Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2113885, member: 1764"] Hmmm, generally one team or the other was depleted or struggling whenever they met. Or just plain played crap and got smashed. Bit of the history (I did have to look all the scores up, I'm not a freak!!!): 1990: Red hot Canberra flogged the Broncos in the preliminary final, Wally's last game with the club, 32-4 or something. Canberra went on and did the job in the big one. Earlier in the year both teams were red hot and the Broncos pipped them 22-20 at Lang Park. Love to see highlights of that game! 1991: Broncos beat Canberra 26-12 at Lang Park in round 3. Repeated the dose 18-8 at Bruce Stadium in round 18. Yet there weren't too many wins in between for the Broncos and so they failed to make the finals while Canberra were knocked off in the Grand Final by Penrith...go figure. 1992: Canberra was in a bit of a rut that year, Broncos beat them 24-16 at Canberra, and 28-12 at Lang Park....don't know how memorable the games were. 1993: Broncos and Canberra fought out a really close game at ANZ Stadium early in the season, Broncos winning 12-10. First win at ANZ Stadium too. Later in the year, Canberra smashed us 20-4 at Bruce Stadium. 1994: Canberra comfortably beat a struggling Brisbane at Bruce Stadium, didn't play at ANZ. Meninga retired that year. The clashes then sort of faded: 1995: "Kick and chase by Mullins, kick and chase again by Mullins, is this going to be a miracle? Oh it is a miracle". *Sob* Canberra flogged us 26-0 or something. Pipped us in a titanic finals game at Lang Park too, 14-8. 1996: Broncos flogged Canberra 50-16 at ANZ Stadium, and that ended the really good games IMO. We never got the "Dream grand final" in 1993 thanks to Ricky Stuart breaking his leg late in the season. Canberra didn't win another game. We can only imagine what it would've been like if Canberra did have Ricky Stuart on deck... [/QUOTE]
