Favourite Broncos Tries?

[Big Pete]

After last week's phenomenal effort I thought we needed a thread to celebrate and discuss some of the best Broncos tries in history and some of our favourites.

Videos and obscurities encouraged.

For those who missed it.

What was everybody's reaction?

I held my brother from the moment Boyd put Hunt on the outside and let out the biggest YES since Cronk kicked the field goal in Origin III 2012.

So good, this season is already my favourite year since Wayne left.

Don't have a video but I remember running every step with Denan Kemp against the eels to win the game. My gf was in shock as I ran around the living room not being able to speak properly cause I was in shock haha

Reaction:

I jumped out of my chair and yelled "Wooooooooooo, let's go baby", luckily I was home alone.

Still my favourite, hands down.

Yeah, the Kemp try!

But last weekend's Maranta one is high up there, and I was glad it was just on half time, because I needed the time to clean up all the jizz!

I've got a few that I have footage of. I'm going to upload them.

But there is one try from a game I don't have. I can't quite remember it clearly so maybe someone else can help me.

It was years back, when Barry Berrigan was playing as a hooker.

We were going up against the Tigers at Suncorp I believe.. On a Sunday afternoon. I think it was the Tigers.

Anyway, Broncos were about 30-40 metres out and they scored a brilliant try going up the middle just passing it around.

Does anyone remember that try or am I remembering it wrong?

Poor Denan never wanted to leave Brisbane but was forced on, if he stayed initially and didn't have distractions like moving clubs etc I reckon he would have been a QLD winger for sure, wasted talent.

Prelim Final 2006 - Shaun Berrigan
The try that kept Brisbane alive. At 20-6, all I wanted Brisbane to do was score an amazing try and I didn't have to wait too long. Hodges beats about 4 defenders, finds Berro who just keeps the legs pumping before he basically slides on his neck to plant the ball over. Loved it and it was worth way more than six points, it swung the momentum of the game.

Round 2 2009 - Israel Folau.
Everybody wondered when they'd see the Broncos utilise Folau's ability in the air but nobody knew how picture-esque it would look. As per usual, the Storm were defending their line valiantly, it didn't look like cracking until the Broncos put through a cross-field kick that Folau plucked and placed as easy as you'd like. And that's why Izzy was so good. Most players would have struggled to even get a hand on it, Folau just made it look so easy.

Round 20 2009 - Dale Copley
My favourite consolation try of all time. Brisbane had 34 put on them yet I came away from this game really happy because Hodges came up with one of the slickest dummy half plays I've ever seen. The crazy this is, the move worked 5 years later!

Round 1 2010 - Denan Kemp
This thread is going to be another Kemp love-in, so when in Rome! This was one of my favourites because I felt like it summarized 2010 really well. Young Matty Gillett gets a ball out to Lockyer, who puts Folau on the outside who finds Kemp who just tears down the sideline and scores. As he celebrates he grabs his emblem to remind everyone that this is his home. In a long season, this was an easy highlight.

Round 3 2011 - Justin Hodges
A lot of conjecture about how Hodges would go after he missed the entire 2010 season and here he was pushing off Greg Bird to score the match winner in a tense local derby against the Titans.

I'll raise you this one. My favourite....

Our first try v Dragons this year was a sweet set play, beautifully executed, all that makes a great try just that.

Wish I knew how to find the video

 

[Super Freak]

Just on Denan Kemp..

Whenever people talk about his tries, no one ever mentions his last two tries of 2008.

7:24

One of the best tries we scored that season and one of my favorites.

Swung the momentum our way and we ended up going on with it and beating the Roosters..

I also loved his try against the Storm. He went straight through the best defensive side with such ease..

 

[rnabokov]

Kemp positioning himself to take the pass and score was a joy to watch. Such a very, very good winger, I still can't believe he just faded away.

 

[rnabokov]

... and because I want to see this scoreline on Friday night, apart from being a Gillett fan:

 

[rnabokov]

Ok, I can't resist. We've had a Kemp-fest so I'll start a Gillett-fest. Some very good team tries in this. And Gillett sure can run some nice lines when there's a play on. Should be more of it.




I'll leave quietly now ....
