Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742985, member: 1899"] Round 11 ST GEORGE 20; BRISBANE 10 at Kogarah Oval St George caused one of the most stunning upsets of the 1989 Winfield Cup when they out-enthused the Broncos to win 20-10 on muddy Kogarah Oval. Saints as they did against Balmain a week earlier, came out with all guns firing and scored two converted tries in the opening 12 minutes. It was a victory of specially sweet taste for second-rower Billy Noke, spurned by the Broncos earlier in the season, and Saints’ Queensland connection of Wally Fullerton-Smith, Mark Coyne, Shane Kelly and Peter Gill. The Broncos were beginning to look invincible after winning their previous seven matches, but a game plan formulated by coach Craig Young was carried out to perfection by his ever improving team. Young noticed on video that Allan Langer was moving up faster in defence than Wally Lewis and that there was a gap to be exploited around that area, and five-eighth Peter Gill ran at the opening all game. Up front Osbourne and Kelly continued their dominance in the Kogarah gluepot, and behind them lock Brad Mackay and back-rowers Fullerton-Smith and Noke were in inspired form. St George Dragons 20 (Johnston 2, Walford tries; Walford 4 goals) defeated Brisbane Broncos 10 (Lewis, Dowling tries; Matterson goal) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Michael Hancock, Gary French, Peter Jackson, Steve Renouf Wally Lewis, Allan Langer Greg Dowling, Kerrod Walters, James Donnelly, Brett Le Man, Gene Miles, Terry Matterson Reserves: Grant Rix, Sam Backo, Andrew Gee St George Dragons Darren South, Mark Coyne, Brian Johnston, Michael Beattie, Ricky Walford Peter Gill, Steve Linnane Paul Osborne, Garry Longhurst, Shane Kelly, Wally Fullerton-Smith, Billy Noke, Brad Mackay Reserves: Jason Hoogerwerf, Matthew Elliott [/QUOTE]
