Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742066, member: 1899"] Round 5 BRISBANE 24; NEWCASTLE 12 at Lang Park Indiscipline could have cost Newcastle a win in their nationally televised Saturday match against Brisbane. With play at a stalemate for much of the first half, as indiscretion by Knights’ centre Glen Miller, in possession inside his own quarter gave the Broncos a winning impetus. Miller was sin-binned for 10 minutes. While he was cooling his heels, the Broncos slipped in for two tries and an 8-0 halftime lead. Although the Knights scored the first try of the second half, Brisbane quickly moved back into winning mode. They scored three tries in 12 minutes to race to a matchwinning 24-6 lead. Halfback Allan Langer brilliantly orchestrated most of the Broncos attacking work. His uncanny anticipation and unlimited skills made for some thrilling football for Brisbane’s adoring fans. He was far and away the player of the match although Newcastle fullback Gary Wurth was a classy performer in a beaten side. Brisbane Broncos 24 (Donnelly, Langer, Niebling, Johns, Currie tries; French, Lewis goals) defeated Newcastle Knights 12 (Wurth, Johnston tries; Johnston 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Michael Hancock, Tony Currie, Chris Johns, Joe Kilroy Gary French, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Kerrod Walters, James Donnelly, Brett Le Man, Gene Miles, Wally Lewis Reserves: Craig Teevan, Bryan Niebling, Ray Herring Newcastle Knights Gary Wurth, Arnold Krewanty, Glenn Miller, Jeff Doyle, Dairi Kovae Michael Hagan, Steve Fulmer Peter Johnston, Tony Butterfield, Mark Sargent, Michael McKiernan, Sam Stewart, Robbie McCormack Reserves: James Goulding, Tony Kemp, Glenn Frendo, Tony Townsend [/QUOTE]
