Qualifying Final - Broncos vs Cowboys

[Browny]

There was a set early where he was first tackler on our forwards. Had to fatigue him

Yeah he did struggle a bit tonight. I do think we targeted him quite a bit though,which at needed to. I wonder if they'd have been better starting Ray and bringing Jake on when the game opens up a little.

In fairness, he's had a belter of a year,and I expect he'll continue to improve. Good on him, it's good to see him making the most of his opportunity up there.

Yeah I agree. He'll probably be better next week as a result of this game. If he does start off the bench though it does relegate him to an Nikko style impact player. Didn't Nikko have some impact tonight.

@Big Pete trivia question is Jordan Drew the 200th player for the Broncos?

Depends who's asking the question.

The NRL? Jordan Drew.

Brisbane Broncos? Jake Granville.

Why's that?

Is there a pre-season trial debut that's not counted as an NRL match, but we consider it first grade?

That's right mate, too good.

The Broncos used to count pre-season and mid-season competition players in their all-time roster.

So Peter Sinclair, Mark Meskell and Todd Miller were counted as Broncos by the club.

Very interesting!

Side note, I envy you folks with your memory, I'd never be able to remember those kinds of stats/facts. IP addresses and other useless numbers, no problem though!

Having a decent Rugby League book/magazine collection helps too. :winky:

Blowing my own cover, but I had no clue who the unofficial Broncos were.
