POST GAME [PREMIERS, 2025] Broncos vs Storm

So.... what I have been asking myself is... was McGuire gaming the referees during the season? The second Bulldogs game and Sharks game showed that once you're a fair bit behind on the scoreboard, the refs will massage you back in to the contest. It would be a bold strategy, allowing yourselves to get 2-3 tries behind on the scoreboard, but it would allow a team to conserve energy and then go balls-out to finish over the top, with the refs behind you. These earlier games may have been the litmus test and they fully embraced it during the finals.

That would take a nutsack the size of a bean bag to pull off

I swear the Walsh try gets better every time you see it. The aerial vision is something else. I don't know if Walsh will get enough credit for his footy IQ tbh.

I still don’t know what Wishart was trying to do. If Walsh didn’t see it coming and duck, Wishart’s swinging arm hits him square in the nose and likely gives away a penalty try
 
He ends up getting a whack in the face himself when ol' mate kisses the post pad, probably wanted to challenge it.

There were 3 big ones if I remember correctly. Slater being called as going over the sideline (replays showed he didn't), King's no try, called a knock on by the video ref, even though it appeared to be precisely sideways which should be (according to the rules of the time) benefit-of-the-doubt to the try scorer. And I think a clear obstruction one play before we scored a try?

Even at the time I was a little uneasy about winning a premiership that way, but as 19 years went by, boy have I cherished that one.

They were cheating the cap. **** them, they should have had more 50/50 calls go against them for the next 20 years.

I keep laughing at the thought that somewhere in a coffee shop in melbourne this morning there's a goofy winger waiting on his hot chocolate and dreaming of being home in sunny Brisbane while watching that try and cursing paps while mumbling to himself '....and I came down here for less money too!!!"
 
Had some time to kill tonight so why not flick through the grand final again.. here’s a couple of crowd screenshots -

When the full time whistle went I was hugging randoms left right and centre lmao, the guy next to me was a real Madrid fan from spain who was on holiday here and he said this was crazy lol, probably helped that the entire section i was at was basically 99% broncos fans.

The stadium allowing Full strength Beers compared to last time definitely contributed to how smashed I was watching it lol.
 
I watched it with my best mate in the heartland of the enemy. We made so much noise the neighbours were death staring us and when we won we both shouldered each other in the teeth in the biggest man hug of all time. I’ve still got loose front teeth and so does he…worth it!
