I too can't help but watch that game without feeling a sense of nostalgia for all the reasons you have mentioned.
The NRL teams have just done the basics of RL, but to the highest possible standard. No errors. Keep your discipline. Let your big blokes work their way up the field (not wildly putting shift plays on in your own half) who provide the platform for the backs to wreak havoc with brilliantly executed plays. The kicking game of all 3 Aussie sides was vastly superior too.
The sad thing is had Wire/Wigan kept their discipline with the ball, retaining posession and therefore not burning their energy - I think both sides would have won.
Souths on the other hand were on a different planet to all 5 of the other sides.
Quote: Ovavoo "Broncos obviously suffering from the battering they took against Wigan, were as Souths, nice and fresh from their stroll in the park against Sts took full advantage.'"
