Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2720136, member: 1899"] ROUND 11 CANBERRA 36; BRISBANE 16 at Lang Park Canberra’s Queensland contingent turned on some of their State of Origin team-mates in a cannibalistic slaughter of the Broncos – Brisbane’s biggest defeat at Lang Park. Fullback Gary Belcher, centre Peter Jackson and prop Sam Backo were all part of Queensland’s stunning 26-18 first State of Origin win only five days before the Raiders faced Brisbane. Up against Maroon team-mates Gene Miles, Allan Langer, Joe Kilroy and Greg Conesu, the Canberra trio were in superb touch. Coolly they cast aside their Queensland ties for 80 minutes. Belcher was a devastating attacking agent, scoring two tries and landing six goals for a personal tally of 20. Jackson and Backo both laid on tries for team-mates as the Raiders topped 30 for the seventh time in 11 games. At the halfway point of their first Winfield Cup campaign, the Broncos were showing signs of wear and tear in the tough weekly grind, and most agreed their fading effort was their poorest of the season. CANBERRA 36 (Belcher 2, Daley, Bellamy, Ferguson, Jackson tries; Belcher 6 goals) defeated BRISBANE 16 (Hancock, Bourke, Noke tries; Matterson 2 goals) Brisbane: Colin Scott, Michael Hancock, Brett Plowman, Chris Johns, Joe Kilroy Terry Matterson, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Andrew Tessman, Gene Miles, Bryan Niebling, Keith Gee. Reserves: Billy Noke, David Bourke, Brad Tessman, Kerrod Walters Canberra Gary Belcher, Craig Bellamy, Laurie Daley, Peter Jackson, John Ferguson Chris O’Sullivan, Ivan Henjak Glen Lazarus, Steve Walters, Sam Backo, Ashley Gilbert, Gary Coyne, Dean Lance Reserves: Chris Houghton, Dean Lonergan, Paul Martin, Ricky Stuart [/QUOTE]
