Finally found hancock at work yesterday he was in a bit of a rush but pretty much echoed our sentiments from the game in one sentence.
Me - Mick what happened ! ( face in palms )
Mick - We lost a grand final in 30 seconds mate
Me - Next year is our's ben hunt for clive churchill im calling it early.
Mick - i hope you're right ( laughs at my optimism )
This game took me to lengths of anger in a short time i haven't experienced before and took days to recover from to the point of not wanting to deck every person that rubbed it in my face all week.
People that watch the games on and off and were just happy that a QLD team would win, or supporters from other teams that see us as selfish to want another so badly when we have won 6 ( i live with an avid sharks fanatic ), They don't understand the people like alot of us who watch every broncs game 3 - 4 times a week and watch all the other games to.
When this team is up we are all up and we feel the highs and lows as if we are playing in the team, i do believe we have one of the most passionate, high football IQ fan bases.
This one was so tough to swallow, but the team we have on our hands right now is going to take us to the top 4 for the foreseeable future and im hedging all my bets that we will be the last team standing next year.
We are the fucking brisbane broncos and we are back. Not just for a flash in the pan all qld grand final every one wanted to see and not just to help thurston win his damn clive churchill.
Hunt and milf are going to dominate the next 5 years at least and take us to the heights the great darren lockyer had us at.
Good times ahead lads, next year will mark a decade since that great night in 06 and i truly believe all the early finals exits and injuries at the wrong times have been leading us to this dynasty.
Win lose or draw i will always love this team, But our premiership window is opening NOW and we must take advantage.
Strap yourselves in guys, we are in for a hell of ride.
