NRL Grand Final Match Highlights | Melbourne Storm v Brisbane Broncos | 2006 

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. 🔥🙏🏾💪🏾

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

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.

Every bronco fan back reliving the glory days

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

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

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

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

One immortal taking down three immortals.

Darren Lockyer is the GOAT. He deserves all his accolades. What a player.

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.

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

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

Here after the final 😢

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

The amount of legends in this game

Came here after the panthers - broncos final

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.👍

how is darren lockyer not an IMMORTAL........guy was a genius.

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

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 😄

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.

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

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

Goosebumps!

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

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

I loved the jerseys back in the early 2000's

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

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

Who’s here watching this before the 2023 grand final?

8:03 the baby though 😂

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

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

a match filled with greats

No greater sight than seeing Hoffman bawl like a baby 😂😂

Amazing to see Smith, cronk and slater at 23 years of age and to think they maintained that level for the next 12-14 years

So many great players at that time

I'm Broncos supporter from Cape York Peninsula number 1 fan up the Broncos 🎉🎉

Not even a broncos fan but they should bring back the white jerseys they were fresh

As a Broncos fan born in 2006 wasnt old enough to witness this game but man its nice to know the Bronx have won the GF during my lifetime

@13:06 best part of the highlights

The good ol days 😅🏉

Again the Mighty Brisbane Broncos for that year.🤟👍

Congrats 🎉👍

Best game in history

Broncos this year. Bro

is the full match available by any chance?

That pass wasn't for Tate but he said I'll still take that bullet pass an score.🎉

Don’t mind 2006 NRL Grand Final, but can you do the 2008 NRL Grand Final

How good was the commentary back in these days so much better then these w⚓️ers we have now

That year my hopes ran out broncos lost alot of games but managed to stay in the comp til the end and shocked everyone when they dominated the Melbourne storms 🤣💔

Best foward pack of all time Brisbane

The storm are some team went on to play in four grandfinals in a row then more after that they are the team of the last 20 years I dont follow them but there solid

Bring back real rugby league like this

Greatest Broncos side ever!

Mis those broncos games

@66.40 in the match watch Petro take a full Kidwell shoulder to the head and get up. Petro said "I saw stars, I saw gallaxies I saw whole constelations" Shane Webcke said "stay with me Bulla" I don't know what Kidwell said.

8:14 back when obstruction was legal

Locky with ice in his veins

Wayne Bennett and the mighty Broncos

This game was the only time Broncos where the good guys.

I was just a kid watching this...

Back then the Broncos dominated QLD...

Lokyer, Webcke, Hodges, Caroll, Berrigan, Petero, Thorne, Boyd, Thaiday, Tate, Stagg, Carlaw, Parker, Mcguire..... phew...

Broncos,,,, were build to be champ's

2:48: if that happened nowdays they would have sent it to the bunker and found an obstruction

always good to see the storm lose

Too good from Solomon Islands

I'm no fan of Melbourne but geez they copped a couple of extremely dodgy calls.

Have the broncos beaten the storm since? Curently 2022

Berrigan on Inglis...cant run without legs

if this game was played in todays league there would have been at least 3 yellow cards lol

Good job zaviar From Nate jjjjjjjjjjjjjj

The conversion kicks this final are horrible.

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

@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

Hah….I know exactly where I was when the mighty Broncos defeated the dirty storm. Locky for Immortal 💪💪💪💪💪💪 6:15 hhhmmm….I predict a 15-8 final score 🙈🙈🙈🙈

Up the mighty broncos

SECOND

First

I'm not a storm fan, but the refs robbed them lol that disallowed try and that pass after the break that touched a Broncos player and went out of touch.

Lovey mighty Broncos what a team they were

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

Shocking refereeing.

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

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

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