Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742989, member: 1899"] Round 12 CANBERRA 27; BRISBANE 6 at Seiffert Oval Before a record crowd at Seiffert Oval, Canberra continued their magnificent Queanbeyan form to thrash Brisbane 27-6 in a match of high drama. Brisbane, already missing halfback Alan Langer with a broken ankle, lost skipper Wally Lewis with was was suspected as a recurrence of the broken arm he suffered in the 1988 World Cup final. X-rays later cleared Lewis, but it was apparent that without Langer and Lewis, the Broncos would struggle to match strides with the tremendously mobile Canberra outfit. Lock Bradley Clyde played one of his finest matches and set him up as the front-line contender for the Australian lock forward position after the State of Origin injury to Gold Coast’s Bob Lindner. Clyde, 19, scored two tries, including a solo effort from near halfway which thrilled the crowd of 18,272. Support from fellow forwards Gary Coyne, Brent Todd and Glenn Lazarus was considerable and in the backline halfback Ricky Stuart and centres Laurie Daley and Ivan Henjak had fine games. Canberra Raiders 27 (Clyde 2, Ferguson, Belcher, Dimond tries; Belcher 2, Stuart goals, Stuart field goal) defeated Brisbane Broncos 6 (Matterson try, Matterson goal) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Tony Currie, Peter Jackson, Chris Johns, Joe Kilroy Wally Lewis, Gary French Greg Dowling, Kerrod Walters, Sam Backo, Brett Le Man, Gene Miles, Terry Matterson Reserves: Steve Renouf, James Donnelly, Brett Plowman, Greg Conescu Canberra Raiders Gary Belcher, John Ferguson, Laurie Daley, Ivan Henjak, Phil Carey Chris O’Sullivan, Ricky Stuart Glenn Lazarus, Steve Walters, Brent Todd, Gary Coyne, Craig Dimond, Bradley Clyde Interchange: Craig Bellamy, Kevin Walters, Ashley Gilbert, Mark Bell [/QUOTE]
