Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2719946, member: 1899"] ROUND 7 BALMAIN 26; BRISBANE 18 at Lang Park The Brisbane Broncos crashed to defeat at last in the Winfield Cup – at the hands of Balmain – in one of the season’s highest quality matches. Balmain played with Test match intensity, lifting their game to great heights against one of the competition’s heavyweights The Tigers’ win was well-conceived, generated through a powerful, hungry and mobile pack of forwards that overshadowed the Queensland six. Steve Roach, Benny Elias and Paul Sironen, internationals all, outgunned their opposition. Roach comprehensively won his duel with Test prop Greg Dowling while Elias was too slick and smart for his rival, Greg Conescu. His “dummy” to score the matchwinning try 13 minutes from the end was a magical piece of quick thinking and anticipation. Garry Jack was superb at the back for Balmain. Late in the day he miraculously prevented Broncos’ winger Rohan Teevan from scoring by flipping him on his back over the Tigers’ line. Allan Langer was again the pick of the Broncos. Balmain 26 (Davidson, Jack, Gale, Elias tries; Conlon 5 goals) defeated Brisbane 18 (Teevan, Hancock, Johns tries; Matterson 3 goals) Brisbane: Colin Scott, Rohan Teevan, Chris Johns, Gene Miles, Michael Hancock Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Brad Tessman, Keith Gee, Billy Noke, Terry Matterson. Reserves: Mark Hohn, Brett Le Man Balmain Garry Jack, Clint Robinson, Scott Gale, Matt Parish, John Davidson Ross Conlon, David Rowles Bruce McGuire, Benny Elias, Steve Roach, Paul Sironen, David Brooks, Kevin Hardwick Reserves: Michael Neil, Steve Edmend, Gary Freeman [/QUOTE]
