day. With that said, the 2002 version of the Brisbane Broncos ranks right up there as one of the favourite for fans and it's easy to see why. The side was just very well balanced across the park and it seemed like everyone brought something to the table. Whether it was Darren Lockyer and his fantastic long distance kicking or passing game. Or Tuqiri, Tate, Kelley or Walker with their speed. Berrigan with his support play. Langer with his unique short distance kicking game and ability to jink inside defenders and create chances very few players could ever create. Webby, Meyers & Civoniceiva to ruck the ball up. Lee, Gee & Harrison to throw the ball around. Carlaw & Tallis to pick out gaps in the fringes. And you get the drill, on it's day, a very exciting team to watch and there were flashes of it here. As a fan of the current Broncos, you almost wonder if the coaching staff go through the old tapes and pull out ideas on how to get the most out of their players. While I don't think Hunt would be as effective as Alfie at it, the thought of using him more and picking gaps for Barba to run through in the middle of the field would surely be a more effective way to use a running five eighth.
