Cheers Magpie,

Did O'Donnell and Ken take any part in the game?

Alex I like your handle that you use "Alex Bozinovski'.
But wondering why you did'nt include your middle name as well?? ;-)
Or perhap's even an address. :lol: :lol:

Alex dont take me for granted but I get the feeling at the start of 2000, for some reason they implemented a 6 interchange rule - Might of been because of the early start to the year (still in summer) , because of the olympics.

i'm pretty sure ken played because he had a chance for a field goal and put in a grubber :evil:
sounds like something we would still do today

 

[Gobbso]

Actually Holla you're right and your wrong. Kenny, took part in the 2nd half, when he replaced Hoppa on the right wing when he torn his tricep mid way through the 1st half. The field goal incident you are referring too was a blunder by Craig Field and Adam Nable. Field ran it right, when he had an ample opportunities to win the game. It was Kevin McGuinness in waiting for the field goal attempt, when Adam Nable hesitated with the pass to Buddha and then decided to put a grubber quick in, which was cleaned up by Lote Tiquiri for the Broncos.

Field won us alot of games that year, great little player.

We could actually look potent in attack that year.

What id do for a Shne Walker, Jason Lowrie or Mark Stimson now as well.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Argh..... Bloody Nable!!! We should have won that game. 18-0 up at one stage.

 

[_A_J_Gray_]

It was not Fields fault!

It was the third tackle and there was still 25 seconds to go!

100% Adam Nables Fault.

I was 16 & we choked after round 15 and didnt recover. i prefer now, atleast i can go to the pub and get wasted and forget how bad we are.

Yep thats exactly how it happened. Worst play ever by Nable!! No idea why he was even in the side!

Not a bad team, ey

how do u recon they would go against a team nowdays. (unsing 2000 form, not 2004 form)

i recon they would be top 8 stuff,

 

[Trollhammaren]

For sure top 8. I'm still baffled how we didn't make the 8. We were unlucky.

We lost a few biggish forwards mid season which hurt us, not to mention the Penrith loss which just devastated the side.

We had a tremendous side who if lacked one thing - was only a reasonable five eigth to just take some pressure off Field.

 

[Eye of the Tiger]

thanks for the site holla

god how they where rong bout IN season 2000, young Luke O’Donnell and Joel Caine proved to everyone what bright futures they have. Caine’s kicking in the 2nd half of the season was mind boggling to say the least (he wasn’t top scorer for nothing) and O’Donnell, well, his Test and Origin debuts are only a matter of time away

I thought Ben Duckworth went well in his few games there

Shame he could never stay on the field for more than 3 games!
