Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742984, member: 1899"] Round 10 BRISBANE 16, GOLD COAST 2 at Lang Park The Brisbane Broncos avenged their shock 1988 defeat to the Gold Coast in a bitter and spiteful local derby at Lang Park. The Giants scored their first ever Winfield Cup victory by beating their high profile northern neighbours at Seagulls Stadium, but Brisbane showed from the start at Lang Park they were not about to accept the same fate. The forward battle was fierce, with neither side gaining any genuine advantage. It was in the strength of the Brisbane backline that the match was won, however. Apart from fullback Shane Duffy, Brisbane sported a full State of Origin backline, and their class and speed overwhelmed the Giants, who never looked like creating a danger. The after-match accusations of forearms and stiff-arms and spitting allegations were ugly by-products of a tough match. Days later Broncos captain Wally Lewis ($2000) and Gold Coast prop Jim Cowell ($1000) were cited by the NSWRL and fined after a spitting incident. Brisbane 16 (Hancock, Kilroy, Matterson tries; Matterson, Lewis goals) defeated Gold Coast Giants 2 (Benson goal) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Michael Hancock, Tony Currie, Peter Jackson, Joe Kilroy Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Kerrod Walters, James Donnelly, Brett Le Man, Gene Miles, Terry Matterson Reserves: Mark Hohn, Steve Renouf, Gary French Gold Coast Giants Terry Dardengo, Ben Gonzales, Troy McCarthy, Peter Benson, Scott Mieni Mark Gee, Geoff Bagnall Peter Smith, Billy Johnstone, Jim Cowell, Chris Close, Ron Gibbs, Bob Lindner Reserves: Graham Steadman, Neil Hunt, Greg Whitbread, Mark Ross [/QUOTE]
