The Brisbane Broncos can produce a winger. From Willie Carne to Michael Hancock, Wendell Sailor to Lote Tuqiri and Jharal Yow Yeh.
He isn’t quite in that category yet but big winger Corey Oates has a chance to make his own dent in Brisbane’s illustrious history when he goes up against inform Sydney Rooster Shaun Kenny-Dowall on Friday for a spot in the decider.
“It’s a thing most kids look forward to when they are a little kid,” said Oates.
“It’s my first time being here because the last couple of years weren’t the best.
“The best thing we have been told is not look forward to next week but concentrate on this week.
“Just go out there and play the best game you can.
“I don’t think about the game too much until the day or just before it.
“You don’t want to get too excited too early.
“The best thing is don’t look at what the outcome could be – just wait until you get out there and get the hype off the crowd and play the best you can.”
