Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742062, member: 1899"] Round 1 BRISBANE 28; PENRITH 8 at Lang Park The Broncos were ruthless and precise in their 28-8 dispatch of the Penrith at Lang Park, and confirmed their position as early premiership favourites. In the first half they were presented with three chances – and scored three tries. At the break it was 14-0 and the match was in the bag. Centre Chris Johns and ex-centre Gene Miles were the Broncos’ destroyers. Johns was in slashing form as a replacement for injured Test centre Peter Jackson, while Miles proved his transformation to the second row was complete. Penrith claimed they didn’t play poorly, despite the lop-sided scoreline. They missed second-row partners John Cartwright and Mark Geyer for the match, but were simply no match for the rampaging Broncos. Brisbane finished with six tries to Penrith’s two – a convincing opening to their premiership campaign.
