Was that the last time we beat the Storm? :001_tt2:

No, we beat them at Suncorp a few years ago with Izzy scoring one of his trademark tries. 14-10 or thereabouts, I think.

Who cares about the Storm, more about Webcke!
One of my all time favourite players. So much heart.
Not enough props like Webcke out there today, maybe that's because the game has changed or whatever, but there's nothing better than watching a prop in full flight running straight and running hard, just like Webcke used to do. Didn't matter what minute of the match it was, what the score was, how tired he was - he always made himself available for a run.
Absolute legend. Players like him have made the Broncos the club they are, although we seem to be moving further away from that (but that's for another thread).

Webcke made me proud to be a Broncos supporter.
Not only was he a quality player, he was also a fantastic person off the field - constantly setting a great example for footy players everywhere.
Webcke is a difficult player to describe to newcomers. He didn't revolutionise the front row game or have an extradinary highlights reel - he was just ridiculously consistent & tough.
On the flipside, the guy couldn't fight to save himself (lol Phil Bailey) and was always good for one knock on a game. Still, you could forgive him because he'd make god damn sure that the opposition would pay for his indiscretions.
Damn I wish I had some old Broncos games to watch now. 2001-02 Webby would be just the tonic after this season.

Yep
Was probably the club's greatest premiership ever, a team that was down and out, in a form slump and slammed in the media and suffered a defeat in the first week of the finals came back from nowhere to claim the premiership in a high-quality grand final.
That grand final night was one of the greatest nights of my life, how I would love to experience it again.

You could never question the heart of Shane Webcke. I miss that most about him, looking at the team sheet, seeing number 8 and thinking no worries there.

Finally a good 2006 GF video without shitty music over the top.
7 years later and probably my 200th view of the game and I still sit their with tears in my eyes.

One of the best ever. Retired a Premiership champion which he absolutely deserved. Tough as nails and a great bloke.
