Shane Webcke

[Nashy]

Was Awesome.

And that's all I have to say about that.

 

[KingWebcke]

I don't think I've ever been as happy in my life as when I read this thread.

 

[Nashy]

This thread is officially BroncosHQ's best thread. Ever.

Webcke.

 

[Broncoman]

One of the greatest players to ever wear a Broncos jersey and a true inspiration to every Rugby League player. So proud that he wore a Broncos jersey.

I didn't follow league before 2008, tell me what kind of prop he was in your view.

 

[theshed]

Remember that time he played a grand final with a heavily strapped broken arm?

I don't even know if it was a real event of if I made it up in my head as a child. Don't ruin it for me if I did.

 

[Nashy]

He certainly did.

Fridge with a head.
Brick shithouse with legs.

And he had an offload.

 

[Morkel]

I still remember his last hit-up like it was yesterday. After the field goal that won the '06 GF. Ran straight in to 3 or 4 defenders, smashed Scott Hill who tumbled back about 5 metres.

At the time, just after they beat the Bulldogs the game before, the vision of him trudging barefoot up to the commentary box was awesome. Pity that looking back it may have been a stunt to initiate him in to the news crew.

 

[LittleDavey]

Can we get him back for next year? Maybe he can have some of those..what do you call them, poptarts? That should do it..

Ran straight, hard and often.

 

[LittleDavey]

Ran straight, hard and often.

And hit just as hard in defence. I vividly remember opposition players changing their line to avoid running at him. And a heart bigger than his body, he lived and breathed the Broncos and Maroons. MACHINE.

 

[Waynesaurus]

I hoping Mcguire continues to improve and becomes our next Webcke.

 

[Socnorb]

Ran straight, hard and often.

It was said by those who played with and against him that his last hit up of the game was of the same intensity as the first. Bronco hero.

That hit up is one of my favourite broncos moments

 

[Nashy]

Why the hell hasn't anyone got thta on YouTube. I am saddened by the lack of Webcke.

"Here he is.... Shane Webcke!!! <boooom> ... Poor Scott Hill".

I love the emotion he displayed in the on-field interview after winning '06. Gives you goosebumps and makes you almost shed a tear. The perfect ending.
