So not only were the Broncos and Dragons playing, but the Australian's were playing in the Ruby World Cup. Needless to say, the bar was packed. So I sat down at a table and waited...
Just before kick-off, Andy Lee and a bunch of mates walked in. They were sitting down the back in a booth. At half time of the Rugby League, the AFL (Carlton v West Coast) started. With the league and union on, there was only one TV that had the AFL on that was the TV near their booth.
Now anyone who knows me, knows I am sports obsessed. And from where I was sitting I couldn't see the AFL. So I sucked it up, marched down the back of the pub and asked if I could sit at the spare seat so I could watch both sports.
It was a great night (or early morning) of sport watching! My beloved Broncos won, in extra time, with Locky kicking the winning field goal. As it turns out, that would be the last game he ever played for the Broncos. So I was a) glad I sat up and watched it, and b) that he kicked the winning field goal. Was a great way for him to go out!!
AFL wise, it was a cracker! Went right to the wire with West Coast getting up by 3.
In the end I left the pub at 9.30am. It was such a fabulous night of sport. A night I will definitely remember for a long time to come.
