Brisbane Broncos v Sydney Roosters | 2002 Prelim Final | Full Match Replay | NRL Throwback

The Broncos had made it to the Grand Final qualifier courtesy of a 24-14 win over the Eels in week one of the finals, and while the Roosters had taken the long road - they were looking hot after seven wins on the trot.
Would the retiring Allan Langer make it to his fifth Grand Final, or would new Roosters mentor Ricky Stuart take the Tricolours to the big dance during his rookie year?

Footy was much more unpredictable back then. Way too structured these days

0:26 Alfie’s last game. I often wonder what would have happened if Brisbane had brought in an actual 5/8 to play alongside Alfie that year. Berrigan was a running 5/8 and Alfie did better with ball player 5/8s. Berrigan would have shone with John’s or Stuart. Matty Johns would have shone with Alfie.

Broncos were the higher seed, had the week off and had to play their Prelim in Sydney at the home ground of the Roosters no less. Aint no Donkeys fan but that was flat out wrong back in the day. Thank goodness it's fixed now.

It's weird seeing a team with Brett Mullins and Anthony Minichiello in the lineup and neither of them are at fullback

[@crazycos6428]

Proves how good Phillips is

[@dalewilson9602]

​@@crazycos6428proves mullins was past his prime & mini was not at his peak yet....

[@crazycos6428]

@@dalewilson9602Mullins did well to win a premiership past his prime. Mini's career was at its infancy. Moved to fullback when Phillips retired. The rest is history.

The most corrupt officiating of any match ever, proven by where the ref went one year later

[@gavinmontgomery6054]

Harrigan was a bloody shocking Cheat of a Ref.

[@nichobee]
