Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2742997, member: 1899"] Round 15 SOUTHS 20, BRISBANE 8 at Lang Park Souths extended their lead in the Winfield Cup to four points when they outplayed the Broncos 20-6 in front of a vocal Lang Park crowd. The Rabbitohs, unencumbered by having no players involved in the Australian tour of New Zealand, were too classy and experienced for the Broncos, who were without 10 regulars. Five-eighth Phil Blake, elevated to captain after halfback Craig Coleman was disciplined for missing training had one of his finest games, scoring two brilliant individual tries. But it was the kicking game of Blake and Coleman that destroyed the Broncos. The pair used the swirling wind to great advantage and pressured Brisbane into error. The Rabbitohs’ strength up front, with hooker Jim Sedaris and the experienced Les Davidson and David Boyle prominent, provided the groundwork for victory. Best for Brisbane were workhorse prop Greg Dowling, five-eighth Gary French, lock Terry Matterson and centre Chris Johns. South Sydney Rabbitohs 20 (Blake 2, O’Neil tries; Ellison 4 goals) defeated Brisbane Broncos 8 (Conescu try; Matterson 2 goals) Brisbane Broncos Rohan Teevan, Ken Gittens, Steve Renouf, Chris Johns, Joe Kilroy Gary French, Grant Rix Greg Dowling, Greg Conescu, Scott Tronc, James Donnelly, Brett Plowman, Terry Matterson Reserves: Grant Graving, Mark Hohn South Sydney Rabbitohs Bronko Djura, Steve Mavin, Paul Roberts, Darryl Neville, Ross Harrington Phil Blake, Craig Coleman Mark Lyons, Jim Sedaris, David Boyle, Les Davidson, Wayne Chisholm, Michael Andrews Reserves: Mark Ellison, Adam O’Neill, Rick Stone, Darren Maroon [/QUOTE]
