Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742067, member: 1899"] Round 6 BRISBANE 6; PARRAMATTA 2 at Parramatta Stadium Fading light and showers of torrential rain provided the backdrop to a modern day thriller between Brisbane and Parramatta. There was only one try in it, but not one of the 17,006 people at Parramatta Stadium left before the final whistle. Magnificent, last-ditch defensive efforts, relentless attacking surges and breathtaking ball handling in the worst possible conditions were the features of one of the matches of the decade. The scoreboard changed only twice in 80 minutes. Andrew Leeds kicked a penalty goal after two minutes and Chris Johns scored a try, converted by Gary French, after 29 minutes. Johns’ try was a long range special, started inside the Brisbane quarter by French, who chipped ahead for centre Tony Currie to regather and he set Johns on a 50 metre dash for the line to score. A hush enveloped the crowd when Peter Sterling was carted from the fild wearing a neck brace, but fortunately the injury was not serious. Brisbane halfback Allan Langer stood out in a magnificent display from both teams. Brisbane Broncos 6 (Johns try; French goal) defeated Parramatta Eels 2 (Leeds goal) 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: Terry Matterson Parramatta Eels Andrew Leeds, Brett Atkins, Brian Jackson, Michael Erickson, Jeremy Ticehurst Brett Kenny, Peter Sterling Geoff Bugden, Paul Taylor, Rod Slater, Peter Wynn, Craig Izzard, Mark Laurie Reserves: Eric Grothe, Peter Martin, Danny Crnkovich, John Muggleton [/QUOTE]
