The Broncos were so close. They could taste it. The 2015 grand final was theirs. They just had to see off another Cowboys set and they were premiers for an eighth time. Reporters had written their ledes. The engravers were preparing the B. The champagne north of the Tweed was being taken off ice.
And then the nightmare. A Michael Morgan flick, a Kyle Feldt dive, a Ben Hunt drop and a Johnathan Thurston field goal. North Queensland were premiers while Brisbane were left to lament what could have been, fighting through the sting of letting slide dreams, hopes and ambitions.
