Favourite Non-Memorable Broncos Moments

[ningnangnong]

I'm not talking about the usual stuff like grand final wins, golden point drop-goals, etc, but rather, completely random moments that might not be all that memorable, yet they stick in your brain for some reason. Let's hear 'em!

- Leon Bott backing himself and gunning it down the sideline in Round 3, 2005 against the Roosters. He ended up going into touch, but holy **** was he quick!

- Petero getting sent to the sin bin in 2007 against the Tigers to rapturous applause.

- Tuning in to 4BC online to listen to us obliterate the Eels in early 2005. Didn't have Fox, so had to make do with the radio. Made for great listening... just wave after wave of attack, with Brad Thorn putting in a grubber at one stage I think.

Fat Corey Parker's bald head.

Awesome thread amigo!

Couple that come to mind...

- Chris Walker going off early about scoring a try only to bomb it. Think he got another chance and made damn sure there wasn't going to be a mistake.

- Tallis scoring a try against the Roosters and tossing the ball at Walker after scoring.

- Brett Seymour coming up with one of the best grubber kicks I've seen against the Dragons on debut to set up Kelly in 02.

- Tame "Gary" Tupou destroying Luke Burt in one of the best wins of 2006.

- Karmichael Hunt's step against the Dragons at Suncorp in 04.

- Trent Barrett running past Hunt like he was a statue at Suncorp in 05.

- Grimaldi stripping Hunt of the ball at ANZ in 05. One of the best strips I've seen.

- Petero Civoniceiva's sus try against the Knights in the 06 finals. Looked like a double movement for all money but Petero gave the ref the biggest puppy dog eyes, I think they had to give it at that point.

- Thorn's bomb for Sailor in 2000 to win the game in the dying stages.

Shit somebody stop me.

Kaine Manihera.. I just remember him getting a couple of games on the wing and always being out of position making the last passer look bad because the ball ended up over the sideline.

Palmer Wapau's bomb out of nowhere vs Titans 2009, I remember watching that ball sail up out of the roof at Suncorp.

Tonie Carroll knocking out De Las Heras with his knee.

 

[Super Freak]

I'm unsure on a favourite, but one of them would be Kenny and Sims ripping into the Dragons forward pack, mainly Justin Poore in the 2009 Semi against the Dragons.

Yow Yeh's try saver on Brett Morris in that same game. The speed on the guy...it's not easy to run down Morris. I think he did that after he got knocked out also.

 

[GCBRONCO]

Wendall Sailor playing in the secondrow with headgear, setting up Darren Lockyer with a great offload.

Scott Minto performing like a hurdler in the olympics to score the winning try against the Storm.

Broncos showing up in one of a number of dreadful jerseys over the years in 1998 against the Sea Eagles and getting absolutely flogged.

Petero Civoniceva's debut match against the Bears, was on hand to see that and knew from that moment he was going to be something special.

Andrew Gee fucking up a play the ball that cost us the match against the Roosters.

The day Alfie was no longer a Bronco.

Wondering who would be dumb enough to buy a South Queensland Crushers show bag at the Ekka.

Watching Michael Hancock zig zag around the field and giving the opposition the shits while trying to tackle him.

Andrew Gee kicking a 40/20 and smashing Andrew Johns.

I was one of those people..

I just liked the name.

Fair enough, nothing personal meant just thought the side was a joke from the get go.

Agreed.

They were a joke.

It was a pretty dumb decision to buy the showbag. It was a terrible showbag.

Probably the best game both of them ever had, just brutalised the Dragons pack. The team bus going down Caxton street really fired the whole team up that night.

 

[Morkel]

Copley playing a full game of NYC, then starting for the NRL team in jersey #10. IIRC they wanted Frei (would have been his only NRL appearance if he played) but he'd been injured.

 

[Broncoman]

When a guy named Steve Irwin played. I remember the first Rugby League game in 2003 I used to play Steve Irwin a lot just because I loved the Croc Hunter so much.

 

[Porthoz]

I remember that Palmer Wapau bomb... that was a fucking rocket!

Also remember the Civo puppy eyes, he had one of those against the Panthers too if memory serves.

 

[Super Freak]

The Lockyer dropout in the Knights Semi.

It went 60 metres, and the Knights player dropped it.

 

[ningnangnong]

Keep 'em coming guys, some great memories in here!

 

[vertigo]

Henjak's reactions during that game against the Raiders in 2009.

He was sitting outside the coaches box looking like he was being stabbed by some invisible person, eventually he had enough and slammed the door behind him as he went down to the dressing rooms to prepare himself for the spray he unleashed on them.

Winning seven games straight after that kinda made up for it.

And then sat there and sulked about it

- Tallis vs Dogs in 04, Brisbane were putting in a hell of a fight despite losing Locky, forced a goal-line drop-out when Gordie took the ball before stepping over the line. Basically lost us the game.

- vs Penrith in 06, Locky had been taken off for an early mark so Webby and Civo decided to show their skills with an inside ball which eventually lead to points. To make the situation even more bizarre, Hodgo nailed a pretty difficult conversion and just shrugged like it was no big thing.

- Tate's chip and chase try against Canterbury in 03. We shut them out that night in an awesome performance.

- Carl Webb smashing Badger on his way to the try line in 04.

- Costigan smashing Kimmorley with the ball in hand in 06. Was like Yow Yeh on Marshall in 2011.

- Te'o scoring one of the best tries in Broncos history against the Panthers in 09. Was sort of the start of our late season run and was one of those ones that was so good, the refs just gave it although Te'o foot came awfully close to the sideline.

- Berro attempting to stop a try by slide-kicking Freddy...and Freddy thinking it was a good play in hindsight

- Hodgo's remarkable effort to get the ball back in the field of play against the Chooks in 07. In a game where not a whole lot happened, Hodgo took this ball that was going to force him over the sideline, so he has the presence of mind to throwing it up in the air, collect it and come back in. Turned out to be against the rules, but was awesome in that moment.

- Karmichael Hunt's big shot on Ruben Wiki as a half in 07.

- Hunt trying to do the same thing to MoiMoi in 09 and getting destroyed.

- Kemp turning defence into attack against Manly, taking a daring chip kick inside his own half and racing away to score a scintillating try.
