I forgot that Ashley Harrison played in that era of the Broncs.
 
This was close to being the most embarrassing loss in club history.

Not necessarily because Cronulla were a bad team. The Sharks were coming off a horrific loss which many at the time presumed was them running out of gas, but the other side of the coin, which turned out to be true was that it was a dead rubber and Cronulla had their eyes on this game. Rather, the Broncos were making a lot of uncharacteristic mistakes and to have four tries put on them was unfathomable.

It was one of the best things to happen to them because it forced them to bunker down and play their best football which is what they did for the rest of the finals series. They would go onto grind both Parramatta and Sydney out of their respective games and only run as many plays as they had to.
 
Tune in Friday at 7:30PM to watch the original greatest finals comeback in Broncos history.





 
Don’t forget to tune in tonight at 7:30!
