Yeah, I mean, 15 in terms of a grand final.

That's my favourite grand final.

Yeah, I was on the sideline for Wide World of Sports.

Holy shit.

And the plan was... So you were working.

Yeah, I was working, yeah.

Because I was born in Townsville, but cowboys weren't around, you know, back in the Middle Ages when I was born.

But...

uh so the plan was for wide world of sports so and it was this all first all queensland grand final and um i think anz stadium as it was called at that stage they were like oh it's not gonna have any atmosphere it was heaving there were like you know caravans and horse wagons and everyone just making their way down um south of the border and it was a phenomenal atmosphere and i've watched origins and i've watched grand finals there but that 15 grand final in terms of

intensity was phenomenal.

And then the game was amazing.

So the plan was on the sidelines.

So I was there for Wide World of Sports and we had Gordie and we had Darren Lockyer.

So if Cowboys won, the plan was Gordie rushes out and grabs all the Cowboy blokes, like gets JT and gets Matt Scott and whoever, Kyle Felt.

But if the Broncos won, Lockyer was supposed to go and grab all the Broncos.

Anyway, so then the final that, you know, that Ben Hunt knocks on, they set the scrum, JT kicks field goal.

Gordy runs on with his arms in the air like he's just won a trophy.

No microphone, just runs on to celebrate.

And Lockie's there with his head in his hands.

So I'm like, okay, I'm up.
