ROUND 20
  PARRAMATTA 22; BRISBANE 14 at Parramatta Stadium
   
  Parramatta’s superior reserve strength knocked the Broncos to their knees in a top notch encounter at Parramatta Stadium.
   
  Brisbane were without five regular first graders, Bryan Niebling, Greg Dowling, Joe Kilroy, Rohan Teevan and Shane Duffy and lost Greg Conescu midway through the match.
   
  Parramatta were similarly burdened. They had been without many matchwinning stars for large slices of the season, but their depth shone as they beat the semi-final hopefuls 22-14.
   
  A heartening return to form by Steve Ella was  the highlight of the match. Ella dictated play at five-eighth and sliced through Brisbane’s defence and set up opportunities for his outside men repeatedly.
   
  He booted five goals from six attempts too, and they proved decisive in the three tries-apiece encounter.
   
  Brisbane’s world class halfback pairing of Allan Langer and Wally Lewis again were strong and effective.
   
  PARRAMATTA 22 (Ella, Settree, Laurie tries; Ella 5 goals) defeated BRISBANE 14 (Lewis, Hancock, Johns tries; Lewis goal)
   
    Brisbane: 
  Colin Scott, Joe Kilroy, Chris Johns, Craig Teevan, Grant Rix
  Wally Lewis, Allan Langer
  Andrew Tessmann, Greg Conescu, Mark Hohn, Gene Miles, Brett Le Man, Billy Noke.
  Reserves: Kerrod Walters
   
    Parramatta
  Mick Delroy, Tony Chalmers, Michael Erickson, Brian Jackson, Brett Atkins
  Steve Ella, Paul Taylor
  Geoff Bugden, Steve Sharp, Mark Clinton, Peter Ford, Graham Settree, Mark Laurie
