Lost 5 in a row heading into the finals, belted the Knights and ruined Andrew John's NRL farewell, came back from a 20-6 Half-time score against the Bulldogs to win 20-37, and went on to beat the favorites in the grand final. This was Wayne Bennette's masterpiece and Darren Lockyer orchestrated it. 🔥🙏🏾💪🏾

Back when the broncos weren't a joke 😂

[@MisterPolitical1]

Andrew Johns retired in 2007

[@MisterPolitical1]

Andrew Johns played his last 1st grade league in 2006 & his official retirement was 8 months after

[@DabDabGoose]

@@Whistler112 not a joke no more.

[@kovalski100]

Darren Lockyer, the best there ever was. An immortal, a legend.

[@godemperorofmankind3.091]

certainly the best five eighth of the last 30 years. if i was making my All-Stars team since 2003, he'd be there.

[@BenLoughlin-fg8yq]

Andrew johns is the best player of all time he's the goat the knights won the grand finals and nsw won the orgin when he was playing, locky is brilliant though

[@Altered-Beast]

​@@BenLoughlin-fg8yq What if Cleary wins it a 4th time 👀

[@joelnorris6698]

Every bronco fan back reliving the glory days

[@lylebray4386]

Best day of my life

[@mjaykuk7881]

Me too

[@hqphilly9410]

No matter how old I get. Darren Lockyer will be my fav player of all time. Just picture perfect football from an absolute legend of the game. Fullback to Five eighth it didnt matter. Goal kicking he had it. Made top 5 missed tackles for a few years but attacking prowess made up for it.

[@Sharkyhayden]

Same😊

[@JackoGamingNrl]

Faxx

[@laxmanthapa640]

As a teen I came to Australia n grew up western suburb in Sydney(parramatta) but I started following Brisbane Broncos coz of Lockyer. He is my hero n all time favourite.

[@johnvandenheuvel6792]

This is Rugby League mate. Soccer does hae nothing to have with it

[@saintpauli7566]

What a group of players on both sides. Lockyer, Smith, Slater, Inglis, Hodges, Webcke, Civonceva, Cronk, Parker, Thorn, Kidwell, Hunt, Tate. Just unreal. ❤

[@TimmyTickle]

Looking back, this feels like an AI-generated fantasy grand final, not something that happened in real life

[@Jimmyjim4]

Back when we didn’t even know about AI, back when we talked to each other instead of txting. Back when the mighty Broncs were the real horses on the paddock! Back when Bennet was to be played by the great Clint Eastwood! They were good days in Rugby!

[@leaderofnoone9087]

The Melbourne Storm have never forgot about this game, and I've never got over it.

[@bandunga64]

robbed

[@thestoicwhinger]

They got some dud calls tbf

[@travismiller1491]

This doesn't haunt me. Manly does.

[@marcus86tiger]

Wouldn’t have counted anyway

[@ZeldonSinghIsFly27.]

We won many championships since then broncos never did

[@Navigator_Isle]

Storm loss only 4 games that year and Broncos 10. This was an absolute steal for the Mighty Broncos.

[@bsladakovic2939]

9:55 how is that not a TRY? I don't support either team but that's an outrageous call

[@Ignatius7778]

One immortal taking down three immortals.

[@Luke-rt9gy]

this was the game that cemented Lockyer as the greatest of all time i beleive, the way he came in and dismantled a very strong storm side that had all 4 future immortals was unmatched. and had absolutely no help in the halves. we will never see anyone like him again.

[@tw3543]

This was locky's year. Scored the winning try in the decider too seal the origin and start the golden run. Scored the sealer for aust in the tri series and lead the broncos to win the GF And was the captain of all teams, I'd doubt anyone in RL history had a year like this. Incredible really.

[@jacksonloram7887]

This broncs team was something else… The whole team apart from the halfback Shane Perry had or eventually played for QLD.

