Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742992, member: 1899"] Round 14 CANTERBURY 22; BRISBANE 8 at Belmore Sports Ground Canterbury showed there was fight in the old dog yet with a devastating display against equal second-placed Brisbane. With 11 of the 1988 grand final winning side back together, it was a performance reminiscent of the Bulldogs of old with a crushing forward display and plenty of backline dash. Second-rower David Gillespie scored some smashing hits, and the support of the rest of the pack was central to the victory. Brisbane were weakened by the loss of five-eighth Wally Lewis on top of Allan Langer’s injury but they still possessed trump cards in Hancock, Jackson, Currie, Walters, Miles and Backo. It was an uncharacteristic performance by the Broncos, as much a turn around for them as it was for the previously lacklustre Canterbury. Fullback Jason Alchin was a deserved man of the match. His trysaving defence and scrambling play at the rear was a highlight of the match. Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs 22 (Nissen 2, Alchin, Folkes tries; Lamb 3 goals) defeated Brisbane Broncos 8 (Le Man try, Matterson 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Shane Duffy, Michael Hancock, Chris Johns, Steve Renouf, Rohan Teevan Peter Jackson, Gary French Greg Dowling, Kerrod Walters, James Donnelly, Brett Le Man, Gene Miles, Terry Matterson Reserves: Sam Backo, Brook Kennedy, Greg Conescu, Grant Rix Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs Jason Alchin, Robin Thorne, Andrew Farrar, James Corcoran, Glen Nissen Terry Lamb, Mark Watson Peter Tunks, Joe Thomas, Paul Dunn, David Gillespie, Steve Folkes, Paul Langmack Reserves: Darren McCarthy, Glen Haggath, Geordi Peats [/QUOTE]
