The thing about 98 is that the Broncos were favourites to win the comp. Yes we beat em but they were favourites, by a mile. We were never going to win next week. 98 hurts more than it should because it was against the dogs.
No one has mentioned the 2000 prelim we lost. That's because the Broncos were unbackable favourites so it don't hurt so bad.
But. In 1999 we were favourites to win the comp, and after the saints went down we were unbackable favourites to win the comp in 2005. Same in 2001.
For me. When your favourites to win the comp in the 2nd last week of the comp, the expectation is that you will win the comp. In 2005 you could see in the body language that day we were going down and we didn't have Hindy or Fui. In 2001 it was over fairly early too. So I look back and say at the end of the day the other side deserved to win.
But in 1999 we were f$cking robbed by that f$cken c$ck smoker Harrigan for doing nothing about that dirty f$cken Kearney doing high shots on Smith all night. And then blowing Burt for a knock on that was a strip which led to the match winning try.
I can't f$cking believe he is the eels coach and the c%ck smoker is the refs boss. And everyone gets on this site and says how great he is. UNBELIEVABLE.
It is a very sad joke.