[@100konglish]

wow never realised that

[@localmo88]

I remember this game and it is one of my favourite Grand Finals

[@liamporter1054]

I don’t mind the 2006 NRL Grand Final , my favourite is the 2008 NRL Grand Final Where the 40-0 party has began since 2008

[@bambamfale5057]

Here after the final 😢

[@martontapas1283]

Lockyer has led some unbelievable comebacks in history for queensland and broncos..he shud be an immortal

The amount of legends in this game

[@StayHYDRATEDVisuals]

lockyer, the greatest to ever touch a rugby league ball.

[@darshin95]

Melbourne were so good in the 2006 regular season but LOCKYER is the man

[@simeonyunkaporta2169]

The defence of The Mighty Brisbane Broncos won this Grand Final and I was the happiest man/supporter of this Great team.Up The Bronx and they will build up from 2023 to be the powerhouse club in the NRL again.👍

[@leaderofnoone9087]

My Dad and I are both Broncos supporters, and my Dad decided to watch the game with his best friend, and they were going to drink or night, which means I had to watch this game at my Grandparents, and the Broncos have never won a finals game when my Dad and I are in the same place together watching the game, and it's been 16 years, and counting.

[@tobyparkinson3189]

Andrew Johns will always be my favourite player but Darren Lockyer was so special, a real once in a lifetime player and arguably the best clutch field goal scorer ever, not to mention he played in the broncos most successful era he truely was a legend and that’s coming from a NSW P.S it’s always good to see the storm lose 😄

[@raydoherty7154]

JUst thinking about the names and talent on the field in this game, WOW.

[@zippo_muk9254]

*I hate how Brisbane wore their away jersey. Makes no sense.* Both teams should wear their home jerseys for a GF.

[@nibzzz123]

Wow never thought i’d say this - but storm were robbed. So many calls went against them

[@janicewilson-tx4ck]

Love watching replays bring back memories number 1 fan let's go Broncos ❤

[@shiftrefresh]

Goosebumps!

[@benwatkins2836]

Some pretty how ya goin calls against Melbourne this game. The Shepard leading to a high tackle and penalty goal, No try, then knock on after slater break. Wowzers

[@blank.9301]

I loved the jerseys back in the early 2000's

[@100konglish]

One of the best games, surely Darren Lockyer has to be the next immortal People forget, without him, the Broncos would not have won half their games after Alfie retired

[@motestaplofom8649]

Hodges and Slater would've spent 10 in the bin each for those high shots in 2022.

Facts, kicking standards has gone up in the past decade with Jonathan Thurston, James Maloney and Adam Reynolds and Nathan Cleary. There's more sharpshooters then ever

Up the mighty broncos

[@TheOrganicOverdose]

@8:12 Textbook shepherd. Not sure how the ref missed that. The game was played at breakneck speed, though. Slater and King were weapons, but so were Hodgo and Locky

[@themanwithnothingtolose]

I think shepherd was legal back then

😮

[@johnl9843]

As a Broncos fan, I even knew that was a Matt King try, glad they didn't get it hahaha

It contacted Kings arm. No try, should have been Melbourne's scrum.

@@ostin8611 yeah I assumed that was the call, but at the time I felt really lucky as a Broncos supporter LOL

[@ostin8611]

@@johnl9843 I support the Broncs aswell. Modern camera footage would have given us a clearer view. By the looks of the replay we we're handed posession lol. We we're destined to win that day. We used up all of our good fortune and are still paying till this day, especially against Melbourne.

Didn’t, don’t know what your talking bout

[@Sharkyhayden]

@@SPindustries1 not luck, just how the cookie crumbles

Storm where cheating the cap though so at the end of the day they robbed someone else of being in the GF.

I dont support either but that was a try from Matt King. Storm were robbed.

Imagine Hunt and McCullough in these brisbane sides 🥲🥲🥲 we’d be super elite

Even though I like him no way McCullough gets a sniff with Berrigan playing. Ennis as backup as well.

If there were captiains challenge. This would be a different outcome

Broncos can’t pay the referees anymore and now look where they are
