Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2720643, member: 1899"] ROUND 21 BRISBANE 24; NEWCASTLE 8 at Lang Park Two long-distance tries by Wally Lewis, the man who can do anything on the football field, were highlights of a dour slog between Brisbane and Newcastle, won comfortably by the Broncos. Lewis ran 60 metres for his first try after some excellent lead-up by Michael Hancock and Shane Duffy and 40 metres for his second after a kick was charged down, to take his try tally for the year to 15. The Broncos were rarely in trouble against a Newcastle side who showed considerable determination but little in the way of constructive attacking football. The try count was five to one. Brisbane were not flash. There was much “one out” running, and the three-quarters received little good ball. The Broncos’ defence was solid down centre-field, a pleasing feature for coach Wayne Bennett. They countered the robust charges of the Newcastle forwards throughout. Best for the Knights were Tony Butterfield, Sam Stewart, David Boyd and David Thorne. BRISBANE 24 (Lewis 2, Hancock 2, Miles tries; Lewis 2 goals) defeated NEWCATLE 8 (Butterfield try, McKiernan 2 goals) Brisbane: Shane Duffy, Joe Kilroy, Chris Johns, Rohan Teevan, Michael Hancock Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Andrew Tessmann, Kerrod Walters, Bryan Niebling, Gene Miles, Brett Le Man Terry Matterson.
