Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2719945, member: 1899"] Round 6 BRISBANE 24; NEWCASTLE 10 at Newcastle International Sports Centre The Brisbane Broncos continued their winning charge despite a massive 30,220 crowd, nearly all of whom were there to cheer the Knights. The Broncos, spearheaded by trump cards Wally Lewis and Greg Dowling, resisted a brave challenge by the Knights. The Queenslanders waited for all their southern rivals to make a mistake and then took control. The conditions were abysmal, driving rain and a cold north-easterly wind – but none of it dampened the enthusiasm of a record Newcastle crowd and a 30 year record crowd by a premiership match outside the Moore Park area. Lewis, in his inimitable style, controlled the match with his long raking kicks and his authoritative direction of play. Up front Dowling was heavily involved, taking on the keen young Knights pack who stood their ground well for most of the match. But in the end, the Broncos, with the experience of five international had an extra edge, in a dour, muddy struggle. Brisbane 24 (Hancock, Langer, Miles, Dowling tries; Matterson 4 goals)) defeated Newcastle 10 (Fulmer, McKiernan tries; Tew goal) Brisbane: Colin Scott, Joe Kilroy, Chris Johns, Gene Miles, Michael Hancock Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Andrew Tessmann, Keith Gee, Billy Noke, Terry Matterson. Reserves: Rohan Teevan, [B]Brad Tessmann[/B] Newcastle Tony Kemp, Steve Fulmer, Glenn Frendo, Glenn Miller, Gavin Hanrahan Robbie McCormack, Robbie Tew Tony Butterfield, Tony Townsend, David Thorne, Michael McKiernan, Sam Stewart, David Boyd [FONT=&amp]Reserves: Brett Shore, Marc Glanville[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
