Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2719763, member: 1899"] Round 3 BRISBANE 38; WESTS 4 at Orana Park Brisbane went about their business in a cool, confident and methodical manner and were never seriously extended by the rookie Magpies. Apart from Allan Fallah and Allen Geelan Wests fielded a team of greenhorns, and although tey showed plenty of fight, there was never much doubt that Lewis, Dowling and co. would win the day. “King Wally” took it nice and easy, and did just enough to send the Magpies packing – a sure sign of a player in control of proceedings. The Broncos led 16-0 after only 18 minutes and the match was as good as won. They settled back for half an hour, and were quite uninspiring before running in four more tries later in the game. Wests desperately missed the experience of Ian Schubert, Ian Freeman and Trevor Cogger. Coach Laurie Freier said the team of youngsters was “overawared early”. The Broncos centre import Chris Johns continued his excellent season form with two tries, while 21-year-old lock Terry Matterson contributed another 14 points to his big early season points tally. Brisbane Broncos 38 (Johns 2, Scott, Teevan, Lewis, Langer, Matterson tries; Matterson 5 goals) defeated Wests 14 (Geelan try) Brisbane: Colin Scott, Joe Kilroy, Chris Johns, [B]Rohan Teevan[/B], Michael Hancock Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Mark Hohn, Keith Gee, Billy Noke, Terry Matterson. Reserves: [B]David Bourke[/B], Bryan Niebling Wests Steve McCoy, John Allanson, Michael Hoy, Allen Geelan, Danny Peacock Michael McClintock, Doug Rawlings Scott Tronc, Allan Fallah, Dave Woods, Gary Bukowski, David Gallagher, Cameron Blair Reserves: Wayne Simonds, Scott Gale, Ian Howcroft, Craig Teitzel [/QUOTE]
