Well Done Brisbane Broncos, Thank you Reece Walsh - You're DA MAN, three final matches in a row, coming from 16 points, 14 points and 10 points down to win by 1, 2 and 4 points. I am totally speechless, lost my voice in the Pub and very grateful and thankful.

But it was truly a team efforts too, many players had stood up where it counted:

Redemption for Bunny Hunt, the field goal he kicked in Canberra to put Broncos into the pre-lim and with the all important week off - payback for the drop ball on kick off in the 2015 GF loss to Thurston's field goal thereafter in the golden point.

Redemption for Captain Reynolds, the sideline conversion he kicked in Suncorp to eliminate the 4 times Premier Panthers and lead Broncos into the Grand Final surely made up for the goal he missed when Panthers won their first.

Funny thing is, both Hunt and Reynolds (with 700+ NRL games between them) were on the sideline when the "baby Broncos" fought hard to defeat the Storms and won their first Premiership in 19 long years.

You could not have written a more dramatic and more heart warming script !


My report card: you can do the sum for what I collected on Sunday night based on the above, for a small time punter, I think I did good, riding the Broncos/Walsh train into the sunshine and moonlight. I couldn't believe my luck when most of the try scorers I have been backing throughout the years and in recent games had all scored in the GF!!

One ticket especially worthy of a mention was the double/double I placed on the NRLW/NRL: Broncos 1-12, Upton try on to Broncos 1-12, Walsh try @$20.00


Hope all you Queenslanders out there had a great Sunday evening and win big - you all should have - if you had footy bet.........................haha


Go Broncos

Go Queensland

Until next seasons.


Cheers




ps. pity the Mrs is watching so tight lately and no chance to spend my winnings.................lol

Nice punt you got!
I got up on a multi, Broncos to win, Walsh to score and Walsh for the medal. Only if I had put more on there aye. Good weekend nonetheless!

That jinking, fending, bulldozing try by Walsh from 30 metres must have been like some of the great ones talked about from the 50s and 60s. As an athlete it must have felt great for Walsh to do it.

Missing your reviews too !

Ps. What about your years of browsing history. Any risk of your good wife seeing that?

Many of the commentators had declared what Walsh did in the GF was the most "Completed" performances they have ever seen. For both end of the field: he scored one himself and set up 3 others. saved a couple of tries especially his tackle on Papen right in the last 30 seconds which could have seen the Storm did a "Queensland" on the Broncos and undid everything Walsh has done on the night.

And Walsh had done it three matches in a row coming from behind: 16 points behind vs the Raiders, 14 points vs the Panthers and 10 points vs the Storm. What a game and what a player.

The scary thing is, he is only 23 !! if he stays fit and healthy, sky is the limit.

Really looking forward to see if he can keep that up in the Kangaroo Tours in England.


Go Walsheeee !

Go Queensland !

I don't use my phone to visit the forum anymore, if I did, I deleted the history right after.

Mrs is watching me very closely, got to be careful, as I am approaching retirement, last thing I want is becoming a lonely man...............lol


Did treat her to some nice restaurants over the long weekend and enjoyed the winnings..............haha

It's Cup time again and raining in Melbourne, will go through the Cup field and share my tips on the big one later.

just for an entree in the eve of the Cup, take a look at Celine Gaudray, the second lady jockey in this year's field, I did win on her when she won the Geelong Cup two weeks ago and will put $5 each way on her horse 23. Torranzino @$31 - an outside chance only.

This video from Racing.com show case her fit lady jockey body around 54 kg (her usual weight - but will get down to 51kg on cup day), take a look and see if you like what you see (me I like her tightly wrapped C Cups............haha)
