Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2720284, member: 1899"] ROUND 15 CANTERBURY 25; BRISBANE 10 at Lang Park Steve Mortimer, on the outer as a “full time” first grader after a debilitating illness, stole the show at Lang Park as the Bulldogs swept to a valuable 25-10 victory. Mortimer played just 31 minutes of the match, but his influence in that half hour was remarkable. He first climbed off the reserves bench late in the first half as a head bin replacement for Paul Dunn and in six sharp minutes, showed the sign of things to come. Coach Phil Gould sent Mortimer back into the game 15 minutes into the second half as Brisbane clung to a 10-9 lead. Six minutes later it was all over. Mortimer and fullback Jason Alchin produced a superb try for centre Glen Nisssen for 15-10 and then Mortimer toed through a kick which brought about a try for Robin Thorne, all-but wrapping up the match. Brisbane were solid – but ultimately unable to cover for the loss of trump players Greg Dowling and Gene Miles (injury) and Wally Lewis and Greg Conescu (Test commitments) CANTERBURY 25 (Nissen, Langmack, Thomas, Thorne tries; Lamb 4 goals; Lamb field goal) defeated BRISBANE 10 (Le Man, Walters tries; Matterson goal) Brisbane: Shane Duffy, Michael Hancock, Chris Johns, Rohan Teevan, Joe Kilroy Gary French, Allan Langer Brad Tessman, Kerrod Walters, Andrew Tessmann, Bryan Niebling, Brett Le Man, Terry Matterson.
