Flogging a Dead Bronco

Extract taken from The Australian Newspaper, by March 13, 2006

IN 80 minutes, North Queensland showed Brisbane coach Wayne Bennett and his men just how far they have slipped from their days as the league's bully boys, handing out a crushing defeat that leaves many questioning whether these Broncos are in terminal decline.

In front of 46,229 at Suncorp Stadium, five-eighth Johnathan Thurston led the Cowboys to a devastating win as the Broncos failed to deliver on their pre-season promise to move away from the one-dimensional power game that has been described as old-fashioned by some pundits.

Thurston scored three tries, had a hand in three others and nailed six shots at goal to finish with 24 points for the match.
