Ah the next few years were a blur of brilliance and guts never let ya mates down never let ya state down its like he was doing it for us There was a bit of controversy but you always stood tall bitta booze bitta women and a series of dud referee calls 7th tackle tries But the cows were coming yeah you couldn’t keep us out it was about more then just the footy the boys played for a region in doubt Ah times were tough the drought really locked in It was all building up for 2015 Cmon fellas it’s not a library talk it up! 2015 who would claim victory the cows and the broncs head to head in Sydney Ah the broncos had it if not for Morgan and Feldt watching that 80-minute try was the best feeling I’ve ever felt Jt converted and he thought it was through but she swung around and the game continued 16 all Benny Hunt dropped the ball Thursto lined up and set her forth…..
