@FOXNRL: Get comfortable @brisbanebroncos fans because we're about to show 10 hours of classic Brisbane @NRL match highlights on FS1 #NRL #Broncos

Yeah noticed this yesterday when they did the Dragons marathon, good way to ease NRL blueballs I guess.

 

[BroncosAlways]

Fucking kidding me. Foxtel broke down on Friday and won't be fixed til tomorrow.

It would have been better if it were full games, but highlights are still good.

Can someone please record this then put it on Youtube?

If we set up a Patreon for BHQ, we could buy a DV-R.

Although, I don't think it'd be wise to authorise any unofficial releases...

This has been a really fun marathon by the by. I'd completely forgotten about the Panthers 2000 game and had no idea why it was selected over say the 2002 game against Newcastle. Turns out, this was the game where Walker made a clean break, starting wagging his finger in the air and then just bombed it. :laugh:

I have no other recollection of this game. I would have been stoke with this win, the Round 8 loss against Penrith broke my heart that year. I wanted a perfect season dammit!

Walker scores the try he should have had earlier supporting Lockyer back on the inside - and does everything to make sure he scores it, gently placing it down with all sorts of humility.

Walker's combination with Lockyer is severely underrated.

 

[Super Freak]

The 2007 game against Gold Coast, that's the only one I wanted to see.

 

[Big Pete]

[MENTION=8536]Super Freak[/MENTION] it's on at 12am

 

[pennywisealfie]

Pissed I don't have Foxtel currently :(

 

[Super Freak]

BANG! Amos got fucked up!

 

[Super Freak]

Hodges limping off the field because of a hamstring injury... That was a common sight at that time..

 

[Big Pete]

The last 10 minutes of this 07 Titans game has been amazing.

Wow, never realised how close Locky came to throwing an intercept right before FT.

 

[Super Freak]

That was a great finish to the game.

Taylor's try and Lockyer's incredible field goal. Unbelievable stuff.

 

[Huge]

The one that stood out for me was Michael Hancock scoring in 1993 against the Dogs......metres offside but the downtown rules were a bit different back then. I think it was O'Neills 5 th tackle kick and Hancock was out wide 3-4 metres offside, races through and gets the ball off Brett Dallas's fumble after an extremely unlucky bounce...sure wouldn't stand today

 

[Super Freak]

That try would still stand today.

Hancock was outside the 10 and the opposition player played at the ball and didn't retain possession.

Hilder scored a try against Storm in the 2013 semi despite being offside from the kick. It was awarded because he remained outside the 10 when Slater played at the ball and dropped it.

I'm pretty sure the rule was the same back then.

2006 Prelim final #1 against the Bulldogs on Foxsports1 now....
