Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 3280898, member: 1899"] In retrospect, the Broncos were finished the moment an understrength Eels outfit put 50 on them at home. They were only two weeks out from the finals, that was an opportunity to make a statement and they blew it. The following week Darius suffers a hamstring injury that would ruin the end of his career making their spine really unsettled into the final. They did well to nearly snatch victory from the Roosters, but I think that said more about Sydney's complacency at the time. They were headed to a comfortable victory until Blake Ferguson came up with some horrible mistakes to invite Brisbane back into the contest. You're right about the Panthers game. I would suggest the Storm Prelim Final was a lot closer than the scores would suggest. Melbourne only had their noses in front for the first 60 minutes. Their one try was against the run of play and Brisbane were more than meeting them in the arm wrestle. I believe they received all the 50/50 calls including a blatant knock on from Slater at the back which would have provided the Broncos with an opportunity. Regardless, Brisbane didn't take their opportunities and Melbourne ran away with it in the end. [/QUOTE]
